Patrick J. D'Arcy A Professional Law Corporation Reviews
Aug 23, 2017
Save yourself some time and trouble and listen to me. This attorney is the most incompetent lawyer out there when it comes to Unlawful Detainer cases. I have an apartment building with 12 units and have to evict people from time to time. The lawyer I used to use for Unlawful Detainer cases retired and I needed someone new. I cam across this attorney's website because he is in my area of Huntington Beach. His prices seemed a bit higher for evictions than some of his competitors, but he is VERY good at self promotion so I went with him. What a mistake!
First he took weeks to even get the case drafted and filed. Once he finally filed the case it took him almost a month more to serve the case... the tenants living rent-free all the while. Then he messed up and filed some sort of deficient documents that he had to do all over again and charged me for a second time. After two and a half months with the deadbeat tenants literally laguhing at me in front of the other tenants at the complex ... "Hey, what's taking your ambulance chasing lawyer so long?" one shouted. Then the real show started when I angrily called Patrick D'Arcy and asked for an update. He dodged my calls for almost two week until I finally threatened to file a complaint with the California State Bar. Patrick called back and asked for more money to complete the case. Stupidly, I paid him another $1100.
Several weeks later, the case got thrown out AGAIN because Patrick filled out the paperwork wrong. I was in Court that day to testify and watched the judge berate Mr. D'Arcy for doing it all wrong TWICE. At that point I just went ahead and paid the tenants to leave, as it had been five months and it didn't look like they were ever going to go anywhere with Patrick J. D'Arcy as my lawyer. Over $20,000 in lost rent and attorney fees. Go elsewhere.
