Researching divorce attorneys in the Bellingham area for my sister and gave Roy a call. We talked…read morefor a few minutes letting him know it was not a contested divorce and both parties were in agreement. He also mentioned he could go to court if need be.

I told him my fiance would use her own attorney and then showed me the door! I told him I wanted my deposit back and he threatened to sue me if I canceled the check. Unbelievable. Do not use this attorney for any legal work. If you do, you will be sorry.
