Typical line from his legal asst. Monnie Skinn: "Why don't I get yr phone # and call you back?" What kind of lawyer doesn't meet with his clients or represent him in court and pretends to not know about a court date?
The kind that takes yr retainer check fee and then pretends you don't exist.
My brother became a client in February. He meets with Michael's legal asst. Monnie in June to assess the situation and determine which forms will be filed.
When I called to see if the right family law forms had been filed for my brother, Monnie tells me that they were filed the "wrong way" and the courts were not happy with it. (sounds like BS to me)
So they needed to re-file the forms. I also called to confirm whether or not Michael would represent my brother in court at a hearing. Monnie said, "Yes" probably to make me happy and get off the phone.
Then Aug 19 comes around and when my brother calls to check and see if Michael would be representing him, Monnie seems to know nothing about it.
People, my brother, with limited English speaking abilities and a limited education has a court case today to defend himself against fraudulent child support charges and although he as retained a lawyer, has to represent himself.
Not fair to be forced to pay $20,000 in child support that he does not owe and then to forced represent himself in a time when he needs a lawyer the most.
