John C Bragg

Title Look No Further if you want, Extremely Aggressive,…read moreIntegrity, Honest with Very Positive Results in Any Court Room. I, David Simoniello retained John Bragg from the Spring Street Law Building located in Independence when my X Wife just would not go away. My X wife, after losing in our divorce case, decided to try and strum up some bogus "Invasion of Privacy" charges against me in retaliation. I was then referred to John Bragg's from my divorce attorney, due to her not handling jury trials. Jury trial is the direction these type of charges tend to go. She referred to John Bragg as a "Pit Bull that will take hold of a leg and won't let go!". My experience with John Bragg was just that. 1. He called the prosecutor to his office and pressed her for the evidence that did not exist. He got so loud & aggressive with the prosecutor, the whole office heard it and the prosecutor put her tail between her legs an ran out of the office! Later that evening the prosecutor dropped the charges. 2. John Bragg then filed "mischievous charge" law suit against my X for $1,000,000.00 referencing all of the public humiliation and embarrassment she put me through along with legal fees. On 9/07/2017 after a 3 day jury trial, comprised of 12 Jurors, I was awarded $33,000.00. John Braggs 45 yrs of experience along with being a prosecuting attorney in a nearby city, really showed those three days. John really owned that court room. It was really obvious that this wasn't Johns first rodeo. I was so proud to be his client and wouldn't ever hesitate to retain him again, even over the free service that Ford Motor Company provides me. I might add, this guy knows EVERYONE in the court house, very popular. Please feel free to look up the case number 1616-CV27512 on the Missouri Casenet site.

Long story short, it was a really ruff patch in my life and I wanted to accept responsibility for my past , get my messes cleaned up and take care of it. I of course was very nervous! I reached out to the law office of Camron Hoorfer and Mr. Hoorfer and his team took my case and immediately got to work! With in a week I had my license back and in less than a month had me in court for my felony case and got my warrant taken care of with out doing any jail time and settled my case with an outcome more satisfactory than I expected! Zero jail time! Mr. Hoorfer and his team are very professional! There communication skills are a higher class! I was kept up to date throughout the whole process and got a response almost immediately anytime I had questions or concerns. I never felt ignored or that any question I had was irrelevant. The paralegal Tabitha Bahorski who helped throughout much of the process was top notch on helping me with difficult paperwork and helping me navigate all of my obstacles after the case had been resolved in court which in my experience with other attorneys doesn't happen... once court is finished the job is done. They are very thorough from start to finish! In court Camron spoke on my behalf very clearly and confidently and I really felt represented. Obviously anyone in court on a felony case is nervous and when you add to that having a warrant for not showing to court for almost 5 years that makes your attorneys job that much more difficult. I'm very appreciative of Camron and his team for the way they handled my case in the courtroom and out of the courtroom! Very satisfied! 5 out of 5 stars!

Serious Concerns Regarding Communication, Billing, and Case Handling:…read more Our experience with the Law Office of Camron Hoorfar, P.C. concerning a property-related lawsuit was deeply disappointing. We retained the firm to prepare and file a petition regarding 10212 Belmont Avenue, paid $7,000 in advances, and repeatedly authorized the firm to proceed with filing. Despite repeated statements that the petition was complete, ready to file, or required only minor revisions, the lawsuit was never filed before the firm terminated the representation. We also experienced significant confusion concerning who the firm represented. The written fee agreement identified myself as "Client," the firm communicated legal strategy directly with him, sent him the petition for substantive review, billed for reviewing his comments, and repeatedly sought his authorization before filing. Later, however, the firm characterized Terren as the sole client and Lonnie as a third-party payor, while also stating in writing that "you are both our clients." Those positions were difficult to reconcile and were never adequately explained. We have serious concerns about the handling of the case materials and billing. The firm billed attorney time to download the evidence repository, but the drafting attorney later appeared not to have access to important folders and documents. The client file returned to us also appeared materially incomplete. We additionally identified discrepancies between the attorney time billed for petition drafting and the recorded editing metadata in several petition drafts, including drafts identifying automated document-generation tools as the creator. The firm terminated the representation shortly after we requested the complete file, trust accounting, billing support, call recordings, preservation of relevant evidence, and limitations on further billing pending review. We now dispute all fees paid and have requested a complete accounting and supporting documentation. We cannot recommend this firm based on our experience. Clients considering representation should ensure that the engagement agreement clearly identifies every client, obtain written confirmation of filing deadlines and case status, request regular complete copies of the client file, and closely review invoices and trust-account activity throughout the representation. We paid $7,000 to have a petition created and a lawsuit filed, only to receive an A.I. generated petition and withdrawal after we questioned the billing, which totaled over $8,790 billed with no lawsuit even filed or being even ready to file.

Blevins And Pietz

I found this attorney through a federal employee resource website that claimed to offer discounted…read moreservices for government workers. Unfortunately, my experience with Mr. Pietz has been devastating. From the very beginning, he showed little effort or compassion in representing me. He refused to include critical personal evidence and firsthand experiences that could have supported my case. He was aware that the government was going through reductions in force, and now, during this shutdown, I've been left struggling to pay my balance. I explained clearly that without an approved budget, we lose overtime -- yet instead of understanding, I was met with threats when I couldn't pay immediately after court. I'm a single, hardworking mother with no living family, having just bought my first home nine months ago. I'm trying to refinance and take out an equity loan, so I can't even open a credit card right now. I recently went through an incredibly traumatic and unjust custody case, filled with false accusations and parental alienation. Despite being the stable parent, the court ruled against me, and I'm now ordered to pay child support for the child my ex kept from me -- something I simply cannot afford right now. On top of that, I've faced major unexpected expenses: an emergency root canal and crown, a broken window repair, and now car repairs -- all of which I've provided proof for. I even communicated my hardship to his assistant, who assured me that they understood. Yet when I reminded Mr. Pietz of that conversation, he denied it entirely. And now, despite everything, he's suing me -- during a government shutdown, when federal workers are struggling just to get by. So much for supporting the very people this firm claims to stand behind. I've never felt so dismissed or unsupported in my life. I cannot in good conscience recommend this law firm to anyone, especially to other federal employees who deserve real advocacy, not added hardship.
