Sweet Jesus, what idiot decided to p**s off Salty Dad??!
This is how to fire a bad lawyer. Yes, this is word for word what I sent.
“Jeffrey,
It is painfully obvious that you are incapable of representing me in this matter. Between your lack of knowledge about the intricacies of the ###### system (you shouldn’t have had to do hours of research to come to a conclusion, then reversed course after a receptionist clued you into the fact that cases are routinely reopened), and the fact that you have (yet again) vanished for an extended period of time with no communication (you were supposed to make the changes to all of the errors in your proposed filing, then get it back to me two full weeks ago) in a case where you promised a quick aggressive filing, I have zero trust in your competence or professionalism.
I paid you XX thousand dollars to get this case started, upon your representation as a ###xx “expert”, and your promise of filing quickly in this matter. 2 months later, you have produced absolutely no result. I received an error laden, quickly thrown together bare bones proposed filing, but have yet to see even a final draft…let alone a filing in this matter.
I refuse to babysit a grown man while paying 700 dollars per hour. You were hired so that I could proceed with this case, without having to worry about it. Hiring you has not only wasted an immense amount of time (having a negative impact on my case), but has also generated an extreme amount of frustration.
For XX thousand dollars, I could have bought myself a nice watch, or taken my family on a vacation. Sadly, that XX thousand dollars got me tickets to a clown show.
YOU ARE HEREBY FIRED.
You no longer represent me in this, or any other matter.
My ACH authorization is hereby revoked, immediately.
Additionally, as you have failed to produce any results (other than wasted time and frustration), I hereby demand the immediate return of the XX,000 dollar retainer.
Failure to remit those monies will result in my filing a Bar Complaint for Incompetence, as well as a detailed timeline as to your utter failure to represent me with any diligence or competence…to be posted publicly, where I see fit.
Good riddance.
