Lack of responsiveness and communication with clients
“The lawyer could care less about cases and clients he will tell you about how much he plans to help you before you hire him, then once you hire him he takes you to someone else and tells you they will be helping you from now on, anything you need speak to my daughter - I.e don't call me.”
