Tom viner is the most expensive lawyer. I have ever hired at three hundred fifty dollars an hour…read moreand the worst attorney I have ever hired. This attorney showed up 1 hour late for my court date. Of course, that doesn't make the d. A happy. Terrible representation did not do what he would say. He would do when I hired him to challenge urin test. When i ask questions to tom and the rude law clerk conner they got defensive and rudely argued and refused. He admitted to me by asking #what is the iowa farm hemp law. He has no idea. They became rude left me hanging out to dry. I called 3 days earlier to confirm another court date in Scott County. Connor said everything's good only to make a trip over there. An hour and a 1/2 from my house Tom. Biner waits till the last minute to call me 3 hours before. Tell me he's extended at 30 days. And I don't have to go that day. Wasted trip. I would invite him Tom to call me in disgust. But obviously we all know that he won't, as he denies things. You got my number. No guidance. He told me. I would not be able to drive out a state on it. Temporarily restricted license, he was wrong the d o t. Said I can there were several things he said that was flat out wrong, such as fees and finds daddy later denies. Dismissed case and full punishment. Several thousand later and losing license 6 months payin for interlock ignition devise 6 months thousands in court cost fines dot expenses sr22 ignition lock cost jail time probation 1 year and assigned probaton officer. Substance and alcohol dependency evaluation 12 hours substance course and all the expense with it. I am 62 first offense no moving violations in over 5 years blew zero for liquor twice and at station all zero. On disability could not stand on one leg for sobriety test nor. Offered up all information right away to officer that i have medical mmj card disability and that i had small amount of hemp flower that is perfectly legal in iowa and gets shipped to iowa by mail. DO NOT hire tom viner nobody deserves to be treated like this He refused to listen and got very rude when all i did was ask how is this dismissed if i am punished with everything anyway. I have been hung up on by conner. Lied to by conner. $350 hour for nothing but court forms. He never challenged anything and the state offered up a plea deal he wanted me to take before he challenged things no comment from him on officer camera that shows problems and lies from the camera to the officers deposition officer refused to explain the process refused me of water, made numerous mistakes. I cannot begin to mention everything and explain the entire case. Because nobody wants to read a five page manifest for a review so I will leave it like this. Anyone is more than welcome to make contact with me through my profile. If they would like to discuss it further, as I'm sure that Tom will leave a reply on here. Like all of his other bad reviews, this is not true. I don't think I would have taken the time to do this if that was the case.

I've never had to hire an attorney before, never needed one. But I was afraid. Although I was…read moretelling the truth I wouldn't get my point across, that I wouldn't win my case. Mark Liabo was the husband of a coworker with whom I used to work. I told him what happened at my job, that my "assignment had ended." My employer, TalentBurst Inc., said that I had 'quit' my temporary assignment. If an employer says that you 'quit' YOU have to PROVE that you did not quit. The burden of proof is on the employee NOT the employer. I thought this to be an important tidbit worth mentioning. If you know anything about unemployment you should know that you are not entitled to benefits if you quit your job. I was outraged that after 5 weeks of waiting for information from Iowa Workforce Development they had scheduled a fact finding interview that I missed. Once I discovered that I missed the interview I called the worker back within five minutes. She did not answer the phone; my call went straight to voice mail. I left the worker a message saying that I had not quit. I missed the interview but apparently so did my employer. And 'no' just because the employer didn't show doesn't mean you won. Adversely, 3 days later the IWD worker found that I had 'quit.' I had to appeal the decision. I could have represented myself in court but then I thought, "my employer will have an attorney, is it really wise to represent myself?" I called Iowa Legal Services in the hopes that they could help. I had 3 dealings with that organization and all were not pleasant. The atty. with whom I spoke told me to "stop talking, that I would be further incriminating myself if I continued to talk."' "Hm, I thought, I was telling the truth." Although Iowa Legal Services was free I wasn't comfortable letting them handle something so very important to me. I decided to hire Mark Liabo from Currie & Liabo. We talked twice, each time for about an hour. He was kind, knowledgeable, and straight forward. The night before the hearing, June 11, 2020, Mark 'coached me.' He helped me focus and not just provide information that I 'thought' was relevant. WE WON our case! Granted I should have won my case, I didn't quit. And yet I was not confident that justice would prevail without the help of Mark Liabo. The fee? It was VERY reasonable. In retrospect, if I were to do it over, would I hire an attorney at an unemployment hearing? Absolutely! That was the best money I ever spent!
