After a week of no call back, I called again explaining I have a case coming up and it's been a week without a call back and I need to know how we are proceeding. The receptionist was unprofessional.

The law office of Frances E. Blazer is a cautionary tale in three areas:…read more1) Do not work with an attorney office that offers itself as a cut-rate firm through online legal brokers like Off The Record. 2) Do not work with a company that claims to specialize in very different areas of legal business; in this case, real estate to traffic citations. 3) Do not work with an attorney that makes claims that makes grand promises and claims to what they will do, only to then take a very curt, rude, and brash attitude after they are paid. I am a MD resident that received a speeding citation (10 miles over the freeway speed limit) from NY State Police in the town of Cohocton, NY, on 7/31/23. The Trooper stated to me that the citation would only amount to "around $140." Even so, I did not feel that it was fair to get a traffic ticket, so I contacted offtherecord.com, which offers cheap rates with a guarantee of success or my money back. It also promises a 24 hour money-back guarantee. I paid just under $200 and was assigned to this law office. I tried calling the law office, and after three tries over the course of a few hours, finally got ahold of one of the lawyers from the office that gave me 3 minutes to talk to him. I told him the situation, and he said that (1) I have nothing to worry about; (2) the case will get dismissed; (3) He will talk to the DA to get me dismissed; and (4) I will just need to do a driver safety course. Per the attorney's direction, I took one of the safety courses that he provided me a list of, and also got a copy of my drivers abstract from the State of Maryland. This added another ~$45 dollars to my bill. The attorney then told me to give him my credit card number, without elaborating-- turns out, it is to pay for the New York Diversion Program. Reality quickly set in. The attorney never intended on talking to the DA. In fact, he was just going to push me into the New York diversion program the whole time, which is a self-service, online program through diversionconnect.com where minor traffic violations are thrown out. It happens to require the exact things that the attorney was asking (driver abstract and defensive driving course). The fee is also extremely high-- $275, far more than the original ticket. When combined with what I already paid, it's now well over $500. When I confronted the attorney about him misleading me upon our initial counsult, he claimed that this was always the plan, and admitted he did nothing as he promised with respect to talking to the DA. Even worse, he had the gall to give me an ultimatum-- either I do the program that I could have done myself from the beginning, or he would simply request a 'reduction in points,' knowing that the latter defeats the purpose of hiring the firm in the first place. I took a log of the messages between him and I through offtherecord.com's internal chat system and threatened to report this to the NY State Bar, and from that point on the attorney refused to say anything. The court date is 8/21/2023, the time of this review is 8/14/2023, and the last communication to the attorney on 8/8/2023 was left responded to ever since then. I put in an inquiry to Off the Record, and they had only wasted a few more days of my precious time to only say that they believe that the attorney did satisfiable work without elaborating, and that I will get no compensation for what I view as nothing short of legal malpractice. I have logged all correspondence on this matter between myself and either the attorney or Off the Record's representatives, which can be validated through email forensics or from a review of offtherecord.com's internal chat logs. The court date is coming close, and the attorney forced me under duress to make a decision that runs counter to my interests or stated intent. Also given that the attorney has failed to follow-up from my communications to him, I can only assume he has also abandoned his paying client without returning fees.
