I hired James Toth Prior to my case he had not advised me in one direction or another He was so late for my hearing that I was called up and sat down twice. The judge was not happy. I served 4 days in jail Toth then sued me for $600 and took me to court an hour from my home knowing I had no car. I contacted the court letting them know I that couldn't make it as well as telling Mr. Toth. I truly tried to find a way but court was over an hour from where I lived They then issued a bench warrant. I was arrested. I paid what I owed and was released 7 hours later. He also blamed me because he got a speeding ticket on the way to my hearing for the probation violation. Which clearly was not my fault, I was not in control of his leg, nor was I in his vehicle. He was very liberal in regards to letting me know how much of a scum bag I was in his eyes. he sued me knowing I had no transportation to go to court, which is my fault I take full responsibility for not being able to make it. I have waited until all of my responsibilitys and debts to society we're paid before I left this review because I wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to let anger or my irresponsible manners dictate how I addressed this review. I have no open or pending cases or debts and I highly suggest that you do not hire James Toth or Great Lakes Legal Team. My case was - Possession of Marijuana under 3 grams He represented me for violation of probation brought on by being unable to urinate for a test one time more than half way through my probation sentence as a one time mishap.

I hired Ryan to represent me in my divorce, he never answered any phone calls, he charged me for services never received, his partner put a lien on my property for a bill I never even received in the mail.Then charged me to put the lien on, and to take it off, and to read it and send it to me in the mail. He doesnt know the first thing about working for you,my Ex made out better than I did. He told me I received a 10,000 divorce, for the work he did, but my W2's show differently. I would never recommend them to my worst enemy. Or the firm for that matter, they suck. Never pick a lawyer out of the phone book, that was my first mistake, the second was signing a lien form, that was suppose to be just for legal purpose's. They charged my title company for a fee that wasnt even billed yet, and made sure they spent every dime of it too. I paid way to much, for what I actually received from them, Very disappointed in the outcome.

When the bank locked me out of my foreclosed home prior to my redemption period ending he threatened lawsuit as they'd violated mich statute. Bank settled quickly as he was persistent and determined to collect. Won $5,000...always kept me informed on case progress and is dedicated and determined to serve clients.

DO NOT HIRE!! this is the biggest mistake you will ever make. he will not do anything for you. he pushed my court dates back then withdrew as my attourney. then sent me a bill for $1000 then a second for $1500 after he did nothing DO NOT HIRE! he will TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN!

I had a very simple case where someone owed me a refund of a deposit for a service not performed. He failed to recover my refund, ran up bogus legal fees and charged me for disputing his legal fees in small claims court. Save yourself a lot of unnecessary trouble and aggravation, stay away from this unscrupulous, incompetent, arrogant attorney.

Great Lakes legal Team P.L.C I hired James C. Toth to File chapter 13 Bankruptcy and His Team or lack there of Dident even show up for court on my frist hearing. Causing my Judge to make me come back again. This law firm is very unprofessional Filed Docs late causing to pay him more and more money every time He forgot to do somthing. He always blamed his staff and never once took responibality for his actions. After 4years of doing what his law firm told me to do at the end of this he forgot to to tell me to do my Second Debtor education call causing my case to close with out discharge even though i paid all my debt back on time. I then got a letter from him stateing he needed more money to reopen my case. I Then Let him know that i would no longer need his services and hired a lawyer that had great reviews. I also have contaced the Michigan state Bar and sent in all the mistakes his frim has done to my case. In any case Please read reviews like on this site before hiring a lawer if i would of read most of the post here i would not of hired him lesson learned.

This guy is the worst Lawyer I ever had. And I have had 5 in my life time for different representation. He will be the first I have ever he to dismiss from my case. He was right there in your face for his money, but lacked the ability to represent me correctly in court. Don't mind paying for services as long as the service was performed correctly. Which it was not.

James Toth told me I had a " good case " . He didn't lie. My case was good for him. He did everything in his power to encourage me to keep a losing case alive. I ended up spending 20k to collect 75 dollars. He misrepresented the States Laws and My ability to collect under them. He should be disbarred.
