Hired Law Firm

My experience with this firm caused significant harm to both my case and my health. I was not informed of material issues that affected my representation, unauthorized individuals were involved despite prior agreements, and critical deadlines and discovery obligations were mishandled or ignored. Their lack of communication and follow-through stalled my case, increased my stress, and undermined progress during a vulnerable time. The firm withdrew only after substantial damage was done, forcing me to proceed pro se to repair their mistakes. I have since filed formal grievances. After comparing my experience with publicly available reviews, it’s clear these problems are not isolated but part of a broader pattern of poor client treatment and lack of accountability. Clients seeking competent, ethical, and reliable representation should be extremely cautious.

Hired Attorney Robert Palmer

He failed to meet basic standards of legal representation. I retained him for a federal employment case and experienced serious communication failures, undisclosed conflicts of interest, and conduct that undermined my legal position. He and the co-counsel involved third parties without consent, violated client agreements, and ultimately withdrew, leaving me to handle the case alone while dealing with increased emotional and physical health complications. I’ve filed formal grievances and am seeking legal accountability. The record of poor client experience is not unique to me; it is well documented in other reviews, particularly among clients from non-European backgrounds. Extreme caution is advised.
