Client
I am extremely disturbed by my recent experience with Attorney Dean who placed a lien on my home without my knowledge or consent, allegedly on behalf of Zelda Dental. Neither I nor my ex-husband have *ever* been to this dental office, and we have no outstanding debts related to them. When I contacted the attorney's office to clarify this serious mistake, I was met with extreme rudeness and an unprofessional attitude. Rather than listening to the situation or attempting to resolve the error, the attorney was demeaning, dismissive, and condescending throughout the call. I was treated with complete disrespect as a homeowner trying to understand why my property was being wrongfully targeted. Placing a lien on someone's property is a serious legal action and should not be taken lightly--especially without proper investigation or communication. This kind of negligence and behavior is completely unacceptable and unethical. I have begun the process of formally reporting him to the State Bar for misconduct and will also be notifying the local judiciary and relevant authorities about this situation. If you're considering hiring this attorney, I strongly urge you to reconsider. Based on my experience, I would be very concerned about both his ethics and professionalism.
