SJL Law Group, APC

I WOULD CAUTION ANYONE FROM RETAINING SERGIO J LOPEZ, ESQUIRE. OR SJL LAW GROUP, APC.
I retained Sergio J Lopez of SJL Law Group.
I paid him with a check in the amount of $ 3,000.00. Sergio was supposed to defend me against a false allegation of domestic violence (which was dismissed later by other attorney). He promised he would personally represent me personally and that my case was a walk in the park for him because that was his expertise. He said he used to be a police man then decided to become a lawyer. After our initial meeting with Sergio J Lopez he never called me back. Not once…
After two weeks and several calls later with no call back I decided to pay his office a visit, only to find out he was arrested and was in Jail. One other female attorney was leasing office space from him who also was his friend from college (what she said) offered her legal services if I retained her personally. She said Sergio was not going to be released anytime soon. I requested to inspect my file only to find out no work was done other than a request for discovery form letter. With days before my court hearing I had no choice but to retained a respectable attorney because I had no other choice.
More than one year later I found out Sergio J Lopez was released from jail and the case against him was released or erased… whatever they call it. I left several messages for Sergio to call me back but he was hiding behind his receptionist. I finally decided to sent him a letter asking for him to return my retainer of $ 3,000. He later replied that he provided legal services and was not going to refund my money. I believe that he took copies of my file from his female friend that I had retained one year later to who represented me for a very short time before I decided to go back to my previous attorney.
All I want is for Mr. Sergio J. Lopez of SJL Law Group APC to refund the retainer of $ 3,000.00
EVERYTHING I STATED HERE WAS MY EXPERIENCE WITH SERGIO J LOPEZ AND HIS LAW GROUP. NO OTHER ATTORNEY AT HIS OFFICE OFFERED TO HELP ME WITHOUT FIRST RETAINING THEM, WHICH MEANS PAYING THEM AN ADDITIONAL RETAINER FEE. THIS IS MY STORY AND I AM STICKING TO IT.
SERGIO IF YOU WANT TO REFUND MY RETAINER AGREEMENT YOU KNOW MY MAILING ADDRESS. MAYBE I WILL UPDATE THIS REVIEW TO STATE THAT YOU DID REFUND MY MONEY.
YOUR THREATS OF SUING ME WILL NOT PREVENT ME FROM SAYING THE TRUTH ABOUT MY TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH YOU.
