Lawyer.com began flooding my inbox with scam promotions several weeks ago. I never visited their site, suggested I would want these emails, or otherwise requested they contact me in any way whatsoever. I am an attorney, and these promotions offer "case referrals" which they allege are based on my current business, however they appear fraudulent and are completely unrelated to my (non-referral based) practice. I have blocked their emails as spam, but they appear to come from multiple sources, several time per day. I do not trust any business that operates in this manner and therefore will not click any links in these emails for fear of malware or so that it may be used as justification for further spam.Business response

It's a attorney that didh5 represent me th3 right wayBusiness response
07/24/2023
Lawyer.com is a free online directory. In some cases, we attempt to connect consumers with local lawyers. We don't represent any law firms nor are we lawyers.
In this case, if you are unhappy with your lawyer you will need to contact them or the State Bar. Unfortunately, there is no action we can do.
Best of luck.

We have a pending immigration case with the office of ******************************* at **** *************, ****************, ** ***** that has surpassed the alloted time it should have taken to be completed. Our case was opened in 2019 and is pending submission of applications on their offices behalf. We were initially given an estimated time of completion of 2 years. We have paid upwards of $3,000.00 to work on our case and have paid off all dues to complete the case. We were told that our case was put on hold because of Covid and would not submit any further paperwork due to the risk of having to pay further fees. Anytime we go into her office to inquire on our case we are disregarded and denied the right to consult further with the lawyer on our case. The secretary gives legal advice which is beyond her scope of practice and acts on behalf of the lawyer.Business response
