Complaint Review: James K. Knight Jr. Attorney At aw - Marietta Georgia

Some weird things with you my friend. The attorney called a family member to get money? How would this be possible unless you gave him a family members number? Also how would you know anyone would instruct their secretary to lie? Did the secretary tell you-hey I'm instructed to lie to you. Must be nice having esp.

I was unaware that a former client of mine, Fabian, had posted this stqtement until late 2007. My bar license has been in good standing since 1977. My disciplinary record is free of any reprimands or suspensions as of November, 2008. Persons interested in knowing more about my practice may contact the State Bar of Georgia. I accepted Fabian's divorce action without receiving any upfront fees. Fabian promised to pay me $750.00. Fabian had been sued for divorce by his wife. She worked as a nurse in the county jail. Fabian believed that she was having an affair. Fabian could not control his behavior in this regard and his wife had a family violence protective order entered against Fabian. Fabian was arrested and rearrested and charged with stalking when he violated the protective order. Fabian was not allowed a bond on the second violation. Fabian telephoned my office collect from the jail constantly insisting that I visit him at the jail. I did visit him when I had any information regarding his case, however I could not go to the jail every time he requested it, unnecessarily. Fabian ended up paying a total of $3,000.00 in attorneys fees for a divorce, criminal charges and family violence court representation. My total billings exceeded $4,201.00. It was unfortunate that I could not continue to represent Fabian to his satisfaction. I did the best I could to help him with his problems. His own conduct owever created more legal issues which could not easily be resolved. He was not entitled to any refund of fees.

Wow, that's one busy lawyer! But I'm sure he meant the firm, or all TX PPL lawyers if they have multiple firms. I don't see how just having one provider firm in a state as big as TX is very convenient for most people. But the huge payment is in no way indicative of whether the lawyers might bungle a case every now and then, and it certainly isn't relevant to this report. By the way, it seems like the reporter had some sort of issue that was covered by the "discount" portion of his membership and not the full coverage portion. He states that the lawyer is a PPL referred attorney, which is why its relevant to PPL.

I believe he meant that the provider law firm was paid that amount each month, not the individual attorney..

"provider attorney in TX, gets paid 1.75 mil (per month) to services members" At $400/hour that is... ummm... $1,750,000/($400/hr) = 4,375 billed hours / mo There are 2080 working hours/year, or 2080/12 = 173.33 working hours / month So... ummm .... 4,375 billed hours / mo divided by 173.33 working hours / month gives 25.24 billed man-months per month! When does this attorney dude rest, dude? Oh.... he has 24 other attorneys with him....? Tim - Valpraiso - are you reading this? Or are we simply hearing from another math-challenged PPL-Supporter? Stay tuned, folks.....

If that is the case, contact customer care... and they'll terminate his contract... but i doubt it is.. these attorney's get paid ALOT of money to NOT screw up. provider attorney in TX, gets paid 1.75 mil (per month) to services members.... they don't have much margin of error to mess up.

o... The man still owes me $1,250.00!
