Lawyer Referral Service

If I can give no starts I would. This below is on your website.
We do not guarantee that the attorney will take your case, but you will get to speak with them personally for up to 30 minutes.
I paid the $ 40 fee like an idiot to be referred to Patrick Monahan. This $ 40 was for a 30 minute consultation and this guy yelled at me for 6 minutes, telling me I am wrong, telling me I just want free stuff. He literally yelled and talked over me, when he said I wanted something for free I told him «I paid $ 1,700 for these services with invoices». I asked «why cannot anyone be held accountable» this seemed to have struck a nerve because he proceeded to get more angry. He said «Hold who accountable it sounds like you want free stuff and your not going to get it». I said «What, I paid for these services» Patrick, «Oh well you didn’t say that», I said «because you didn’t let me finish before you yelled at me. Do you talk to all of your clientele like this», Patrick, I talk to you like this” I said «F it then, keep your $ 40 bucks».
I said that because no one was willing to help me, so I helped myself. Information I got on the web is what I used and I brought a legitimate case and won a small victory for consumer rights.
Long story short after 3 months of dealing with my issues, being hung up on and degraded by Vice presidents and now this joke, I have lost trust in this judicial system. This guy is an Army veteran which I would have thought he would treat those he defends in the court room like the oath he raised his right hand with in Boot camp. I just looed closer at your web site and that was non refundable. my bad for trusting your services. you must know lawyers do not answer people who wont make them much money. I feel that is the case. by the way. I got off the phone with my party I made my complaint with and I will be receiving a check in the mail next week for the service I received. Now I wish Patrick Monahan would do the same for the disservice and embarrassment he brought on his Firm.
I am one person and I know Patrick LRS wont care what is said, because Naïve people like us will continue to call thinking we have a chance with a lawyer who «Might care.
Attorney General for AZ can really help you in swaying the difference of opinions. Most companies think they have this right to treat customers like we are beggar’s and do not know anything. well Patrick I wait for your phone call to finish the rest of the 21 minutes I paid for or you can pay me the $ 40 I paid for. So thanks Lawyer referral services for sending me to someone who cares about himself instead of the People.
I wonder if I can make a complaint with the Maricopa state Bar atleast let them know about this issue.

After talking to them briefly, I felt like I was talking to a bunch of con men. Here’s why:
I was told to contact this service after trying for several weeks to find an employment law attorney. Up to this point, I had contacted several lawyers from the AZ state bar website and several lawyers I found from google. Many of the lawyers I reached out to never bothered to get back to me, the ones who did were too busy, not their area of interest, etc. I was very excited when one of the lawyers recommended this service.
So I called them up to get more information: there is a $ 40 fee for the contact information of ONE lawyer. This lawyer may or may not help you. There are no guarantees from the referral service that the lawyer will help and if s/​he doesn’t, it will cost another $ 40 for referral to another attorney.
I was a little shocked and although I didn’t pay to use the service, I still felt scammed since I did waste my time. For all I know, some kid in a small room doing what I did for several weeks, ie googling lawyers online. I tried contacting so many lawyers that there would have been a good chance of my paying for the name of a lawyer I already tried contacting.
I think I am going to start an «Attorney Referral Service» and charge $ 34.99, should be easy money…
