So, I hire this attorney (michael brennan of costa mesa, ca.) who does pretty much nothing on my case for 15 months except figure out how to run up his bill and use up the retainer I gave him. After firing him, I file a complaint with the Orange County Bar Association (OCBA); as far as I know, this is the only option available to me. I paid them $250 to file the complaint then I put in quite a bit of effort to put together documentation to substantiate my complaint. Eight months goes by and after complaining several times, they finally schedule a hearing but send me the wrong instructions, then while I'm trying to get them to send me the right instructions and clear my calendar, they grant the attorney a continuance only a few days before the hearing. Then, they send me a notice it was taken off calendar only they send it to the wrong address. Now two months later I'm still trying to get them to reschedule the hearing.

Bottom line is don't waste your time and money. This is just another lawyer money machine for lawyers and it's all a sham. They claim to represent the best level of professionalism but in fact they are just interested in getting your money and at the same time putting up a fake front of professional ethics. Since the hearing is run by another attorney who can't even send me the proper instructions on when and where to attend the hearing, I doubt very much she will even bother to read my complaint, so I'm just wasting my time trying to get them to just schedule the hearing.

This was partly my fault because you shouldn't trust an organization that has no physical address and operates from a p.o. box.
