Hire this attorney or move on with next?

[Tina Lee]

Hi all, try to get an local eviction attorney, they are very hard to find. I called about 30 on the list only 5 of them return my call.

I talk to one today and likes his approach, he basically told I don’t have to offer lease renewal with my tenant on my town. ( while all other 4 mention I can’t not renewal with a good cause)

Here is the catch, I had more question and he didn’t want to answer so I had to pay him half hour of consultation fee to ask more details which he agree and told me if I would hire him he would use those consultation fee on the case. So I paid him $100.

At end the notice to quit he need to send will cost $300. So he mention he give me a courtesy discount of $50. I would be charged $250. We hang up the phone. So I follow up with email ask it should be $200 because he mention the consultation fee would be on used on the case. He reply back say no the $100 will used for consultation and $50 as fourth discount he gave me. ( is only $50 I don’t really care that much)

Is the way he handle his business makes me worried about his dignity. Would you hire this attorney or move on to next one? ( his fee is about $100 cheaper than others attorney) and he is the only one told he could do a non renewal lease for the town while other all say I can’t. ( is this a good thing or should I see as red flag?

First time working with attorney is a time consuming and confusing experience.
