Review of Law Office of A. James Mullane...

You quoted John on two different types of divorce,...

You quoted John on two different types of divorce, uncontested and contested. Because of your explicit procrastination and lack of communication, and a total disregard for your clients well being, he had to shift to contested.

At which point you charged him the full amount for contested, on top of the price he had already paid to you in full for uncontested. Even though you had made no progress on the uncontested for which you were first paid.

You had no one at the office to take calls, disappeared weeks at a time with little to no response to your client. He even made efforts to come by the office during business hours, leaving work early to do so. At which points you had no one there to help him. he has had to shove paper work under your door, only to find out that days and weeks later you still haven't been in to collect it , much less process it. When he did manage to reach you, you were short, distant and rude. You could have helped prevent the financial devastation your ex-client now faces, but you were to busy being out of town and out of touch.

The little paper work you did manage to do looked to be copy and pasted from the internet. It was generic at best. The fees you quoted John were to cover all expenses for the entirety of the divorce. There was no responsibility for $250.00 per hour mentioned that we can recall, and even if there had been you did nothing to reach even an hours worth.

There has not even been a mediation scheduled, the divorce is less than halfway complete, and the new lawyer has accomplished more in a few weeks than you have in the entirety of the time you were Johns lawyer.

Because of your lack of concern for your client he was forced to switch attorneys , which cost him an additional $5,000.00. Leaving his already limited budget in shambles.

I believe you took it personal and intend to make John pay for dropping you as his attorney, but honestly you were a terrible attorney, and he should not have to pay the price for your lack of priorities and irresponsibility.
