Hired Attorney 2025I initially thought Robert Lantz was on the right path, but I’m saddened to say that my $10,000 retainer was quickly depleted. During our “free” case assessment, I explained my desired outcome, but the conversation soon turned to small talk and personal topics. The first letter he drafted didn’t align with what I wanted, but his charm made me overlook it at the time. If you wish to be charmed, he is your man; however, if you want someone who can think clearly and deliver effective results, he is not the person for you. The ongoing discussions about what he might do next were endless, and I paid for time spent on “thinking” rather than progress. He was always on the wrong side of right. Most of my retainer was used up through Zoom calls, lengthy conversations, and that one letter. From the start, I explained that writing letters would be ineffective since my previous attorney had followed the same approach with no results. After the first letter, I realized most of my retainer had already been spent. He then insisted on writing another letter, despite my clear direction to move toward litigation instead. I told him he was going down a “rabbit hole” and questioned where all my funds had gone. He said he wouldn’t charge me for the second letter, yet I later received another bill for over $2,000. The second letter produced nothing—just like the first. His personable manner made me hopeful, but ultimately, I was left disappointed and back where I started. My previous attorney, at least, achieved partial results; Robert Lantz repeated an ineffective strategy. I’ve requested a partial refund, but I haven't received any communication since then. I’ve been ghosted. It now appears I’ll need to pursue this matter through small claims court in Colorado, even though I live in California.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
