Tully Rinckey

Tully Rinckey is not transparent with their clients and has questionable billing practices.

When I first called, they stated they would schedule me for a consultation with an attorney but would charged me a consultation fee. Here is the first issue, typically, consultations are free.

When I mentioned this to the person I spoke with, she said that if I choose to hire them, the consultation fee would go towards my retainer. If I chose not to hire them, I would be at a loss.

Since I needed an attorney, I chose to go ahead with it seeing how more than likely the money would go towards the retainer.

When I met the attorney, they seemed knowledgeable and I was interested in moving forward. They gave me the fee and I made the payment. Turns out that the attorney you have your consultation with will NOT be the attorney assigned to your case.

This was in the contract. This made no sense to me, seeing how I made a payment on a fee that the first attorney gave me. Im basically paying for that persons services, so why would another attorney that Id never communicated with take my case? I mentioned this to the person handling everything for me prior to signing the contract and they guaranteed me I would be assigned the same attorney.

Luckily I had this on email so when they tried to give me a different attorney I called them out on their BS right away.

After going back and forth with the company several times they assigned me the attorney I requested based on the email.

Now comes the good stuff. They never expressed that ALL calls, ALL emails, basically ALL communication would be charged. The thing is, you dont even know who is handling your paperwork so if your attorney assigns someone to review paperwork, guess what? You have no control of that and they will charge you excessive fees.

How they come up with this and whether they are truthful on the number of hours they put into this is beyond me. Its absolutely insane.

Im down about 15k on a case that was supposed to be roughly 3k. Oh!

And that consultation fee that was supposed to go toward my retainer? That was false, it did not go toward the retainer and I became aware on the first bill which was when they let me know the retainer was depleted and I owed thousands of dollars.

I was a whistleblower and a victim of retaliation- I had to pay $600 just to have a consult / my impression was that once I paid retainer that was it/ I would be done! I was told that I would get the money returned if they couldnt win the case.

The lawyer was very unorganized and emailed me contracts from other clients asking me to sign them? She used up my entire retainer just trying to get the basic discovery completed - then they moved my case to the top attorney and I told them I cannot afford to pay more/ plus I explained that they billed me all my retainer funds for misfiling and mismanagement of my case - I lost everything/ I was homeless for several months as well / Tully R told me I can file my case for free with OMP- but they submitted an incomplete narrative so I lost my case - this company is a nightmare they prey on victims who are already penniless and hurting!

And now / Tully R is emailing me stating I owe them more money!!! They burned through my retainer - ruined my case and sent me other clients files !!!

.Hired this firm before seeing all the reviews.

WORST SHAM ARTISTS EVER!! Instead of an actual attorney with ethics and experience I had an associate attorney who could not even spell or produce a grammarly correct sentence.

The day of the submission of my complaint, (I believe Ryan Green actually thought that I would not fire them because the complaint was submitted). Ryan Green had his secretary send me an email asking for $3,512.30 more without sending an itemized bill. I had paid a $5000 retainer fee and only received one inflated bill for $1,372.50. When I emailed Mr.

Green questioning the amount requested, he said my account was "in arrears" yet there should have been over $3,000 left of the retainer?? Mr. Green had a bill made up to match the requested amount.

I suspected a scammer at work...ask for $3,512.30 and when the client questions it then create a bill to match AFTER the fact.

I contacted my CC company to have them charge back the $5000 and I was going to pay by check instead so I could take control of the payments. (It's a good thing the CC authorization wasn't $10,000 or they would have taken it all)

Then I sent a check for $1,512.50 which they accepted and cashed, then they sent another bill for $5,000 with no itemized bill.

So what started as a $5,000 dollar retainer is now Tully Rinckey, Mr.

Ryan Greene, and Mr. Peter Carley 's campaign to bilk me of $6,512.50, AFTER I received a final statement of $5,140.00.

I have tried communicating with Tully Rinckey to pay the actual amount due but to no avail, The only person that responds is Peter Carley demanding $5000 on top of the check they cashed for $1,512.50

RUN, RUN, RUN, This firm will take every penny you have and provide 3rd grade level work.

INCOMPETENCE AT IT"S FINEST!!!
