My son's mother and I hired Paul messing to represent our son who was arrested by the FBI for making threats. We paid him a $15,000 retainer and a $10,000 escrow fund. It has now been a year, my son has yet to enter a plea and Paul Messing has stopped returning our phone calls and consulting with my son about his case. He told my son and his mother he was going to get him probation and that was the last time we heard from him. He spent the $10,000 escrow fund on his doctor friends who did nothing. My son was wrong and is willing to face his consequences. My issue is Paul Messing told us a flat fee of $15,000, took our money and then did as much as a public defender would have done only he charged $15,000. He preyed on our emotions when my son was first arrested telling us a public defender couldn't do as much as he could and he knew the federal prosecutor. My son's mother maxed out her credit cards and I emptied what I had in my 401K. We thought the money was being well spent to represent our son and had no idea it was simply to line the pockets of Paul Messing and his "friends".  Perhaps an even scarier part is this man also teaches the law.  Stay away from Paul Messing and if you ever have to hire a criminal attorney do your best to leave your emotions outside the room.
