I called attorney barry Hausmann on p8/01/14 about a pending traffic case in broward county. At the time I was not familiar with this report or his services. He told me that his fee was $595.00. I provided him with my visa card information and he told me that he would send a retainer agreement. I expected that he would send the retainer agreement and once signed would debit my money. MR KAUFMAN THE TOLD ME THAT "HE DOES NOT DO EMAIL.
It sounded strange so I checked him out on an Internet sear h. After reading a negative review, I called him the following business day and told his office manager that I was no longer interested in having him represent me. She advised that I needed to write a letter stating the same per their office policy. I drove to the. Oral springs office, wrote and signed the letter and was informed that mr. Kaufman was the only person who could authorize a refund. The female Hispanic office manager told me that mr. Kaufman was in court and that he would call me that day; 08/04/14. I. Ever received a call that day so I called back on 08/05/14. I could not reach attorney barry kaufman and again spoke with his office manager. She said that she would pass the information along and have him call me. Needless to say, I again did not receive a callback today, 08/05/14. I checked my bank account and he had already withdrawn my money without ever sending a retainer agreement or a credit card authorization for me to sign. I retained a different attorney to handle my pending case and will likely have to file a small claims suit to recover my money from this attorney; as he appears to be dodging my calls.
Ironically, at the time of my initial call on 08/01/14, attorney barry kaufman called me within 10 minutes of my inquiry regarding potential representation. Now it has been two days of multiple contact attempts to retrieve my unauthorized withdrawl and he has not made any attempt to call me back or refund my money even though he is already aware that I retained a different attorney for more money and have called, spoken, left multiple messages and signed a letter advising that I do not want to use his attorney service.
I am writing this review so that other potential clients can be aware of the unprofessional and unscrupulous manner in which this attorney handles refunds. I will definitely write an update to this report if I never receive my illegally withdrawn funds and have to file suit to obtain justice.
