This was a complete waste of time. I showed up fully prepared with a major, high-value case involving over $900 million in cryptocurrency fraud. I had already done all the legwork myself—completed the investigation, organized the evidence, drafted the exhibits, and had everything ready for submission to the Eastern District of Michigan. She wouldn’t have had to do any heavy lifting—just represent the case. Despite that, she was over 30 minutes late to our scheduled Zoom consultation and never even showed up to the platform. I sat there waiting while she casually called me by phone instead, acting like blowing off the Zoom meeting was no big deal. When we finally talked, she didn’t ask serious questions about the case. Instead, she veered off into irrelevant tangents and acted like I didn’t know what I was talking about—even trying to explain crypto basics I clearly understood better than she did. Her knowledge of cryptocurrency law is shallow, and it showed. Worse, all she seemed to care about was getting paid. I had made it clear ahead of time that I was requesting a contingency arrangement due to the nature of the stolen assets. She kept repeating that she doesn’t take contingency cases, but if that’s true—why take the meeting at all? She clearly didn’t care about wasting my time. Her tone was condescending, and I left feeling like she thought she was above me just because she’s a lawyer. There was no interest, no respect, and no sense of partnership. Just ego, dismissal, and dollar signs. If you’re dealing with a serious crypto case and you’ve already done the hard work—look elsewhere. This isn’t someone who values your time, effort, or experience.
