Complaint Review: Gary D. Zeid

I hired this lawyer to do my divorce. First, besides charging me an arm and a leg, he told my soon to be ex-wife I wanted full custody of our kids. Well because of this, she lied and said I beat on her and the kids. Her lawyer filed a complaint. Her lawyer gave my lawyer a court date for this complaint. My lawyer sent me some papers showing her complaint and the court date. But by the time I received the papers from my lawyer, the court date had passed.

When I confronted him about this, he said I didn't have to be there. One month later, I received a subpoena stating that a restraining order was in effect. When I confronted him about this, he said if I wanted him to fight harder for me, I would have to pay him more money.

I had already given him $1200.00. These events occured in August of 1999.
