For people seeking to hire an attorney read this! San Diego attorney Scott McMillan, The McMillan Law Firm La Mesa, left his client with a huge bill since attorneys do not work for free of course, In this case, attorney Scott McMillan San Diego lost almost $600,000. From what I see and from the reading the Court of Appeal decision, the loss was due to the failures of San_Diego_Attorney_Scott_McMillan.
In Mancinelli v. Rustie's Intl. Inc., No. D049673 (Cal. Ct. App. Feb. 5, 2008). the Court of Appeal found Scott McMillan’s appeal meritless as it denied every issue raised by The McMillan Law Firm La Mesa. A few key quotes from the Court of Appeal: “Mancinelli [McMillan’s client] argues section 1008 does not apply because the court denied his original motion "without prejudice." We disagree.” Yes another comment by the Court of Appeal, “We therefore conclude the court's denial of Mancinelli's [McMillan’s client] original motion without prejudice did not insulate his second renewed motion from the jurisdictional requirements of section 1008, subdivision (b).”
Most damaging, the Court of Appeal pointed out that Scott McMillan San Diego attorney failed to raise his issue with the trial court, thus jeopardizing his client’s appeal since the Court of Appeal could not consider this issue: The Court of Appeal stated, “We note Mancinelli did not raise this argument in the court below, which waives the issue on appeal.”
McMillan gets law wrong, again. Client left with attorney fees bill of nearly 600k. In my view Scott McMillan San Diego attorney is not the person who can claim he is a “leading” attorney in any practice other than failing at law. I ask consumers to be aware of an attorney who misrepresents himself as this presents a very clear danger to the client being left with a large unpaid bill and losing the case they thought were hiring the best attorney to litigate.
