My wife and I dropped into Summers, et al yesterday because we needed two wills to be witnessed and…read morenotarized. It was mid-day, but I hoped a simple task like this would be easily accomplished. My father was a friend of Frank Summers long ago, and I knew Dick McPherson and Vick Santos, both retired. How hard could it be? Hard. Only secretaries were about, not enough for our needs. We were assured that if they could do it, they'd call us that afternoon, either way. They took our numbers. 24 hours later, we're still waiting...... Hard to find people who do what they say these days.

Tom McPherson was the buyer's real estate lawyer for our home sale on February 10, 2017. We, the…read moresellers, did not attend the Friday closing because we were moving to NC but Tom McPherson knew that we had requested a wire transfer of the proceeds to go to our bank at the closing. He did not check with his bank in advance and therefore made the closing appointment on the very hour (2pm) that wire transfers were cutoff for the weekend. After not receiving our wire transfer hours after the closing, I phoned Mr. McPherson that evening and asked what had happened. He blamed the mistake on the bank. He refused to accept responsibility for his mistake. He refused to say he was sorry. And he had not even tried to call us to admit that although the buyers had our house, we did not have payment for it. So on Monday I called to speak to the head of the firm and the office manager, Sheila, told me that she is the one to speak to about all issues. I told her what happened and that I wanted the head of the firm to know about this and she said someone would call me back to apologize and of course no one did.

The scenario is almost identical to Alexander's post. I hired Preston Hicks for $1000.00 retainer,…read moreand I too suffered the pangs of non-itemized billing. I was in a child custody battle with child support. He literally filed suit against me to recover his fee, which by the end of the case was nearly $3000.00. I was put in jail until I could pay the fee. Worst of all when we did have the hearing I did all the talking. He never opened his mouth. Indeed he passed the Bar exam, but he is not a lawyer advocating for his client. He is about the almighty dollar. How does a lawyer suit the very client that hired him? A measly $300.00 owed. I learned later, that he files lawsuits frequently to recoup what other his clients owe him. To date, I found 23 lawsuits. CAUTION: There are many lawyers that are far more empathic. DO YOUR RESEARCH.

Do not hire this lawyer. I gave him a $1000 retainer fee. The last time I met with him I thought I…read morewas working under the same retainer fee. At the end of the meeting he said "I need a retainer fee of $2000". I told him I couldn't afford that and that we'd have to part ways. I then received a bill for $500 for firing him. He literally charged me 25% of what it would have cost me to hire in order to fire him. That's like going to a car dealership looking at a $20,000 car and then having the dealership charge you $5,000 because you couldn't buy it. And then he issued a summons for me to appear in court because I couldn't afford his firing fee. He will arbitrarily change his fees and give you bills with no description whatsoever. This lawyer is a sham and you will regret it if you hire him.
