Mr. Kontos needs to retire. The biggest red flag in our consultation was that it was “too good to be true”.

On a cold call he spoke to me on the phone for more than 6.5 hours, telling me that he would represent me and going through my entire case file with me and the history of my entire conflict. He assured me that the next day we would sign a contract, pay the retainer and begin work. I woke up to find a rejection email from him on the basis that even though he believed me, and money wasn’t an issue, he has “too much secondary trauma” watching clients get chewed up by a corrupt system and he didn’t want to watch it happen to me.

Imagine a paramedic arriving at a car accident and saying “I am tired of watching people die” And then getting in the ambulance and driving away. If David truly has this level of secondary trauma then he needs to retire.
