1 /5 Jesus Duenez: Hired this guy a few years ago for a child custody case,after agreeing on a set fee & payment plan & that he would fight my case all the way up to trail by judge (excluding trail by jury),my case unfortunately extended almost a year. After a long time & finally getting a trail date he hits me with surprise that I need to pay him another $3,000 because my case had extended longer than he expected (after our deal was a set fee for fighting my case up to trail by judge) never did we agree on a time frame. I know it wasn’t his fault that the case extended longer than what he anticipated, but it neither was it my fault. Nevertheless he threatened to leave my case a week before going to trial if I didn’t pay him another $3,000. I couldn’t believe that he was actually doing that to me after he knew exactly the hardships I was going through,fighting for my children and struggling to keep my end of the bargain paying him the agreed fee. I had no choice but to pay him the extra fee he demanded fearing he would drop my case just a week away from trail day. That was so cruel & unjust of him to take advantage of me & my vulnerability at the last moment knowing that I loved my children & would have no other option but to succumb to his demand & pay up. I had to sell belongings & beg friends & family members in order to come up with $3,000 in a week notice before my long awaited & anticipated trail date. I had no choice but to make a sacrifice for my children I pay him. Don’t trust this guy,he will take full advantage of your situation & weakness at such a vulnerable time. I have the contract & receipts to prove everything I’m saying is true,and I will post pictures of them if he denies anything I said.. Your a cruel & dishonest person Gerald!!
