The attorney Anthony McGeorge claimed to love this type of work. He said he "researched this stuff in his free time." Presented this great image and estimated the retainer to be about $3k. That wasn't a problem for me. He even gave me his person cell that he wrote on the back of the card. Met on Friday, emailed him the information he needed that following Monday. Called him two weeks later on his cell phone and left a message. He never called back. 4 weeks later which is today. I call his office. They said they'd have him call me right back. Instead I receive and email saying they decline working with me. No explanation whatsoever! No respect for a potential client. No respect for my issue that is extremely time sensitive. Do not waste your time here! Maybe my money isn't good enough for them. I literally have the cash in hand for them. O well. I'll take my money where people respect me.

As I'm not getting any younger, I reached out to my uncle, who is an attorney in another specialty, to seek a referral for writing my last will and other related legal documents. My uncle worked with David Bale decades ago and could attest to how thoughtful and thorough he was. This certainly proved to be the case. I made first contact via his website and received a prompt response including details about the price, process and expectations. His responsiveness was impeccable from start to finish. In those early emails he provided me with all the materials I needed to be prepared for our first meeting. I greatly appreciated this because when you pay by the hour, time is essentially money. During our first meeting he gently asked informed questions to ensure that he was accurately capturing my intentions. When applicable, he presented several options for me to choose what best suited my needs. After the meeting Mr. Bale drafted all of the necessary documents and emailed them to me for proofing and updating. This was a seamless and efficient process that I feel also saved time and money. Once documents were reviewed, we set our final meeting which included signing, notary services and receipt of official documents & copies thereof. All documents were also provided to me electronically as well. I was quoted $750 for the entire process and we stayed on target. He was kind and made an effort to get to know me in effort to help me make more informed decisions.

I am going to make sure i will review in the most unbiased and descriptive way of all kind of services and people i come across to give a clearer picture to someone who comes after me. Moving on to the main topic, Mr bale was contacted for legal counsel on home closing/real estate. Many attorneys i spoke to required a paid consultation to explain my issue whereas Mr David Bale made sure he had a brief conversation firstly by emails and a short call to understand my requirement of legal counsel totally free. This opens up a window to communicate if you really need a counsel or it is too early or late. Based on his genuine suggestions and advices during our short call i can tell how knowledgeable and experienced he is and i am pretty sure he has dealt with varied real estate related legal situations. In terms of fees, they were reasonable and i think they are standard across all columbus. It is a hard decision to pick an attorney from a plethora of choices on the internet, and i hope my review helps somebody.

At the outset, Susan and I had no clear idea of what we were doing or even what we actually wanted to accomplish.

Review of Mitchell Moreland - Unethical, Dismissive, and Part of the Problem…read more I consulted Mitchell Moreland regarding serious ethical violations and potential malpractice by my former attorney. Instead of receiving legitimate legal advice, I was met with dismissiveness, unprofessionalism, and shocking admissions about how lawyers protect each other from accountability. Major Issues with His Conduct: Dismissed Clear Evidence of Misconduct Despite providing emails and documentation proving unethical behavior by my prior lawyer, Moreland brushed it off as "normal" and claimed nothing was wrong. He admitted lawyers cover for each other, saying, "Your evidence doesn't matter-- Discouraged Reporting to Disciplinary Counsel He lied about the disciplinary process, claiming: *"They'll only look at 1-3 things and ignore the rest."* His attitude was, "Don't bother, nothing will happen." Laughed at Serious Ethical Violations When shown proof that my former attorney admitted judicial bias against immigrants in writing, Moreland laughed, as if amused by the carelessness of leaving evidence. His reaction suggested this is just a game among lawyers--who can exploit clients without getting caught. Admitted to Manipulating the System He boasted, "We do this all the time--we know how to avoid consequences." He even pressures clients to waive their rights, confirming a pattern of misconduct. Hypocritical Given His Own Disciplinary Record After the consultation, I discovered Moreland has been disciplined multiple times--explaining why he downplays ethics violations. His advice wasn't legal guidance--it was damage control for his profession's corruption. Final Verdict: Complicit, Unethical, and Untrustworthy Mitchell Moreland is not a lawyer you can trust if you've been wronged by another attorney. He protects his peers over clients, mocks serious ethical breaches, and actively discourages accountability. If you want real justice, avoid him at all costs--he's part of the problem. I have recorded our conversation. Zack
