I hired Mr. Politzer to represent us at a Zoning Appeals hearing for a 6ft. Fence Variance. He wanted $1000.00 upfront which we paid. Mr. Politzer never gave the Appeals Board very important information regarding our case.
He question the defendant only 3 times, when the board told him that wasn't what they were looking for. He sat down. (I told him several times before the hearing they are looking for the test of uniquness (Cromwell Law). Which the fence didn't meet. We are still waiting on a final decision in June. I supplied him with everything he needed the survey, pictures and signatures opposing the Fence, which is also on our property. He never questioned me nor did he give the signatures to the board.
When I questioned him-he stated that wasn't relevant to the case - I told him it was very relevant and what wasn't relevant was his questions to the defendant. He also stated that if this went to court that I would have to give him 1500.00 to prepare the case—which I responded this should have already been done for this hearing, that tells you how money hungry this lawyer is and how he must think ppl. Are stupid-I learned the first time with him there won't be a second.
I requested some of my money back only to have him bill me for more. He didn't do anything but take my money.,
I'm also writing to the Attorney Grievance Commission of Maryland-that's how angry I am—I want justice!!! So they can investigate this. Just because someone is a lawyer doesn't give them the right to RIP-OFF ppl.
