Failed to communicate any updates or information about my case for months. Did not file necessary paperwork and evidence. Lost my case due to his negligence and failure to properly represent me. Started out great & stopped meeting his responsibilities as my attorney last year. No notice, no information, just silence and no response to my multiple phone calls, emails, and messages.

Though I called Brian Ramsey several times to ensure he would submit my remand to the review board on time, he failed to do so and he only answered my call after the case was thrown because he failed to file the paperwork by the due date. Even after he received the response he wouldn't let me know until several weeks later, and that was only because I kept on calling him. I was doing just fine until I hired Ramsey.

The worst Attorney I have ever used. I am being billed frivolous charges and not even receiving return phone calls from Dean or his assistants.
After sitting down with Jackie his assistant last week, at her suggestion, due to his continued absence. I was told I needed to wait 4 business days to get a follow-up on the letter on both cases, motions and further counsel...when I called yesterday Sept. 14th back to back, I was hung up on!? What's worse is Jackie his assistant talked to my ex-wife and whatever she said to her was a disadvantage to me because right after that phone call, My ex-wife claimed she didnt agree with the Stipulated Order and decided to jump ship and get an attorney...and Dean DIDNT CHALLENGE THAT EITHER!
This is ridiculous and I want a full refund for every dime that My girlfriend and I have given to Dean. He never did anything. He has taken over $3000 from my gf and I and he hasn't filed anything. He was late to every appearance. He has not represented or defended me at all in either of these custody cases. Dean Kajioka is the worst Attorney I have ever seen and I will be filing with the state board so no one else can be a victim to his Bullying antics. May God Forgive him for his evil actions.

I am so glad I hired Dean Kajioka! I had a Civil case that had Criminal implications, Dean and his team went right to work for me and worked hard through the entire process. Great Service, Great Communication, excellent follow up and follow through. Highly recommend him and his firm. Whether Civil or Criminal, a great choice.

Retained attorney Dean Kajioka for a civil matter.
Dean Kajioka filed a lawsuit on my behalf and that was it.
A year later I receive a call from a different attorney saying she worked with Dean Kajioka and was handling the matter. Three months later after many attempts of trying to reach Dean Kajioka a different attorney calls me saying he works with Dean Kajioka and he now is handling my case.It has turned into nothing but a nightmare for me, I am in the process of filing a complaint with the State Bar of Nevada. Please be aware of this attorney

Mr. Judd did not show to my pre-trial hearing. Stated he didn't have it on calendar.!? I requested my discovery for 6 weeks. After several calls, messages and persistance- he emailed it. . I also requested the 911 call, body cam footage and call history for the address in question. He was unable to obtain or provide that. Any of which would support my innocence. He was less than forthcoming and showed NO INTEREST OR INTENTION of providing adequate defense services. Mr. Judd did not provide services he had already been contracted and paid to do.
I would not recommend this attorney.

He was flexible, pleasant, smart and even went the extra mile for me. I arrested on an unrelated charge (jaywalking-you heard correctly Jaywalking) and they wouldn't release me because of the pending unrelated case. He sent a friend of his who happened to be at court that day to make sure I was released. I ended up resolving my Felony DUI case exactly the way he indicated I would, successfully and with a gross misdemeanor instead of a felony. Thank God.

My case was assigned to him when his partner Kalani Hoo became judge. I gave them almost $8,000 dollars with the promise my charges would all be dropped to misdemeanors . Everything changed once he started handling my case. No way to get in to speak with him then when I finally did he didn't even know my case. I knew it was a bad sign. Thanks to Scott P. Eichorn i am now a felon. First offense nothing other than traffic tickets when I was a teenager . Trust these reviews and don't do it!

Not knowing any better I retained this attorney only to have him miss court hearings (which made the judge angry at me), fail to explain what my choices could do/be and fail to file importance documents with the court. I never felt like he believed in me. I have him so much information to challenge my accusers and he didn't use any of it when questioning them in court. He was very hard to contact in that he was slow to return messages/emails - if at all. He's like those attorneys on TV advertising a quick settlement (that helps them not you) and then he dumps you to fend for yourself.

Ben is the bigest loser and money sucker. I have hired him and spent more than $100,000 for two cases. In both cases I was scamed by defendents and shall won both cases easly after talking to other law offices and they told me. But in realty, Ben Childs lose both cases even without fair trials. What a big mistake to hire Ben Childs!!!

