DO NOT USE THIS MAN FOR YOU LEGAL SERVICES.

In November 2021, my father engaged the services of the attorney in question while I was hospitalized due to injuries. Initially, we encountered difficulties in our communication, as he was not consistently in contact with me. In response to this issue, I inquired whether he was capable of representing me in my case, which, in my judgment, required a substantial amount of attention.
The attorney provided me with assurance that he possessed the necessary qualifications to handle my case. He advised us to delay the filing of my personal injury claim until the resolution of my workers' compensation case, so that we could ascertain the full extent of my injuries. It was only later, well over a year from the initial engagement, that I discovered he had sent correspondence to my father's prior address, unbeknownst to me at the time. This correspondence included my entire case file, comprising sensitive legal and medical information, and served as a notification that he could no longer represent me.
Fast forward to September 2023, I made attempts to contact the attorney via phone and email, informing him of the impending conclusion of my workers' compensation case. Subsequently, I called him again in October, as my case was nearing its closure. At this juncture, I was apprised of the distressing news that I was devoid of legal representation for my on-the-job accident, an incident that had gravely endangered my life. Furthermore, I was informed that I must file my claim by November 10th, as there exists a statute of limitations.
Since that time, I have encountered rejections from four different attorneys, primarily due to the stringent timeline and the complexity and severity of my case. Furthermore, the attorney in question has continued to correspond with me via email, referencing reviews posted by my family on the internet, and asserting that I still have the opportunity to secure legal representation.
At the onset of our professional relationship, the attorney had informed me that my case would likely result in a payout of approximately $30,000, and he outlined a customary fee structure where he would take one-third, workers' compensation would take one-third, leaving me with approximately $10,000.
I have formally sought the disbursement of the $10,000 sum that was initially pledged during the execution of our service contract. Regrettably, the party in question has declined to communicate their disposition regarding this payment. I felt compelled to express my reservations by communicating that unless they were willing to fulfill their obligation to provide legal representation or accept accountability for any legal malpractice, I would appreciate the cessation of email correspondence, as it is just making me upset.
Good luck to anyone who attempts uses this man for legal services. Currently I am filing grievance with the Texas Bar Association.
