Hired Attorney Robert Sweetapple

My husband and I hired attorney Robert Sweetapple, and Douglas Crane Broeker of Sweetapple Broeker & Varkas to handle a post-trial civil case for us arising out of a failed business transaction. Dates: November 18, 2021 to January 31, 2024. Robert Sweetapple and Douglas Crane Broeker failed to comply with court ordered deadlines. They missed all key dates for hearings, meetings and pleadings. They either ignored the motions altogether or filed our responses extremely late that could have advanced our cause and only when they were ordered and threatened by the Court to reply. Sweetapple Broeker & Varkas legal invoices were excessive and over the top. We were quoted by Robert Sweetapple approximately $40,000 for our case however his firm billed us over $250,000 in bogus legal fees within 9 months. We lost the case and ended up with a $2.5 Million Dollar judgment when Sweetapple made us believe we would win. I DO NOT RECOMMEND SWEETAPPLE BROEKER & VARKAS. THEY’RE CROOKS.

Hired Attorney Douglas Broeker

ROBERT A. SWEETAPPLE, DOUGLAS CRANE BROEKER ARE TWO DISHONEST, CROOKED, CORRUPTED, UNTRUSTWORTHY AND UNSCRUPULOUS ATTORNEYS. BE AWARE. THEY LIED TO US. THEY BREACHED OUR TRUST. THEY COLLECTED $110,000 FROM US IN LEGAL FEES WITHOUT DOING THE JOB THEY WERE HIRED TO DO. THEY WERE GROSSLY AND INTENTIONALLY NEGLIGENT IN HANDLING OUR CASE. THEY OWED US A DUTY OF CARE ARISING FROM THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP, THEY FAILED THAT DUTY. THEY NOT ONLY BREACHED OUR AGREEMENT BUT THEY FAILED TO REPRESENT US WITH DUE CARE. Broeker and Sweetapple were hired by my husband and me to specifically handle the post-trial procedures on a case brought against us by a con artist named Ravi Kadiyala from Illinois who had stolen $1.1 Million Dollars from my husband’s bank account SWEETAPPLE SABOTAGED AND INTENTIONALLY NEGLECTED our case to a loss. We lost the chance for a retrial and appeal and we ended up with a $2.5 M Judgment. STAY AWAY FROM THIS FIRM. THEY ARE CROOKS.