Ben Child’s should be disbarred. He stole from me. A single mother. Took my money and quit the first day of court so he would not have to pay me back legally. He took advantage of a woman already being abused by a drug addict, alcoholic abuser trying to get custody of our son, after abandoning him for seven years, never paying child support and abusing me, raping me. He embarrassed me in family court. And stole my money because he didn’t do anything. Filed one motion for $2500. Thief.

Benjamin B Childs handled the annulment for myself and my former wife. His instructions were clear and informative thereby dealing with the matter in a concise and uncomplicated manner. He dealt with the matter within our budget in a professional manner and speedily dissolved the union within a 6 week period. Would I hire him again -- definitely.

An absolute waste of time and money.
The attorney Robert Sparks was a joke, one of those that seem to favor the opposition in all steps of the process.
Why are we paying you to hear your accolades of the other party?
No backbone, sloppy and careless, eeks out the bare minimum and below, and may God assist you if you seek an itemized invoice from this firm.
Partial refunds of retainers for work NOT DONE are a phantom concept, and upon termination of their subpar services, you are persona non grata.
He talks an artificially enthusiastic game on initial consult, and after retained, becomes apathetically incompetent.
Luckily we found much better counsel shortly afterward.
This firm and R. Sparks in particular should be avoided at the cost of your funds and blood pressure.
So many law firms that are decent in Vegas, this definitely isn't one of them.

In our case he never contacted the dr.'s and hospital that treated my wife at the time of the accident although he repeatedly promised to do so and LATER CLAIMED HE HAD done so. This negligence resulted in numerous liens and judgements appearing on our credit report that would not have been initiated had normal procedures been followed as promised and ok'd by us which was to give these suppliers a lien on the future settlement. Every one of the suppliers said they normally accept these arrangements and wait to be paid from settlement funds. Ask to see a record of how many cases he has actually taken to trial. No lawyer wants to end up in trial TOO OFTEN but NEVER ?Cold and uncaring . .

This lawyer should be held accountable for the frivolous lawsuit she filed against the Biden electors as individuals resulting in emotional and financial hardships for these DULY ELECTED electoral college representatives of President-elect Joe Biden.

Throwing out frivolous, baseless accusations involving “voter fraud” and “irregularities” in the 2020 Presidential Election. She is trying to sue Nevada’s faithless elector’s, and trying to appointing a different set of electors for Trump (he was beaten BADLY by President Elect Biden in Nevada and across the United States). She also provides ZERO proof—heresay within heresay, and should be disbarred for undermining faith in our democratic institutions. What a disgraceful person.

I was referred to Mr. Jackson's firm from an acquaintance. I was passed around to 3 different attorneys in the same firm over a year and I was never told why. My guess would be they weren't going to make a lot of money and they didn't want to invest any time in the case. You could see that from their work, or lack thereof. Perhaps that's why I rarely heard from them and it was only after numerous calls and emails that they ever returned a call. I was never copied on correspondence and pleadings even though I requested that repeatedly after they sent out documents and pleadings that were riddled with errors and even had the wrong date for the Date of Loss. This was a simple BI claim. I was a passenger in a auto accident where liability was never disputed or denied. I was injured and I had the right to recover. As it turned out, I ended up with what I was initially offered by the insurance company, so I would have done better on my own, quite frankly.. All this firm did was drive up my out of pocket costs and yes there were costs to me... even on a Personal Injury case, In my experience, the folks at this law firm were untruthful, and did next to nothing on my case. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT HIRE THEM!

This attorney represented my claim
with zero respect for my injuries or future welfare. For one settled case, he withheld my money for a year. For my second case, there was little to no prep for a hostile defense attorney except “Say you don’t remember.”. Well, I didn’t remember because it was 7 years from the accident to the totally unnecessary trial. Correct- 7 years. For a rear ender where the opposing client was clearly & admittedly at fault. This trial & 7 year ordeal corrupted a significant part of my and my family’s life.

In the Matter of DISCIPLINE OF Bruce I. FLAMMEY, Esq., Bar No. 8066.
David A. Clark, Bar Counsel State Bar of Nevada/Las Vegas Bruce I. Flammey
David A. Clark, Bar Counsel
State Bar of Nevada/Las Vegas
Bruce I. Flammey
ORDER DECLINING TO IMPOSE TEMPORARY SUSPENSION
This is a petition by bar counsel pursuant to SCR 111(4) concerning attorney Bruce I. Flammey, based on Flammey's conviction in Las Vegas Township Justice Court, pursuant to a nolo contendere plea, of first-offense driving under the influence. See SCR 111(2). Because Flammey's conviction is not one of those specifically discussed in SCR 111(6)-(8) as a “serious” crime requiring suspension and automatic referral to the disciplinary board, temporary suspension and referral to the disciplinary board are discretionary with this court. SCR 111(9).The gravity of drinking and driving cannot be minimized; however, first-offense misdemeanor driving under the influence is not the type of offense for which professional discipline is typically imposed. See 2 Geoffrey C. Hazard, Jr., W. William Hodes & Peter R. Jarvis, The Law of Lawyering § 65.4 (3d ed.2012); In the Matter of Respondent I, 2 Cal. State Bar Ct. Rptr. 260, 266 n. 6, 272 (Rev.Dept.1993).

