Hashim & Spinola Law Offices
Ripoff, deceptive, badly treated, misled

My aunt had died and left a trust funds to be divided amongst the named heirs, of which I, my sister, my mother, and other relatives from pittsfield (worst thieves in the world) of ours were named.

My cousin, Harry and his wife Sherry, from san jose california, decided to sue the thieves who were named executives of the estate (manipulators more likely). They got my sister, my mother (who is on a pension and who had a stroke) involved in their shenanigans by promising us that they had seen the trust and we were to receive rather large amounts of money from said trust. We found out later, all they wanted was for someone to help pay their legal expenses. Since my aunt died in Pittsfield, Mass., they hired a lawyer named Michael Hashim of Hashim & Spinola to legally fight the battle.

Mr. Hashim named me as a plaintiff in the case even though I said that I had an agreement with my cousins and that one agreement was enough! He explained to me that the more names named on the document, the better the case would be. He never contaced us as to how the case was progressing.

This went on for many months. His office sent a paper for me to sign agreeing to his fee of 75.00 an hour so that he could "represent" me. I never signed nor sent in the paper. Now, all his office is doing is sending me bills of 2000.00. And his office is billing me finance charges on the bill. On 1/31/04 he sent me a bill of 2124.72 with a finance charge of 21.02. Now I never agreed to be represented by him nor did i sign the paper saying i agreed to his fees. When I questioned him about this, he shouted at me: "If you want to screw me out of my fee, then screw you!" Then he sent another bill with another finance charge attached to it.

Is this legal to charge finance charges on a lawyer's bill, and to even send me one considering that I never signed his document? I also sent him a letter telling him that I never signed his paper. He ignored it and never replied. Then he told me to "go screw myself" when I did phone him!
