Assist with Other Commercial Contract Matter

Leonard Lerner

"An absolute shyster. Overbilled for hours worked, had his brain dead partner perform unauthorized work that had to be corrected and charged me twice for. As retaliation after complaining he filed for dismissal with prejudice of a lawsuit based on a settlement that was void due to nonpayment within the allotted timeframe, AFTER he was fired and sent me a change of attorney form. Proceeded to lie on his final billing by stating he discussed a dismissal with prejudice on 2/7/2025 (the day after he was fired) when emails clearly prove no such conversation took place until after he filed the unauthorized dismissal with prejudice on 2/10/25. Had to file a bar complaint, stay far away."
