发帖数: 298 | 1 I have some experience with a American Lawyer. His working style and
communication way just drive me crazy.
He is a son of two laywer and works in his parents law firm. I thought he
was supposed to be very good.
In the beginning, I sent email to him or call him and get no response. Then
he used some excuses like his wife get sicks so he needs to take care of his
twins. Firstly I believe what he said. Then I realized this is just his
working style. Sometimes he email me to call in. But once I call in, his
secretary told me he is in a meeting and told me he will call me back. But
he never called me back. So I ended up with calling him again. My case is
flat fee agreement. I guess that is why he never need to worry about not
picking up my call since he was not paid by the time. Eventually I have to
call him firstly, if my call does not get through then send him email then I
can get his reply finally in the email.
That was my very first time to hire a lawyer. Is all the lawyer working like
this? Anyone had similar experience?
My case is not over yet. Should I continue to hire him? The good thing is I don't need to pay him since the issue has not been resolved. The bad thing is I felt I may not stand it any more. I prefer to do myself and only ask him for his legal advice. However every time I sent him an email for advice, he alway email back with one short sentence which indicate me to call him or meet him, something like " I am looking forward to speaking to you soon" No direct answer to any question I put in email.
I am not sure if this is the style of American Lawyer. Does anyone have any experience to share with me? Thanks a lot! | c**d
