Cons

Inconsistent in responsiveness and attention to detail
“The inconsistency is true. He will take your money and pretend that he is doing work that you could've done yourself.”

Perceived to be more concerned with the opposing party's interests than the client's
“It was Mr. Carlton who asked the HOA President about HIS two incorrect causes of action, which then opened the door to opposing counsel accusing me of lying in my papers at my own deposition.”

Lack of preparation and communication for client depositions and court proceedings

Unwilling to take on clients with financial constraints
“As soon as I mentioned that I may not be able to engage his services immediately due to financial constraints, he said, 'good luck' and hung up in my face.”

Inconsistent quality of legal services, with some clients reporting very poor experiences
“Hands down the worst experience I have ever had. Cannot stress enough, THE WORST. Incompetent, detached, incommunicative, inexperienced... hiring him did more harm than good.”
