This was my worst experience I've ever had with an attorney. I met with Charles Dunn on June 26th…read moreand paid $3500 for him to start working on court case. The next week he sent me some documents to get notorized and returned to him by email. I returned the documents on July 6th. I contacted him by email to confirm he received the paperwork and that everything was correct. I never received a response. A few days later I called and left a voicemail but never received a call back. I continued to call and email every few days, I never got a response. I stopped by the office twice and no one was there. I called the bar association to find out what I should do next. After 4 weeks of no contact or hearing anything about my case from Charles Dunn I disputed my $3500 credit card transaction and hired another attorney. The next day Mr Dunn called me and apologized and said he was on vacation and my case slipped through the cracks.

I hired Christopher Reid (Dothan, AL & Birmingham, AL Lawyer) September 2020 to represent me…read moreregarding my ex-wife and her continuous violations of our divorce order (she has been keeping me from my daughters). I terminated Christopher Reid Feb/Mar 2021 following poor representation. Upon terminating him, Christopher Reid sent me an email, saying I threatened to hurt my ex-wife (attached) which, I replied that I did not make any threats of hurting anyone. Christopher Reid followed-up with yet another email stating I am a good man and would never shy away from a phone call to work things out (this makes absolutely no sense); Christopher Reid is contradicting himself and also committing perjury. Christopher Reid has a trend when I terminated him not once but twice lying about me having a plan or will to hurt someone. I hired Charles Reese Neevel after terminating Christopher Reid the 1st time and within a few days, Christopher Reid called me and told me how awful Mr. Charles Reese Neevel was and how he was just was able to practice law again from being barred. I terminated Mr. Charles Reese Neevel and rehired Christopher Reid. Christopher Reid also told me he would pay me what I paid Mr. Charles Reese Neevel, but he never did (attached). Following the re-hire, Christopher Reid was adamant about working hard on my case but, fell short on the second court appearance...again. I terminated him and filed a bar complaint. After filing a bar complaint, Christopher Reid committed perjury by falsifying a story (see attached) which, included I had plans to hurt a judge, my ex-wife and her family; this was a complete lie. His actions could have sent me to jail and has since ruined my military career and, is keeping me from seeing and speaking to my daughters! Unfortunately, the military is now looking to discharge me from service after serving this great Country for 19.5 years and serving 14 tours between Iraq and Afghanistan. With nowhere to go to prove my innocence, I volunteered to take a polygraph examination (attached) from a Multi-State licensed and Certified Polygraph examiner (Andrew Goldstein) whose accuracy rates are 95-98 percent, compared to less quality testing options of only 50% +/-. Andrew Goldstein professional credentials are attached. Christopher Reid committed perjury, slander and defamation of character to include being the direct result of a restraining order which, is keeping me from speaking and or seeing my two daughters residing in Geneva, Alabama. Christopher Reid was supposed to be fighting to prove my ex-wife was in contempt from keeping me from seeing and talking to my daughters since 2017, but now he's the direct result of why I can't. I have since seen a psychologist and psychiatrist and now suffer from mental and emotional abuse and I have developed anxiety which I am currently being treated for. This is all documented in my military medical records. If it was true, that I was going to hurt someone, why would he wait until I terminated him a second time and the submission of a bar complaint to bring forward these accusations? Also, there is no evidence that I was/were or had plans to hurt anyone besides allegations from Christopher Reid. Desperate to prove my innocence, I volunteered to subject myself to a state licensed polygraph which was 95-98 percent accurate; results are attached. Contact the polygraph examiner if you or anyone questions the validity of the exam. Christopher Reid has not only ruined my military career, he is now the direct reason I cannot see or speak to my daughters after taking 8k from me, performing poorly then, committed perjury, slander and defamation of character which has ruined my military career.

Please click on the link below after you read the excerpt if you would like to hear a little bit about my experience with this law firm. I Hired Bahakel & Associates back in April 2018 to continue representing me in a gruesome divorce case that started in 2017. I must say, Mr. Phillip Bahakel is very knowledgeable at law and speaks it very well in which I admit convinced me to hire him. Upon my initial consultation with Mr. Phillip he was able to point out several issues that my previous attorney made. I went to Mr. Phillip in desperate need of good representation. I didn't have the fund to afford Mr. Phillip, but my family listened at how a bragged on him and his exceptional knowledge and experience in family law so they paid Mr. Phillip for me................ (Excluded) Mr. Phillip didn't get 2 stars by accident, he got an additional star for how well he fooled and played me for 10 months, such an amazing character that makes you feel like he's so compassionate.
