Cons

Fails to keep clients informed and updated on the case progress
“Mr. Kontos did a horrible job of keeping me informed with ongoing communications from the opposing counsel.”
2
Lacks strategic and aggressive approach, prefers to play it safe
“He knows the law, but doesn't have (or chooses not to use) the sort of strategic or creative legal approaches that could improve a client's outcomes.”
3
Unprofessional and unresponsive when issues arise
“He hung up on me. I called back and he did not answer. I left a message with the staff and at this point I do not feel that he will be contacting me and is trying to wash himself of me.”
4
Sloppy and careless in handling important documents and court proceedings
“The numbers were changed by the commissioner. David and the opposing attorney scratched out the numbers and hand wrote in more. Those were scratched out and a new total number was written in for both kids.”
5
Overcharges clients and does not provide satisfactory services
“he over charged me!" and "he quadruple charged me for one court hearing, he charged me for sitting down and chatting with my ex & his attorney.”
