Conner & Lindamood Tom Conner Attorney Conner & Lindamood Tom Conner Steve Lindamood Houston, Texas

True story...

I called Steve Lindamood today (12/15) for a 'free consultation' as offered. My inssue involved an attorney who filed a motion to withdraw as counsel because I missed a court hearing due to the fact I was traveling from out of state and the airport was snowed in. I asked a simple question, "If the court grants the motion to withdraw, can I (client) appeal the decision?" Steve Lindamood, "I charge $2,500 to review the case" and when I confirmed an appeal could be taken before he took my money, and barked "oh that's outrageous, of course you can't appeal that issue" and hung on me.

My tone of voice was linear, normal, pleasant, while Steve Lindamood was like a rabid dog barking and, if I could see him, probably foaming at the mouth. Another attorney took the time to find the opinion of Steve Lindamood gave the WRONG legal opinion when indicating I could not appeal the decision. If Steve Lindamood's opinion was correct, how in the world did multiple court's of appeal render the below decisions on the precise issue of the withdrawal of counsel?

In short, my opinion of Steve Lindamood is simple: incompetent, arrogant, and will actually hang up in a potential client's face after providing the WRONG legal advise!
