A friend said she knew an attorney that could help with an inheritance case I was going to file. So I called Charles, not really knowing who he is. And he said in the first 4 minutes on the phone he wanted $5K as a retainer. Then it got creepy he said he needed to come live with me (right away) while he worked on the case. I had never meet him etc. An attorney doesn’t need to “live” with you to prepare a case. He can’t charge a retainer, he isn’t an attorney. I pointed that out and it changed to a research fee. After I did some research on his credentials and found out what a fraud he was.. I talked to my friend who recommended him and she said she was a real attorney and could get his license if he paid a fine. She got serious mad at me for telling her the truth about Charles.
