The Law Offices of Thomas C Walker

Be very cautious before signing and sending over the retainer. It’s non refundable regardless of whether or not any actual work is done on your behalf.
I never met with him. I sent him my $ 2,500 retainer after a phone conversation where he assured me that I had a case. After collecting my material he sent me an email asking what my complaint was! I asked for my funds back in my first reply to him. Subsequent email exchanges asking that he refund any remaining monies and him trying to convince me that he could build a case out of nothing evidently ate through my retainer.
After reading this, it really sounds stupid that I trusted this guy. What a waste of $ 2,500.
I did not «change my mind». It was a classic money trap. «You have a great case. Just sign the contract and send the funds». As soon as he cashed my check he told me «I don’t know what you’re suit is about. You don’t have a case». So I said «Send my money back». Then he tells me he used it all up doing absolutely nothing but fighting with me about why he shouldn’t refund.
If I had the energy and wasn’t disabled I’d sue him.
