Respondent's Counteroffer Hide
The claimant's settlement terms were rejected with the following explanation:
  • I disagree with the explanation / grounds provided

    "Mr. Jackson came into my office and signed a contract with me. I agreed to file his divorce case.

    He also agreed to bring his wife to my office to sign a waiver. They have called a number of times and she was not happy.

    I think one of two things; he is trying to show the wife he never really wants to file for divorce or he found someone cheaper.

    The case is accepted on a retainer basis and the funds he paid vested to me and I did as he instructed. I also never charged him 2800 twice, only one time."

This claim will remain posted until resolved.
