Basil M. Loeb - Wauwatosa, WI

Basil Loeb appears to be more interested in his relationship with the court than his client. When first contacted, Loeb thought we had a very good case. However, I had to contact him on several occasions to make sure that things were progressing. Not being communicative is strike 1. The agreement offered by the court was not acceptable, and he agreed and suggested we take the case to court. As the court date approached, I had not heard from him in months. I reached out and he sent several terse messages that culminated in a request to come into his office. I am not a Tosa resident. The meeting turned out to be completely unncecessary, Strike 2. Sitting in their conference room, I was reminded of buying a car while the salesman "talks to the boss". After discussing the case like it was his first time hearing the details, he excused himself to call the Village attorney. He came back with a take or leave it "deal" and advised me to take the deal because he could not win in court. That experience was strike 3, and the lousy deal he negotiated was strike 4, and making me make a decision on the spot is strike 5. I'll give him 1/2 star for not being outrageously expensive, although the value was nil. No, I would never recommend Basil Loeb to do any legal work for anyone.