At first I was impressed with mr flamney He talked a very good game told me all of the things they HOA did wrong in my case but when mediation came.I felt he didn’t stand up for me and didn’t challenge them when they answered his questions which we both knew were not accurate. We reached an agreement that I wasn’t comfortable with. And when I changed my mind he sent me a refund for my retainer and wouldn’t answer my emails or phone calls. I feel he didn’t serve my best interest. I wouldn’t hire this guy. Find somebody else.

I had this attorney represent me in Family Court for more than a year. She was always difficult to reach. She kept the facts of the case to herself and barely ever spoke to me about it's progress. She rarely followed any of the information I gave her regarding my an my daughter's defense. After I told her about a pending meeting I needed her to attend with me that could compromise the case, she advised me to go alone, and my standing in the case was in fact further compromised. When I confronted her about the advice she gave me, she quit and left me to fend for myself.

Some time after representing me in obtaining custody of my daughter he accepted another family member of mine with the intent of fighting me for the same custody I fought for.
This is a direct conflict of interest and even the judge called him out on it. He intentionally referred my blood relative to hire one of Geralds lawyer friends who had a prior incident with the judge causing there to be a different judge being appointed.
This threw back the case to be seen at a later date. By doing this atrocity he prolonged the case well past what I could afford to pay my attorney. I was left facing the hardest challenge of my life alone without any representative aiding my case.
If it had not been for this disgusting man pulling dirty and unlawful tricks I would have had my daughter and given her the life she deserved.
It's no wonder his own daughter hates him, and rightfully so.
This man is a deplorable, dishonest and shameful crook.
Do yourself a favor and NEVER give him half a thought, find a real lawyer that will help you when you need it most, for this person would go to no ends for his own well being, never for anyone elses.

Pete Jr. Was brought on by another attorney for reasons unbeknownst to me. When my case went to trial, Pete said both in person and in writing that I would receive a settlement to the time of 250k take home. I was then instructed not to go to court the following day. After months of delay, Pete calls me to tell me that the doctors are not reducing the fees, and instead of getting a $250k settlement, I would now be only getting a $80k. If it weren’t for having the $250k figure in text, I would have been left out to dry. After refusing to take $80k and showing him the text of his original promise, the “miraculously” were able to come up with another 100k in which I took home $189k. The difference of $60k is huge. Not only that, Pete began threatening when I refused to take the $189k saying that if I didn’t take it, I wouldn’t get anything. My attorneys took home roughly $400,000 compared to the $189,000 after all I went through. This is on top of the fact that upon retaining my attorneys, they promised “in no circumstance would they take home more money than me.” I didn’t think anything like this was even possible. I advise anyone seeking counsel from Pete jr. to be very aware and get everything in writing. I deeply regret having got this attorney involved and have since filed both a few dispute and bar complaint.

