Please, Please, Please, read the other complains against him on other sits. I engaged the services of Mr. Ney to handle a malpractice case and address the issue of overcharging in attorney's fees. Initially, I paid him a non-refundable amount of $1000 for a case study. However, upon reviewing the study, Mr. Ney informed me that I had a viable case but would need to pay an additional flat fee of $7000 to proceed. He assured me that he would handle the jury trial and expert witness, ensuring that the opposing party would not receive any monetary compensation. Alternatively, I had the option to settle the case for $18000.00. He discouraged me. In an attempt to obtain information about the court dates, I sent Mr. Ney eight emails, but unfortunately, I did not receive any response. Frustrated, I decided to visit his office in person, only to be informed that he was not available. Determined to find out the court date, I contacted the court directly and was informed that it had been scheduled for April 27th at 9:00 a.m. On the court day, I arrived at Mr. Ney's office, but to my dismay, he blocked my access to the Zoom meeting. I was left with no choice but to wait in the conference room. Subsequently, the court transcript revealed that Mr. Ney had waived any defense. As a result of these circumstances, I suffered a financial loss of $50,085.00. The $27000.00 claim which I could settle with less changed to $50,098.00. He has ruined my life. In light of Mr. Ney's negligence, I am taking legal action against him. My son, who is also an attorney, firmly believes that since I had already paid Mr. Ney in full, he lost the case, so he does not have to put any effort. I have lodged a complaint with the State Bar to address this matter appropriately. I write this review to prevent others from not lose sleep nights after nights like me.
