Harrison Law Offices, PC James Harrison I hired Harrison law office to help dismiss a small case. They charged us over $11000.00 and backed off from the case. Woodstock Illinois

In May 2014 I needed an attorney to represent my company to dismiss a case for $10000 claim. I went to Mr and Mrs Harrison Law Office for a consultation about this case. They both were nice and explaining everything will be fine. They demanded $5000.00 upfront to keep it in their trust fund to deduct money for everything they did. They said when everything is settled the rest of the money will be refunded. They also said that they needed to read my company insurance policy to see if they can cover this case and we emailed or faxed the policy and they never responded back to us about it. We tryed to contact with them couple times with no luck. After 2 months we recieved a bill over $2500 that we have to pay. Everytime we try to ask or contact about something would be additional charge $300 an hour. They sent $2500 bill every month showing lines of times charge for doing something but did nothing to try to dismiss the case like they said. After paying over $8000 they said we have to file insurance claim for this case and they wanted to back off. And we filed claim but it was  denied because it was too late. Then he called us to come to his office to explain something. He said we should offer settlement for plaintiff some $5000-$10000 because he did not want us to spend a lot of money for lawyer.

He already took so much money and wanted another $2500 from us to offer $10000 to plaintiff. He threatend us to sue for the money if we dont pay by the end of the month. I did not hire him to open another case so i sent the check to close it. And I had to hire another lawyer for the case. Finally he is a real lawyer.
