We called the firm today, again, and finally got hold of a warm body who we clearly surprised with our existence. They found our dusty file on a dusty desk in a dark office down the hall and are trying to see what they can do for or about us.
Does a regular person have any recourse when they get screwed by lawyer incompetence?
The wife calls about every 10-14 days begging to speak with an attorney for status updates on her case. Since the beginning of the year, the law firm will no longer accept calls from her. Three weeks worth of voice mails have gone unanswered, and she hasn't spoken to a live body other than the receptionist/gate-keeper in well over a month. We have seen no further progress on the case (in fact, to our knowledge there has been no progress at all in 10 months now). The secretary will not connect my wife to either Darrin Burns (supposedly her lawyer taking care of the case) or his paralegal Drew Bishop for any reason.
Since this action was initiated last March, her estranged has transferred an outstanding debt of his to her under false pretenses, declared bankruptcy, had two bankruptcy hearings at which we had no representation and has fallen ridiculously behind on paying his child support. He did find the time to buy a new-to-him Ford F-150 XLT. :roll: Now GWB's gonna give him another $900 because he continues to claim one of his children on his tax returns. And this law firm's been sleeping through this for almost a year. Now we want to buy a house and are in a worse condition for lending than we would have been had we been able to handle it.
Would it be harassment on my part if I initiated a telephone call-in campaign from every able-bodied man, woman and child to call either Darrin or Drew and ask them why they've stolen our earnest money, failed to deliver a result (hell, any result) and won't take our calls? 770-956-1400. :evil: :evil:
[edit]I forgot to mention, the original woman lawyer who left us high and dry in the first place is Parri S. Abbott.[/edit]
