Unprofessional and Unreliable Experience
The reviews highlight the unprofessional and unreliable experience with a law office, specifically with Mr. Bently. The reviewers express their disappointment and frustration with the office's handling of their cases.
Lack of Communication and Incompetence
Md Preston's review highlights the lack of communication and incompetence of Mr. Bently. Despite paying $5,000, Preston had to make around 50 calls to get Mr. Bently to work on the court documents. The documents were eventually denied, and Mr. Bently asked for an additional $1,500 to appeal. Preston was left homeless and broke, living in their vehicle during the pandemic, and even contracted COVID-19.
Missed Court Dates and Unreliable Refunds
Andrea Baker's review echoes the unprofessionalism, highlighting that the office missed three court dates. Baker was told that their lawyer, Robert Mackenzie, was fired, and they would receive a full refund. However, Baker only received a partial refund and a part of their file, with no response from the office.
