Ann Hess was extremely confused and disorganized leaving me feeling very uncomfortable. I ended up being in her office for over 3 hours due to her confusion. I called the next day asking her to stop working on my case and I was consulting another lawyer. Ann Hess never had my legal documents and never legally represented me. October 2018 I recieved what was left of my retainer $1670.00. Again Ann Hess never legally represented me.

Was referred to Mr. Privateer by a close friend who is an Attorney. 13 months later my situation…read morewhich wasn't extraordinarily difficult is still open without closure and I am left with what might be considered a huge potential liability. I took the referral thinking that things would be fine but that isn't the case. As of today my phone calls to him asking him to return my call go on without any action. I would think that returning telephones calls would be common courtesy. So it is merely my thought and opinion after meeting with him and providing documentation regarding the matter. A potential client can evaluate the situation on their own merits but I feel a client attorney relationship should be more helpful and professional.

VERY VERY VERY BAD. NELSON ZAKIA AND HOGAN WILLIG Less than…read moreZERO STARS. This is by far the worst law firm EVER. I hired an attorney there to handle my divorce and he had my case for over TWO YEARS and never accomplished one thing on my behalf, however, he DID succeed in billing for fees OVER 30 THOUSAND DOLLARS. He never got temporary maintenance, spousal support, didn't succeed in getting me divorced, and now I supposedly owe the firm all this money!!! This very same lawyer, also did similar to a friend of mine. She got divorced, but lost her business, her house and now owes the firm 50,000.00. Another friend lost her house as well. The lawyer is Nelson Zakia. DO NOT USE HIM. Another unsavory aspect of this whole ordeal is that he would YELL at me in meetings. I'm sure that wouldn't happen if I were a man.
