1 /5 Andrew Brewster: If youve already hired him, I suggest Insisting on a detailed itemized bill for how hours and when hours were spent. He did not provide this when I asked, but there was some effort shown after the request. In short, I paid $2.5k with the expectation he would at least show up to court. Shortly before the court date, he advised that I would be getting another bill for him showing up to court. I said I had already paid for that, but Im open to it if he gives me an itemized bill for any work hes already done.
I showed up alone and was asked "who is your attorney and where are they? " I mentioned how much I paid him and that he wanted more before he would show up. There was an eye-roll and direction given to "Get him here in 30min or less". I can only verify my own experience, but my perception at the time was that this wasnt the first time this kind of happened. He was still late, but to his credit he arrived within 20min! He was clearly not happy with being forced to show up without more money, but to his credit he did do the minimum by showing up.
For what its worth. The first day I met him he mentions that he "volunteers" at a prison to give initial consultations to prisoners about their cases. If any of the prisoners families are reading this, maybe Better Call Saul instead.
This guy is an attorney of course so
