I retained Keith Wynne (Wynne Law group) for a child support modification case. I paid for his services in advance.

Once the case was filed, I received many excuses as to why the other party had not been served. Finally, the other party was served and before we had been called for the first deposition, Mr. Wynne put in a motion to withdraw from the case. His reason being " irreconcilable differences with his client".

Bottom line was he had already made his money and felt he should drop out before he actually had to work for it. When I asked for the money back, he gave me a list of bogus fees to justify him stealing it. What can I do? Nothing, just pay another attorney all over again. Its a shame they can get away with this.

I retained the Wynne Law Group in 2008. My case was settled in 2013. During those 5 long years Mr Wynne and the Wynne Law Group staff were always courteous, professional, and acted in my best interest during this period. I never felt my case was neglected nor postponed for any purpose other than to benefit my cause. I would recommend the Wynne Law Group to anyone in need of legal services with their expertise.

Yes, I would do the exact same thing to my clients if they tried to use me as a "hired gun," were verbally abusive to me and/or my staff, and didn't pay their bills.

And, as you see, Mr. Wynne has filed his own rebuttal, so I am not Mr. Wynne posing as a third party.

In my several years as a loyal RoR fan, I have come to find that reporters who allege that rebuttalists are in cahoots with the reportee do so only because they have no greater defense.

Abusive Client Doesnt Pay Invoice

I am writing this rebutal to set the record straight on Luis' post. Luis did retain The Wynne Law Group to represent him in a child support modification. We prepared the petition and all other required financial documents. We filed numerous discovery requests to obtain information from the opposing party. This is all a matter of public record. I can't violate lawyer/client confidentiality-so all that I can say is that he became very difficult. He the did not pay invoices as they came due. He owed me money-to say I stole from him is insane. Luis was also verbally abusive to my staff. Therefore, Luis was dropped as a client. He was then verbaly abusive and threatened me over the phone-to the point where I filed a complaint with the Plant City Police Department.

I will not tolerate anyone abusing my staff. I will not tolerate anyone abusing me. Finally, I cannot and should not be expected to work for free.

First, the court will let any attorney out of a case if he files irreconcilable differences, simply because they feel he can not represent you without bias. Second,why would I even fight to keep an attorney like this?

Third, I had no previous arguments or negative comfrontation with him. I did not owe any serious amount of money. Any and most attorneys will pencil whip the bill right before they bail.

Finally, you probably do the same to your clients or this is Keith Wynne trying to redeem himself by making it appear to be a third party.

Why did the lawyer withdraw?

#9Consumer Suggestion

Wed, January 16, 2008

Bear in mind that, once an attorney files an appearance in a matter, he must gain court approval to withdraw from representation.

When an attorney files a motion to withdraw, the burden of proof is on the attorney to prove that his withdrawal from representation is warranted. Simple non-payment of fees is usually not sufficient.

The bottom line is that a court of law determined that this attorney was no longer obligated, per the ethical rules that bound attorneys, to represent you.

Usually, this means that you either 1) failed to pay your bills to the extent that it posed an undue hardship on the attorney's practice; 2) that you suggested that the attorney undertake illegal or unethical activities; or 3) that you were accepting legal advice from people other than your retained attorney.

I could very well be wrong in my assumptions but, in my couple of years of practice and seeing such motions being both denied and approved, I can only assume that this lawyer had reasonable grounds to withdraw from representing you. If I am wrong, please, by all means, rebut my assertions.

Furthermore, the money that you paid to the attorney prior to his withdrawal is in no way refundable, assuming that he had a legitimate reason for withdrawing from representation.

Consider this: if you have a medical ailment, and are not happy with the conclusion that your doctor comes to, and then go to a different doctor, are you off the hook for the bill to the original doctor?

Nope. The same is true with lawyers. If you are uncooperative in your case, regardless of what form such lack of cooperation may take, you are still financially obligated to your attorney.

Best of luck, and I hope you can get your issues resolved amicably. But your complaint, without further information, fails to set forth a valid charge against this attorney.
