1 /5 Bud W: A few years ago. I had an incident that I needed law help with. As it happened, a few days before that. I had received one of Mr. Patels mailers and I thought okay. Ill take a chance on Mr. Patel. Big mistake. I called and the person that answered the phone was very rude. She told me that I had to make an appointment so I did. I had an appointment with a young man who was not Mr. Patel, but I assumed that he was a lawyer. Big mistake. He said that before he would do anything. I needed to give him $2000 and he would take care of it. Giving him that money was a huge mistake. Because after that he would not take my calls or return my calls. And as I remember it. The next time I saw him was at the courthouse. As we were going in to the courtroom. And I quote, "we are going to plead guilty because I (me)am a large white man with a bald head and there is no way that I would be found innocent because the plaintive was not. So after paying $1300 and In court costs and fines.I let it go for a while thinking about it (because I am a little bit afraid of attorneys). I decided I would let Mr. Patel know about this. When I would call he would not take my calls and would not see me when I drove by his office. When I came into his office mind you, I knew he was in there because I could see him walking around. I know what he looks like and I was not there to start a big commotion. All I wanted to do was explain to him what happened. So I knew he was trying to avoid me. Now I know that $3300. Its not a lot to Mr. Patel. Its not one car payment on his for Masarati or McLaren that hes driving this month or whatever it is that hes driving now. But it means a lot to me. Ive had 2 heart surgeries. Ive had cancer bouts twice and Ive had over 20 other surgeries and Ive been on SSDI for years. So that money meant a lot to me and he did nothing. Id like to give him a zero. But a one is the lowest I can give. I just hope maybe I can stop someone else from making the same mistake that I made.
