1 /5 Dan Halloran: Karen Hatton subpoenaed me as a witness for a civil trial. On the day of the trial, I showed up to court, and the clerk informed me that the trial had been postponed, and that it was the responsibility of Ms. Hatton to inform the witnesses that she subpoenaed to court.
Ms. Hatton completely wasted my day, with zero regard for my time. I called her office from the court to express my frustration, and there is not even an option to speak with a person, just an answering machine.
In my opinion, based on today’s circus, this attorney lacks any semblance of professionalism. Karen, please respond and let me know where to send a bill for my time being wasted today.
Ms. Hatton responded and incorrectly stated that the subpoena said for me to call her office or the court to be sure the trial was still on. It said nothing of the sort. The person who should have picked up the phone was Karen Hatton. Your client has my number, but you never bothered to ask for it.
Lazy work, counselor.
