The only good thing i can say is that Craig returned the call the next day. we scheduled a call for the following day at 8:30am

Craig promptly took the call as scheduled.

When you 'interview and attorney', you are determining their qualifications to represent you. As a prospective client beware of the practice this firm uses to charge you before either of you can determine they can take your case.

Don't fall for the 'doctor analogy' sales pitch of 'a doctor wont diagnose you over the phone without charging you'.

Craig didn't even hear my case, or my merits of defense before he wanted me to come in and start his hourly clock. This type of sales pitch tries to get you to commit to service, before they even hear your case and/or tell you they have a strategy.

If you were to fall for this tactic, you could spend thousands only to find out that they can't properly defend you. By then, you spent money you could have invested in counsel that can actually/effectively represent you.

I told Craig that i wanted to 10 minutes to explain my case and my idea of defense to determine if he saw its merit. He declined, and gave me the 'doctors office' analogy.

If you follow their procedure you will spend thousands of dollars interviewing attorneys.

You are the client, they are selling their services to you. If they cannot give you a half hour to an hour marketing/selling their abilities to you, they're not worth it.

I include a screenshot depicting that our call lasted just under 20 minutes.

I needed a lawyer to just review a Tort Claim I was filing in Federal District Court. I emailed them, and called them, but nobody bothered to respond whatsoever. Even if they were not interested, they should have at least had the professional courteousy of responding to a potential client.