Let me preface by saying that Pete junior was referred to me by a top litigator and I was told he's an exceptional criminal defense attorney. After my experience, I went back to the referral source to voice my experience and I was told that mine was not unique. The source told me that he no longer would be referring further clients to Pete junior.
I hired Pete at a sizable 5-figure amount for a federal case. The persons involved in the hiring for my benefit had no problem getting in contact with Pete, as they were holding back retainer fee until they felt comfortable that he would give me and my case the attention deserved by such an extraordinary fee that he demanded. My friends and family questioned Pete at length and they felt assured that Pete would give me superior representation. We're all now incredulous at not only the misrepresentation I received, but the refusal by Pete junior and the office to take any action to do the right thing after the fact.
The first issue lay in the initial hearing:
1. Pete didn't show up personally, but an esquire was sent. Not generally an issue, but...
2. the esquire wasn't briefed on the specifics and was not prepared for the government's position. This would have taken a moment's cursory discussion with the prosecution or a prior discussion with me beforehand. She never spoke to me until I entered the courtroom in custody. The esquire looked like a deer in headlights. That was the first red flag.
3. All of the legwork done in my initial arguments for my release were done by my friends and family, not by any attorney in this office. When a friend called to report where to gain documents, they asked him to make the calls to get these documents. If I didn't have this friend to do that work, it never would have gotten done. I'm supremely confident in that.
The problems grew quickly from that point. What I was asking for wasn't extraordinary, simply basic communication. The esquire told me and my family repeatedly that she would visit me in custody to discuss the specifics of my case. This never happened.
So my family had to pay for and set up an account with Pete's office just so I could call the office. And even then, I never was able to speak to Pete. My family asked several times for someone to visit and discuss my case. Finally, after a month in custody, an investigator was sent to speak to me. The investigator was competent and as helpful as an investigator could be. But when it came to the legal questions that I had, his answers were, "Again, I'm not an attorney. That's not a question for me."
I probably don't have to explain why that's a frustrating answer to hear. After a month, I still hadn't spoken to any attorney in the office aside from the 10 minutes I'd spent in court with the esquire. I couldn't get any answers that I was looking for and the communication was nil. My family hired a different attorney for 20% the amount paid to Pete Christiansen jr. This attorney didn't have Pete’s smooth-talk down but he got me results. As busy as this new attorney was, I was able to easily get him on the phone, he answered every question I had, he told me the good and the bad and kept me abreast of every developing situation in my case. Contrary to claims by Pete's office that he's the best, this new attorney did everything that Pete's office didn't.
I felt I could receive the balance back from my retainer, seeing as how Pete was hired on an hourly basis as my attorney of record.
8 months after I hired Pete, the first time I actually spoke to him, and after several months of hounding the office for return of the balance of my retainer, he told me that I won't be seeing any of my retainer back and he's entitled to keep the full amount regardless of how many hours he worked on my case, which was little to none. He claimed it was a flat fee for only my detention hearing, to which he's provided no proof of in any communications.

In 2 cases this atty represented me on he withdrew just weeks before trial. I was a new single mother at the time and the victim of multiple accidents causing me to have have surgeries. Looking back at the record, it's apparent Cap had no trial experience and bluffed his way through the legal motions until a trial was ordered, then withdrew, without notice, leaving me hanging with medical bills and no legal recourse. I'm just VERY sorry I never filed a complaint with the State Bar.

When I would try to talk to her about his case, she berated me by saying that I don't understand the process, without explaining the process. After a year and a half, she produced no results. We parted ways and she promised to send the file full of things she had done for him. However, she can't produce a file. HARD PASS

This man has a problem with women especially black women. He really has something against women of color. This man is not invested in you seeking the justice you deserve & his sexual urges is more important than being a dignified law professional. Every lawyer may represent guilty people yet this man here has a special interest in humiliating women in and out of the court room if he feels rejected. I hope this creates space for other women to report any further misconduct and get men like this out of law in Las Vegas because it’s time for us to stand up to our oppressors like him.

When I hired Mr. Beller, we were told that with his many years in the community and his reputation he would fight for me. My case is still going on to this day, when in reality it never should have happened. My ex. wife Breached the Contract of Divorce, and has hired numerous attorneys with no intentions of paying them. The ex. is currently in BK. and Mr. Beller told me before our last District court hearing, "You need to find other council, as we cannot agree on how to proceed in your case". He dropped the ball and I have had to hire two new attorneys, to clean up, what Mr. Beller did not do, to represent me, as his client. Mr. Beller went to court at one time for me, and never spoke up, when the Judge specifically asked him about a piece of Evidence. Mr Bellers answer was, "I didn't want to make the opposing council look bad, after all, he had just lied to the judge". Mr Beller was not a good family Law attorney for me, and I was not looking for a real estate attorney... at the time. My legal case involved Pension and if I had to do it over again, I would hire an attorney who has had many years of family law and pension disbursement, experience.

Ms. Krohn seems to lack integrity. She represneted my uncle in a probate matter in which I received interest in my deceased aunt's property along with my uncle. She filed documents on our behalf, mispelled my name and refused to pay to have it amended, claiming that it was my fault for not recognizing it. Didnt even offer to pay half.
I will have to get it amended to record my property interest and also travel from California to Nevada to do so. Very unfortunate.

I contacted James Kohl in late January for a 144 legal opinion, as he was the new attorney for the public company. After supplying all of the supporting documents, I continued to follow up on progress and received roughly 1 email per week that he was busy, out of the office or working on it. On March 5th, I had to cancel the request due to no replies.
