Horrible. Filing a complaint is a waist of time. They will protect their own. Funny you file a complaint and it makes it all the way to the state bar and they shut it down. Gotta keep them lawyers pockets full. Who cares what's wrong or right

Not doing a good job. I don't feel like any lawyers in Auburn are trustworthy to strive to maintain justice. Also, I have been personally wronged by two Alabama lawyers who caved to pressure rather than ensure that an innocent person wasn't screwed.

Filed a complete against an attorney. Greeted by a locked door, upon hitting the buzzer a gentleman arrives at the door with a form even though I had already typed out our complaint. He states we are not allowed in side and that we have to take the form and have it notarized. Seems to me that if this bar actually cared they might allow people in the door and have a notary available since they require it. It makes you wonder if they make it this convoluted to file a complaint how serious are the about investigating your complaint. I have bets that I just wasted my time.

I have called and called and left messages and emailed with not one reply when I was actually given the phone number to call from another attorney. What a run around and my brother could die in the system from an infection the General Attorney already had to call about yet I can't even get a call back from the number his attorney gave me to help save him…
