Coles and Thompson

The lack of professionalism was astounding. The lack of concern for the case was astounding, by the entire firm. The billing was and is unbelievable, they were paid ¼ million in cash then billed an extra $ 550,000. We had a 7 hour trial and the bill is over $ 770,000?
We had a very ill lawyer who was rushed to the emergency room numerous times, with a stand by lawyer in case he could not do the job. We were billed tremendous hours for a program called case map and at the end of the day, they came to the court room with about 5 boxes of papers. Never new the case, never fought for the case.
The deposed 1 person, they called two people to the stand and yet the bill is close to $ 1Million Dollars…
At the onset of the trial, Paul Daulton was unprepaired, did not know the documents, did not counter the witnesses called from the defense and we were the litigants. At the close of the trial we had the last presentation to the jury, Paul forgot, was totally unprepared and lost to a simple, frazzeled, bumbling strip mall contengency lawyer.
We were first robbed by an employee, then robbed by this law firm though billing and a lack of concern on the outcome of the trial. In one instance they forgot, forgot to outline a rule 11 and document it, simply forgot so all that work for nothing had to be rehashed out.
