I retained David Wandling for council on an issue I had with my lease. When I first approached him he made it seem like this action was a no-brainer to pursue. Well it wasn't $4,000 and a month later I was still evicted for something I didn't do.
I would have been much better off just paying the move fee and vacating the premise (even though I had done nothing wrong), but I chose to pursue a claim on David's encouragement.
David is a very nice man and I enjoyed working with him on a personal level. I simply don't think he was a very good litigator. Maybe there are other areas where he is a good lawyer, but when it comes to contract law and lease negotiation I think you'd be better off retaining me to represent you after what I learned.
Even after everything was said and done the $4,000 was supposed to at least get me a settlement that allowed me to expunge the eviction. When I moved to Boston it was still on my record and I had to sleep on a couch for a month because David's office apparently can't file paperwork. Still isn't resolved. What a joke.
