            On 8-2-2021 I hired ***** Stoops to create my Will. In-person at his office I paid $200.00 cash (the full amount) for that will and at that time was interviewed by ***** stoops for everything to be included in the will. After a couple months I began making numerous calls to his office asking where it was, repeatedly being told someone would call back but they didnt, another month or so later I spoke to ***** who had me repeat everything I wanted on the will as they had lost my information. Upset as I was I repeated the information, by phone this time. But month after month after month I call asking where my will is and I am repeatedly told "its been hectic" or "things have been crazy" and "someone will call me" etc. Finally, around April of this year I began asking for my money back as it seems they have no intention of creating my will. But I have only been met with the same statements. I have since asked for my money back three more times to no avail. Now here I am over eleven months later, no will, no refund, no apology, nothing. I had hired Mr ********************** on a couple other occasions in the past and although he lost a case against an insurance claim on my behalf I still thought only the best of him personally and professionally. So to be treated in such a way both shocks and saddens me.

            Basically took my money and didn't do anything. My court agreement was never filed. He will not answer or return my phone calls alone with his office.
