BRIAN PONDER LLP | TRIAL LAWYERS

Based on an industry referral, I contacted Brian to file suit against finance company and a student loan processor During consultation Brian agreed to represent me. He stated that he needed 1500 retainer fee for each suit filed. He stated those funds would cover court filing fees .r He stated that he would be compensated by including attorneys fee as damages and would be paid by lender. Once retainer was paid, my phone calls, text and emails went unanswered. Voice mail was not activated to receive messages.. When I finally reached him, Brian stated that he was not going to spend years working my case. He instead offered to work on deleting items from my credit report instead. He accused of looking for a windfall. I asked for a refund to which he stated he would calculate his fees and return any amount left over. I told him that he had no right to keep it because the service he was offering was not what I contracted or paid for and he hadn't done anythingy related. His response was to send me an invoice charging me for reading emails. Even the emails asking for updates and to contact me. Over $2500 that he says I owe him for reading emails. Now I find out that he is not licensed to practice in the state of Georgia. He contacted me today and said that if I continue to work with him he would rescind the charges, that they only applied if I terminated the contract.

Do not hire this attorney I hired him to address accounts for myself and husband in December 2018. This gentleman enrolled me into a program, collected payment every month and never work on either of our credit files. I attempted to reach him several times for a status update to which he never responded. He finally admitted after speaking with him that he indeed did not do any of the work that was agreed upon. I requested for immediate cancellation and am going to be pursuing legal action to recover a refund for services not rendered.
