The degree to which Mr. Jeffrey Jinks mishandled my case was just astonishing. He filed a suit on my behalf despite my concerns that the issue had not been investigated. As a result of his rush decision because he did not confirm we had grounds for the suit, I, the plaintiff, ended up paying the respondents' legal fees. That's how "well" he represented me. Just let it sink for a second: I hired an expensive attorney who filed a suit on my behalf so I would end up paying even more money. My own attorney caused me damages. How funny is that?! I expressed my concerns several times that the issue should be investigated, but Mr. Jinks dismissed it every single time. Eventually I gave in as I trusted his experience and expertise. I guess I shouldn't have. I was not expecting such representation from an attorney who "has been practicing for over 20 years" as Mr. Jinks likes telling about himself. Honestly, a third-year law school student would have done a better job.
Mr. Jinks pretends as if it was my choice to pay the respondents' legal fees because he presented me with several "options". But Mr. Jinks knows that none of these "options" was really an option. They included a suggestion to continue pursuing the case while he admitted we didn't have grounds or for me to hire a new attorney. Yes, after wasting money on him, Mr. Jinks offered me to spend even more money to clean up the mess he created.
We all make mistakes. That's a thing we all have in common. What makes us different is what we do about our mistakes and whether we make them right. Mr. Jinks failed there, too. Not only he did not admit his mistake, he stated "he feels great" about how he handled the case. But as it turned out, the case mishandling was not the only mistake Mr. Jinks made. While preparing documents, Mr. Jinks used a wrong name, a cherry on top of the mess he created. Truly, a very disappointing experience.
