jackie ferrari esq. Ferrari Law Office paid $1000 to this attorney Internet

I gave $1000 as a retainer to this attorney in february, 2012. This attorney's job was to consolidate all of my three cases into one. She failed to file those forms on time along with attorney substitution forms and also tried to charge me for other possible cases/leads as legal advice along with a slew of other things that never happened, and i will dispute those through arbitration. In the end, she hurt my case and hurt me financially. I have a trial coming up on may 16th, and this attorney created another problem for me since she failed to consolidate all three cases on time, i will have to file a motion for continuance and may be penalized for not responding to discovery requests. this attorney failed to communicate with another attorney, was negligent toward my cases and procrastinated toward the last minute. she also became verbally abusive and aggressive when i told her that she was fired and threatened with police and another lawsuit. i would not recommend hiring this attorney or using her services. very big mistake on my part, waste of time and money, could have hired a paralegal to do this for me, instead of paying someone to wait in court when she is specifically asked not to or going to court when she was told not to just to charge me even more money. I am a student and very low income, so to me that was a lot of money. this woman used me for financial gain. i am very upset and disappointed with this attorney and angry at myself for ever using her services.
