Robert A. Lucas - Rainier, OR

This man agreed to help my elderly mother collect a judgement she always had against another person. He took 2.5 years to do it. He made little to no contact with my mother. He didn't return calls, he wouldn't see her when she came by, his secretary always said he was at court. She got to the point where she asked the secretary if he was still her attorney anymore! He kept giving her advise in favor of the man who owed my mother the judgement. He asked her to agree to less money and hurry to sign papers so that the plaintiff wasn't inconvenienced. She asked for the man with the judgement to pay attorneys fees and this man "forgot". Now that the judgement is coming in he told my mother " Ill just take my part out and send you the rest" My mother questioned him. How much was his part? Why isn't the other guy paying the fees? After 2.5 years of fighting for information, bad advise and now being asked to allow the attorney to deduct an unknown amount from her judgement before she gets it, she questioned him. She asked how much she owed! He said " I didnt work out an amount yet, but ill be fair" My Mother told him she didnt trust him and wanted to know what he was charging her for when she asked that the other guy pay her attorney fees. When the bill came, this attorney took complete advantage of my Mother. And she had no choice. It was pay him this extraordinary bill or not get her money that she needed. This man is crooked. He preys on vulnerable women. He had more sympathy for the other guy than his own client. In my opinion, he should be disbarred. He is a total disgrace. DO NOT USE THIS MAN!!
