I paid a retainer to Mr. Henninger to represent me in a case, but subsequently decided to hire another attorney. Mr. Henninger had done very little work on my case, so I requested a final bill an the return of the unused portion of the retainer. Mr. Henninger never gave me a retainer letter and never provided me with a fee disclosure at any time, as he is required to do.
He did not return any of my calls or answer any emails I sent to him. My new attorney was also trying to reach him to help resolve the matter, but after the initial communication between them Mr, Henninger ceased returning his calls as well.
Several weeks later, Mr. Henninger advised my new attorney that the retainer had been "used up," which not only wasn't true, but didn't match what he had initially said. As I am writing this I STILL have not received any billing from Mr Henninger.
After sending him another email, stating that I was pursuing arbitration and ethics complaints against him and planning to sue to collect the funds due he replied to me and advised me the the retainer was "non-refundable," so it "doesn't matter" where it was billed or spent.
As he never even gave me a fee disclosure he did not state that the retainer was non-refundable. I have never heard of such a thing and would never have agreed. Further, as he originally advised my new attorney that he would speak with him later about the refund check (he never did) it is apparent that the "non-refundable" retainer is a recent invention, motivated by my advising him that I am going to demand complete an accurate accounting of what was billed.
Mr. Henninger has changed his story several times, and he has failed to adhere to even the most basic requirements of providing a fee disclosure and a retainer letter. He appears to be mostly interested in collecting retainers, at least to the extent I can see.
He also has a bunch of different web sites and also lists many different addresses.
There are many good attorneys. My advise it to STEER CLEAR OF JEF HENNINGER.

Alan Isabelle knows about Ripoff Report because he's already on it. Just see http://www.ripoffreport.com/computer-graphics/informedia-group-inc/informedia-group-inc-did-not-766az.htm
There are more complaints out there about him and he is currently facing felony criminal charges in Hudson County, New Jersey for ripping off a business partner. Thus, you have to really consider the source here. In fact, Alan Isabelle just called me less than 2 weeks ago to say what a great attorney I am and what a great job I did on his case. I sent him an invoice and after seeing that he actually owed me money, he got upset and threatened to go on a rampage against me and this is clearly the first salvo. In addition, his voicemail says that he is sorry he hasn't called me and yet he says that he has called me and I didn't return his calls. You can't have it both ways.
Another question is, who would hand over money to an attorney and not understand the terms of the agreement? Clearly that doesn't make any sense. With regard to his new attorney, I sent him two letters, neither of which indicated that I would refund any money.
I am a respected member of the bar with a huge client following and a rock solid reputation. Alan Isabelle has many people on the Internet complaining about him and is facing possible prison time for a allegations that are very similar to the previous allegations. Thus, when you consider the source, it is clear that these allegations are bogus.
