My wife hired Mr. Leinoff to represent her for a prenuptial agreement. He sent an engagement letter with proposed terms, one of which was to inform her once the retainer was extinguished. He also said that no bill meant that the retainer was not extinguished.
Mr. Leinoff didn't send a bill until the very end - which amounted to more than 6 months from the time he was engaged. Not only was the retainer long extinguished according to him, the amount he was asking for was more than his original retainer fee. My wife was shocked by the amount and attempted to resolve the situation with Mr. Leinoff by offering a very generous settlement. Leinoff offered a discount that amounted to less than 1 hour of his time and demanded the rest of the payment because "she can afford it". Never once did he explain why he failed to comply with his own engagement letter and instead attempted to enforce the terms of the same engagement letter on my wife.
I've worked with many attorneys and while not all are perfect, Mr. Leinoff is as unprofessional as it gets.

Max Leinoff is the F'n man. The man literally saved my life during my divorce and set me up for success in my future.
If you need an honest, straightforward, aggressive attorney...he's your man. Second to none.
