    HIRED April 2021. FIRED February 2022. I would describe my experience as "PATHETIC." Dictionary defines Pathetic as -miserably inadequate; of very low standard. I communicated nearly every month and sometimes more than once. I would repeatedly communicate the same content because I would go months without a reply. And when I would receive a reply it had to be edited. Through perseverance I was able to resolve one issue myself. The remaining issues are still pending. I was never more disappointed in a professional than with this law firm. The last charge to my account was September 2021 with a balance due. It is now May 2022 and I received a ****. The **** arrived 8 months after my last charge and 3 months after they were fired. Glad to move on. Not satisfied with the quality or quantity of work performed.

As of October 20, 2021, not one issue has been resolved. I asked you if there would be a conflict of interest with either the Association or the Managing agent that would prohibit you from representing me.1. Our roof has not been repaired. (9 months)2. I have no direct line of communication with our ***** of ********** (9 months)3. The ***** of directors has not been forthcoming with any evidence of a Pet violation. (8 months)4. I have not received either approval or denial of a satellite installation (5 months) The rules and regulations clearly state that the ***** of ********* must approve prior to installation - see attachment 5. I asked if I had sufficient legal standing to take the ***** of ********* to court to recuperate my legal fees - No response (4 Months)June 27th communication Nine months may not be a lengthy amount of time for you. When your property has been damaged and you are accused of wrongdoing nine months is an eternity. Not one issue has been resolved. If you are unable to produ
