Complaint Review: Zach Newland Tracey Jones at Jones Law

//WARNING///

TLDR;  I would have been better off having my dog represent me then paying Jones Law LLC. All of this is being reported to the Colorado State Attorney Regulatory Counsel under Case #24-1750 for grievous 8.4c violations Keywords: dishonest, scam, unethical, overpriced, incompetent

Jones Law Office and Zach Newland is the antithesis of ethical and diligent professionalism.

Mr. Newland under the direction of Tracy Jones failed to uphold the most basic of standards expected between an attorney and their client.

Communication issues: Mr. Newland would hold back critical information for six plus weeks, and only notified the client after a second deadline was passed about a Court Issues request which led me to be in contempt of Court and eventually costing me hundreds of thousands of dollars and delaying my case by a 2nd year for a simple divorce.

Zach Newland then tried to cover his mistake and mislead the client about the issue and just simply wanted the client to pay the fine and move on without concern for the contempt of court ruling (was only 10 thousand dollars, I guess he has a lot of money and 10k isn't a lot for him).

He then tried to then blame the issue on my Service Connected disability to the courts. This man is shameless. (I am a disabled vet) but he dropped the ball and knows it.

When the items where provided after a mad rush within a few weeks of notice (Thousands of documents due and I provided), he then failed to submit them to opposing counsel and I even had to have my next attorney (after Zach was fired) submit them. Seriously I am talking about the most basic of financial disclosure and a very basic first step in any divorce. Zach Newland was my attorney for over a year and he NEVER got the financial disclosures to the other side.

Mr. Newland lied to his client about a 2nd delay in the final hearing (this delayed the hearing by a year!), by blaming the delay on a personal matter of opposing counsel. When in fact it was just revealed that opposing counsel did not incur that delay. This is about the same time that I didn't get critical communications, nor any communication from my attorney. Mr. Newland would then call me and intentionally mislead me about the delay and saying there is nothing we can do. This was 4 days bewfore the heading. I had witness flying in from the East Coast and he pulled the plug blaming OC. Cost seveal thousand.

Unethical behaivour. Mr. Newland told a key a witness saying not to worry about any witness retaliation as "I will gladly represent you for free, should anyone retaliate against you". Witness was relieved and agreed. Guess what, just 4 months later after the witness list was provided, the witness was retaliated against as expected, and confirmed by Zach's own wording. But guess what, he said he can't help and refused to address it with the courts. and left the witness hanging. Mr. Newland is a liar, a thief and a charlatan.

Tracey Jones is just as inept as she was involved every step of the way and did not care to respond nor take a corrective action when these issues were brought up with her subordinate.

This is just the tip. Massive billing issues, such as his scam billing technique by doing a bait and switch regarding paralegals. Jones Law will tell you they have a paralegal (in agreement document with billing rate). But you will get billed at the full rate for EVERYTHING, seriously forwarding an email is all Zach would do, and he eventually cost me plus $25,000 in fees and did barely anything.

Also be wary of reviews: confirmed 5 star reviews are from employees of Jones Law: Don’t believe me, below is 5 star from a Cecelia Walker and she is an active employee on google maps. I’m willing to bet other 5 star reviews without substance are false reviews as well. I will gladly provide any support I can or help anyone which I confirmed I am not alone...who had negative experience with this office. Do not use Jones Law.
