William Thomas Broderick-Villa

I hired Broderick- Villa to write a response to a Motion to vacate and a friend of mine could have drafted a more professional response. There is also the problem that I requested several phone calls and Broderick-Villa refused to speak with me. He only had a phone call with me AFTER I fired him. He also only improved his communication via email and one "phone call" that wasn't really a phone call AFTER I fired him. Communication was terrible. Once he has your money do not expect your emails to be answered in a reasonable amount of time. If you have a hearing on October 5 you will be offered a phone call at the end of October. The opposition he prepared is not responsive to the issues raised in the Defendant's Motion to Vacate. Due to his lack of responsiveness and the fact that the opposition did not come anywhere close to addressing, much less adequately addressing, the Defendant's arguments especially pertaining to service of process and his alleged lack of knowledge of the underlying complaint, I was forced to Fire Broderick-Villa who then chose to bill me in a scam until the court filed the paperwork. I chose to retain another attorney to represent me who could handle the issue and understood the scope of the issue- SERVICE. Because the opposition drafted did not even address the issues raised in the motion to vacate, I had to hire and pay another law to draft an opposition that is responsive and addresses the defendant's arguments. I requested a full refund which he refused to give. I now have to go to court to get it back and he is going to have to report it to his malpractice insurance, raising his rates. He could have been reasonable and resolved this but took no accountability of his opposition did not come anywhere close to addressing, much less adequately addressing, the Defendant's arguments. DO NOT HIRE THIS LAWYER! YOU WILL REGRET IT.

I called William Thomas Villa’s office and made an appointment for a telephone consultation. His secretary scheduled the appointment for three weeks away. I explicitly told his secretary three times, I lived 700 miles away and could only do this consultation via telephone. On the day of my appointment I called his office an hour early to make sure he had received my paperwork. Another secretary answered the phone and told me we were to meet in person not over the telephone. She was rude and short. She would not listen to anything I had to say. She could not accept the other secretary had made a mistake. They tried to blame their mistake on having sent me an email, yet could not give me a date they supposedly had sent the email they could not find. She finally put William on the phone to tell me this is not a good fit. He basically fired me without asking or knowing what had occurred. I would not rely on this firm for anything.
