Arch B. Boyd Attorney At Law ripoff dishonest fraudulent billing and lack of service Memphis Tennessee
I lost my mother in August 2004 after I took care of her for a year while she was sick. After she died I had some questions about her estate some months later. I hired an attorney by the name of Arch B. Boyd III on Dec 29th 2004 and paid him $1000.00 to pay for an accounting. He quoted me $100.00 for ten hours of work. Then on June 3rd 2005 I went to Arch Boyd because of problems with my mother's estate I recieved a letter that the bank was going to foreclose on my house that was left to me in my mother's will on July 12th 2005. I went and talked to Arch Boyd about this matter and he said that he would need $5000.00 to represent me on the house. However he said that he understood my situation and that I could pay him in payments. I paid him $1000.00 on June 3rd and another $500.00 two weeks later.
I have never recieved an accounting on my mother's estate to this date and my house was foreclosed on July 12th 2005. Arch Boyd never did anything on these matters that I hired him on. I had a meeting with him after my house was foreclosed on about a refund and I told him that I needed the money so that I could find me somewhere else to live. He told me that he would send me a letter breaking everything that he supposedly did down and then would let me know how much he would give back to me. I never recieved a letter from Mr. Boyd so I sent him a letter(enclosed) and then I called Mr. Boyd the following Monday and asked him if I could pick up my money and all he said was that he would send me a response to my letter. I then had to find an attorney to represent me in the eviction proceedings and that attorney helped to keep me in the house awhile longer THANK GOD and he found some information about some of my other legal issues that Mr. Boyd never provided.
During this time I checked the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility web site and found that Mr. Boyd has had Three disiplinary actions against him in the past. One such action was a public sensorship in april of 2005. The charges were failure to communicate with client, neglect of legal duty, and failure to refund any money after being terminated by a client. All I want is my $2500.00 back. If your office can help I would really appreciate it.
