Mr. Andre Warthon is a great attorney. I would recommend his services if he had a separate practice from attorney Ruby Warthon. I have never encountered such rudeness and demeaning treatment in all my life. I had a conversation with Mrs. Ruby Warthon who immediately initiated the conversation with pure rudeness, repeatedly over voiced me. It was so intolerable that I reframed from continuing the call. I asked her if I needed to send the law firm a 1099-NEC for attorney service. She replied with insult, stating that I will not get a deduction for the expense; furthermore, I am not to send them anything for a service. I was informed by my accountant who stated to send the law firm a 1099-NEC if the expense was over $600 dollars. I paid the law firm well over $600 and yet Mrs. Warthon advises otherwise. Mrs. Warthon states that she is not an accountant yet she advised me not send the law firm a form in which the IRS authorizes. Her rudeness has a negative impact on the law firm.
On Thursday, May 04, 2023, I called to inquire about how to open an estate through probate court since the passing of my brother. Ms Lori Franklin called and immediately told me that she was straight-forward during her demeaning conversation. Her bedside manner is horrendous. She insulted my intelligence, was talking non-stop, and made too many assumptions.This woman was the rudest attorney I have ever encountered on a first-time basis. When I corrected her on a matter, she quickly chirped that her assistant takes good notes and she had all the information needed to respond to me, then told me to contact her when the decision was made to hire legal counsel. As she was talking to me, I knew that I would rather pay an attorney a consultation fee than have a free one with her. Do attorneys forgot to be personable, empathetic and/or considerate at all, especially when someone is grieving.
Mrs. Ruby Wharton is the rudest individual I’ve encountered. I contacted the office about wether or not I am needing to supply them with a 1099 being that I have payed for a service. She interjected with attitude and was very demeaning. It is quite awful to experience such distasteful behavior. She has no professional knowledge of accountancy and yet advised me that I am not to send them a 1099-NEC; however, my accountant stated that any amount paid to an attorney greater than $600 is to be reported. She further advised that I am not to report the expense as their is no deduction. She then stated that she is not an accountant; however, she advises as such. I paid well over $600 for a service, this is indeed income for the law firm; however, Mrs. Ruby states that this is not considered income. The IRS would state differently. I will send a 1099-NEC as I am directed by my accountant. Perhaps the law firm should con
