Jeglin, Swanson, & Wright
I retained Quinton Swanson in a probate case. The Law states probate to be completed in 1 yr. It has been 2 and half, he has done nothing to help me. The $2000.00 retainer has been used for phone calls to me in the amount of $1016.00. Help! Ripoff

Quinton Swanson took a $2000.00 retainer fee from me due to a conflict of interests between the executor (my brother) of my mothers will. He said the law states probate is to be completed in one year or the executor will be removed. My brother has done NOTHING! He refuses to return phone calls to the probate att. He has sold my mothers home, the money is in the courts trust fund account and has the money to pay off her debts. He refuses to do this. Quinton, has not done one thing to remove my brother and appoint a objective executor, of which he promised to do if things were not completed in a year. Nothing has been done at all since the sale of the home, in May.

The will states we get 50% each. Of the $2000.00 Quinton took from me, he has used over $1000.00 in phone calls, messages to me, and letters charging me for these. Then charges me for the letter he sent to let me know of the charges for the phone calls. It has been almost 3 years and I have paid for all expenses, regarding my mothers death, he did not put out one cent. I have stored things because my brother never came to inventory the house of which I lived in with Mom, caring for her in her last years of illness. Another expense. The realtor that handled the sale of the home, called my brother when I was moving out to ask him to come get Mom's belongings. Furniture, appliances, auto, etc. I moved my things out and the things I did not want to loose that were special to Mom and me. I was asked by the realtor to put anything I wanted in the garage, the house has to be completely empty. I did this and was coming back the next morning for MY final load. When I arrived there, I was locked out, could not get my things, walked in the back yard and most of my china, breakables, etc. Were in the trash cans all demolished and the rest was hauled off to the dump. My brother did take the things out of the house, damaged my goods and took 2 Medicom receivers of which I am now getting billed for, at over $700.00 dollars. There is much more, but if this is enough information for you to get the general idea, I need help resolving this, Please!
