I have an 89 yr. old mom who's whereabouts is still unknown to our family and her friends. My brother who has power of health has moved her into isolation; obviously for financial and emotional reasons. But it's our mom we want to see, talk to, be with and to know she is alright. She is missing since February. So, I hired Boris Siegel to aid us with a conservatorship request. I now know hiring him was a mistake. He did not want to or could not make a case for our mom. He should have not taken our case and instead directed us to an elder abuse attorney, he didn't. Things went downhill from there. He is very good at filling out forms, you will find this out immediately. However once I signed his retainer agreement I saw his work slack off, and the cash register started ringing! He was very deliberate. He must be in control. But its hard to get sophistication from this approach, and his was minimal and simple. I asked him many times can you include support for our position he just laughed it off! My mom's was eating stale food, un changed sanitary, not bathed in months, long nails, and just confined. Boris said this is just average and basic, and not to worry. Then the opposition supplied pages and pages of well written documents. We had only a few sentences, and nothing from my mom's brother who is a energetic ER physician. The result was the court appointee did not have a clear picture. His suggestions to the judge supports continued abuse. Of course it was because Boris did not present this abuse. He didn't speak about my brother, who runs my mom's estate. Of course Boris clearly denies any feedback. Friends If you need energetic and sophisticated legal work maybe this guy is not for you! We have lost valuable time in our case. I recognized his approach is lacking in skills. His approach is: I am bigger and stronger than you so I am taking charge! This doesn't work when more is needed. I explained this to Boris and said no more and thank you, I do not need your services- this is not working! That was a month ago. The cash register still keeps ringing and he won't let it go! When I ask him to please stop harassing me, asking for more money and billing me. He would not stop. My mom is currently missing and her whereabouts unknown. His stuff didn't work and only caused us more stress.
