Business ProfileforGlantz & Glantz, P.A

To whom it may concern on or about July 15th 2023, I was referred by Legal Shield www.legalshield.com to Attorney *************************** (Bar#*******). We spoke about several options in our initial meeting and she decided that the best course as an attorney would be to create a mitigation package and submit it to the State attorney/ Court. She assured me that I will have the best outcome because she was a former State Attorney and that her former boss Loved Her. I paid the Attorney *************************** (Bar#*******) a total of $8,000 (Exhibit A) for Legal representation of a Plea Bargain before the court.There was no action on the case what so ever, we had a court date on the 25th of July where the Court set a new calendar call for November 3rd and a trial date for November the 13. (Exhibit B). She did not create any mitigation package rather had me request personal and character references which I did. Weeks passed by and there was no update of the case, and when I attempted to contact her on several occasions, it was always I will call you back or call me back tomorrow. The calendar of November 3rd 2023 came and she tried to get a continuance and the Judge rejected her request and literally threw the paper back at her. Days passed and there was no work being done in regards to the plea bargain or what she wanted me to do. Ultimately, the court date was coming up on November 13th and after promising to start on the Appeal and never starting it, why I know she never started any work on the appeal was that she requested that I copy and paste my testimony from the transcripts into an editable email so that she could just copy and paste my testimony from the prior court date for the appeal. That email until this day is still unread I got a text message from Attorney *************************** (Bar#*******) (Exhibit C) requesting me to come to her office and work on the appeal (Which she is not an appellate lawyer) which was very disheartening that ********* date was on Monday the 13th of November and on Wednesday, November the 8 at 4:30 PM she wanted to submit an appeal which, everyone that I have spoken to was too late for anything to happen by the Monday 8:30am. She claimed to have suddenly spoken to the State attorney and received a PLEA deal that she told me about and I accepted because, I was able to speak to my cousin and work things out. I did leave a credit card authorization form(previously) for all payments that I made for ONLY Depositions and transcripts and my credit card was charged without my authorization for an appeal which was never filed and would have been futile anyways because it would have taken more than the time that we had to stop or request a continuation again.This is the reason why would like to file this complain, Attorney *************************** (Bar#*******) told me every lie in the book I apologize for the lack of a better word. Nothing she said was true, she made up prices on the fly and recommended requesting a new court date with new evidence, which she said was $5000 then when we could not use any additional video evidence, she then changed the price of the appeal from $10000 to $5000 and took my money without filing ANY appeal or doing any work on the case. I am not only writing to file a complaint against *************************** but I also demanding the my $5000 be returned to me in perpetuity.
