I sent a detailed correspondence to Mr. Bathgate in anticipation of our phone conference. I touched on numerous issues and provided him with my thoughts on them, and expected he would be prepared. He was not. He either 1) did not read my letter, or 2) there is no 'or'. No attorney could possibly be that incompetent. I had made several points and he stumbled over each one as if I hadn't ever brought those subject up. I called him on it, and he insisted he had read it. But then his ignorance continued with other matters I had raised. When I called him out on it again, he hung up on me rather than admit his error. If an attorney can't be bothered to at least read the concerns his client wants to discuss at conference, what else is he not bothering to do? I'd have understood if he had just admitted he ran out of time before our conference, and asked for 5 minutes to review what I had sent. But Mr. Bathgate did not provide that minimum standard of professionalism to me. I do not recommend hiring Mr. Bathgate.
