Brian Jackson agreed to file small claims suit in October 2023, then again in January 2024 he recommended another demand letter. we agreed to file if letter didn't work. The demand letter, like most, didn't work, which he knew they would not negotiate & told me so, then why did he recommend to send another letter ($675 first letter+ $1000 second call/letter cost)? Doesn't make sense. in February I emailed reminding Brian to file suit immediately since there was no response but he didn't reply so I reached out again & he agreed. I was billed for both of the email and calls to remind him to file suit ($570), he said when he comes back from vacation in march he will file. I called again March 29th asking why he hasn't filed and same story--I will this week. He still has NOT filed and billed me for that reminder/checkin call $150 instead of apologizing and immediately filing suit. His focus was to bill me for calling to ask why he still didn't do what he promised he would do. It's April 2nd now and Brian Jackson still hadn't filed for a lawsuit he said he is filing in February in small claims but I'm still hoping he gets to my simple small claims lawsuit this week. I did pay several invoices for calls/email reminding him to file lawsuit (I don't feel that's ethical or I should pay for calls to tell him what I've already said). If Brian can't remember and I'm helping him remember to do his job on calls & email, as his paralegal, why are they billing me to help him remember? This isn't a service for me. My attorney best friend is baffled by Brian's billing vs. performance practice. I'm basically the paralegal for myself and Brian since Brian doesn't have a paralegal --and when you call to ask a question instead of getting an answer you get a bill. Close to 3k billed and he didn't file suit for us. Instead after he drained us of cash, he emailed me to tell me file myself after collecting his money for "poor consultation"because he says things like "I don't know how small claims works". Refund my "consultation", money, emails/calls and my time if you don't know or are not filing. Why lie to me for 7 months knowing what I've been through? Who continues to send bills for a lawsuit that doesn't exist? Who agrees to file a lawsuit and doesn't? this has been traumatic from marketing scam and now traumatic by this attorney experience of 7 months. My attorney friends are confused by Brian's lack of progress and billing focus. I've only been involved with one other lawsuit and that attorney was brilliant. He told me demand letters do nothing. Save your money and Let's file suit and immediately we got response and settled in 60 days. This experience has been completely different.
