He started out interested and responsive and lead us to believe he actually had an interest in being of help. He sent the demand letter, corresponded by email with the defendants' agent, then he had an upcoming vacation and began recommending we find a different attorney. Red flag. Never really said why other than he was going to be gone 2 weeks. We declined because we had time to wait if it meant getting it done. How do we look changing attorneys in the middle of the process? Stupid and as if our case is BS, that’s how!
He returns from his trip and is less and less helpful. I schedule a time to meet face to face because the defendants had long since missed the deadlines to respond and at this point, we're looking like they've called our bluff. Now we have to file a civil suit and pay the filing fees. Fine.
He has an ENTIRE week to cancel the appointment, but allows me to drive over an hour to his office only to start talking about retainer fees and about not having "time" for our case. Retainer fee for what?
He ended up suggesting I either find another attorney or file it on my own and go to him for questions and the negotiation stage. He initially claimed he'd have to go down to Tampa to file it all manually, but then slipped up and mentioned an online filing system.
When I go to him with a question about process service, he terminates his relationship with us altogether.
He seems to pride himself on "being up front" when in actuality he gives the runaround and tries to get you to back out of using his services so he doesn't have to do it to you. Being “up front” would have been to not take the case under Hyatt from day 1, because when he did “have time” he pretended to be interested in helping us.
Either he does small claims or doesn't. It’s not about “time” because I did the entire process in less than an hour. Remotely. Online. Via the E-File system.
I played along and humored the excuses, because as a small business owner with face-to-face clients as well, I can appreciate how difficult it is to keep momentum going as respects clientele and reputation, but I knew from the day his vacation took precedence over the 20 minutes of work it took me, and would have taken him to file the case, he had no intention of helping us beyond that demand letter. Which is unfortunate.
He signs up as a Hyatt attorney only to not want to truly help their clients, because financially, more than anything else, it’s not WORTH making “time” for. That’s ridiculous. We WASTED SEVERAL WEEKS of “time”. The MAJORITY of which was by him, and the defendants just ran with it!
Hopefully when he does “have time”, it’s not going to be months of it all at once where Hyatt will become bread and butter instead of a nuisance.
Yours sincerely, Patty L.
