It cost me the case and my blood draw was under the legal limit. We did not get it till I personally looked into it a few days after agreeing to take a plea. Seemed like a large oversight for a 5k cost.

Initial conversation was what sold me. After listening to my story, he stated, "I'm at that stage…read morein my career that I will only take on new cases that I can win.". After I sent in the retainer, it was all downhill. He NEVER returned emails. He then charged me and invoiced for me each email I sent at $60 a pop with no return response. 14 emails and 3 phone calls each billed to me. I needed to get reimbursed for my out of pocket expenses with were now totaling in the $3000 range and he did absolutely nothing for 8 solid months. He did nothing to be proactive during the entire case. On 4 separate occasions, I would either find out a new development from the opposing party or request documents from the opposing party and send them to Van Epps. Van Epps actually charged me for sending those documents to him which he was supposed to send me. I would email Van Epps a court document and then he would have his staff put that Same document in the mail and CHARGE ME $120. WHAT!! Bottom line is that I had no representation--everything I did I personally negotiated with the opposite party. I sold everything in the trust and personal items in the trust, He never ever got me a dime for My PR fees for doing all this work. He did absolutely nothing on my behalf. I prepared the accounting for him, and I acquired documents from the court personally to do so. So that statement he made in the beginning--what it really meant was this..."I'm too old, tired, and lazy to do anything but I'll take your case so you can have a lawyer on paper and I will charge you astronomically until you lose or you give up, you fire me, and find another lawyer."
