562-598-8849, 714-899-8606 and told me that he is glad to prepare all papers and represent me in court for a fee of $1500. He inquired on his Fax No.562-493-6539, I to send him all information about the case. I did fax him 31 pages. I gave him also, my address in Sofia-Bulgaria, my Tel. No. and Fax No.He told me that he is going to send me a Retainer, I to sign.
We communicated on Phone and his Email : [email protected]. On 02-18-2009 I called him and he tricked me to give him my credit card VISA No. in order to check the card validity for California. After I gave him the No.,he immediately withdraw $500 without my permission. Afraid, I had to cancel my credit card.
He also did not send me any Retainer.On 03-08-09 he said that he is so busy having 2000 clients and 200 active at any one time.
On 03-18-09 he faxed me, telling me that he does not want to do my case and already has returned my $500 with sertified check to my address in HUNGARY and I not to contact him again, az the Email will be construed as harassment. He tryed to fool me, I never been in Hungary, I live in Bulgaria. On 03-18-09 he writes:I sent you a cashier check ( this time a cashier)to Bulgaria. I asked him on what address and he told me to some non existing address. It was another trick not to return my $5oo.
in addition he owes me all expenses for 31 Faxes, Credit Card, Tel. calls, my time and since 02-03-09 the lost time for delaying the court process. What he did to me is pour fraud. From authority in Los Alamitos I found out that Mr.Harris is Impostor, he is not a Lawyer, nor PhD. I ,am shacked. I am so angry and upset,suffering of mental anguish, of anxiety and having panic attacks for numerous days. The $500 dollars he stoled from me are very important for my existantce.
Sincerely : Edgar.

CLIENT HAS RECEIVED HIS REFUND NOT ONCE BUT TWICE

Client contacted this Office to prepare a modification for a child support issue;I explained to client the services that we provided and the charges for such services; How could I trick him into giving his CC information?!? He agreed to pay me $500 for the court paperwork; I prepared most of the work, but I was having difficulty getting the information from client and after two weeks of noncompliance, I told him that if he did not get me the information, I could not help him; after further noncompliance, I told him I could no longer help him; I told him that I could credit his same card for the full amount and he told me that he had cancelled the card; He said that he needed the money to get another attorney and I sent him a cashiers check (Bank of America #420645333 dated March 17, 2009) for the full refund of $500; client receives the money and then reports the transaction as "unauthorized" (after he received my certified funds); I showed his bank (Bulbank of Bulgaria) and my processing company all of the evidence all of his emails and the papers I had prepared and the cashier's check and they still refunded the money (because the Bank had not gotten the check back) and charged a $35 processing fee; Bank of America has told me that the cashiers check has cleared and I am waiting for a copy to reopen the matter; however, at this juncture, I am out $500 from my credit card dispute and the $500 for the cashiers check; my credit card servicing agent (MLS Directzero) say that it appears this client has done this activity before; I don't know what that means, if it was a scam, but I am out a net of $535 by trying to do the right thing. I have a feeling that client's posting is done in order to discourage me from seeking back my rightful monies. That is not going to happen. This firm sees 10 to 15 people a day and is proud of the reputation and level of service that this firm has provided for over 18 years; the client as provided this firm's phone numbers and if a client, prospective client, or anyone that may be interested in the truth in this matter, I will be happy to show them or fax them copies of the evidence that is disclosed above. This has taught me not to take any further business from out of the country.
