I paid John Harrington 2,500 hundred dollars over a year ago to handle a property case for me I have been to his office countless times and he has not gotten back in touch with me and because he has gotten I want say away but gotten by doing clients like that he thinks it's ok but he has meet the right client now! I'm going to get my money back! I didn't check him out until after I had paid him but he has other bad reviews I will advise anyone don't hire this man.
Was told my divorce would take 6 months tops and it ended up taking over a year when my ex husband was INCARCERATED. There was no reason it should have took as long as it did. They just didn’t do their job and took their time with it! I was given a set price from the beginning, I paid in full and then was asked for more money after my divorce was finally finalized! Good luck ever getting them on the phone. I would call 3 times a day every day and would barely get a call back. Very unprofessional and very slow service.
John Harrington took $1,500 retainer and $350 filing fee from me to file a child support case on behalf of my disabled son. He told me the case would be in court and resolved in 2-3 weeks. I met with him for the free initial consultation and came back a few days later and paid the $1,850.00. He never filed the case with the court and never once called me or never once returned my call after I paid the $1850. I have asked him repeatedly to refund my money and he agreed he would but then has been avoiding me on numerous occasions and has not returned one single penny of my money. I have filed a complaint with the Georgia State Bar and the Better Business Bureau against him. I will also be suing him in small claims court for the return of my $1850. This is not an isolated incident. His other clients have had the exact same thing happen. Some of them were there last Thursday when I went to his office in person to ask for my money back and they were there for the same exact reason, wanting their money back for providing no service and filing nothing, only taking their money and sticking it in his pocket and then totally avoiding them after he got their money. He comes off as a genuine, nice guy, but is a dishonest crook !!!
He has fought very hard on my custody case! I could be very honest and open with John. He took my case last minute in the middle of it all, with not much time to prepare.
I've hired several attorneys through the years, and these two are by far the best I've dealt with. Excellent communication which is rare, and they put great effort into my case. I highly recommend this firm.
