Attorney Ian Heyman is obsessed with something that he calls the smell test, and one of his frequent expressions is that, "If it does not smell right, it is probably not right.". Ian Heyman, however, does not pass the smell test. I am involved in a very messy trust situation, and I reached out to several law firms to try to find an attorney who could help me with my legal issues. One of my inquiries was answered by an email from Ian Heyman, and several days later we had a lengthy consultation over the telephone. Ian Heyman continuously bragged about his "expertise" in the area of trusts, probate, etc....., and from his self - proclaimed "expertise" in these areas I thought that he could be the attorney who could get the job that I needed done. He assured me that he would be able to resolve everything for me, that I would get justice, that I would finally get the peace of mind that I wanted, etc....., so, we made an appointment for an in - person meeting the following week to discuss my case in greater detail. Ian Heyman's law firm is approximately six hours round trip from my house, so, I cleared my schedule for the day that we were scheduled to meet. The day before our scheduled appointment, I sent emails, and I left voice mails, requesting that he confirm our appointment. I also wanted him to confirm that he had received the large number of files that I had emailed to him (at his request) three days prior, that I had requested confirmation for on the day that I had emailed them, but, did not get. My emails / voice mails were ignored until I eventually sent Ian Heyman an email that night to let him know that I would not make the very long drive to / from his law office the next day without confirmation of our appointment. Finally, I received an email back, and along with his bogus excuses for ignoring me, Ian Heyman told me that he remains committed to me, that he will do everything in his power to help me hold my lawyer - brother accountable for what he has done, and that I have him on my team if I still want him, which he hopes that I do. Still no confirmation that he had received the emails containing my files that I had sent to him three days prior, however. The next day, which was the day of our appointment, I received an email from Ian Heyman early in the morning telling me to drive safely, and to telephone his office if I could not find the parking area next to his law firm's building. Then, less than two hours later, I received a telephone call from Ian Heyman giving me bogus excuses to cancel our appointment, and giving me even more bogus excuses to weasel out of taking my case. All that Ian Heyman did was play games, and waste my time. Avoid this attorney..... He certainly does not pass the smell test.
