I recently had the unfortunate experience of engaging Viken Kristapol Pakradouni for legal services, and it was, without a doubt, one of the worst decisions I've ever made. I feel compelled to share my experience to warn others who might be considering
hiring this firm.
Firstly, the initial consultation was misleading. They promised expert guidance and a dedicated approach to my case. However, once I signed the agreement and paid the retainer fee, the enthusiasm and promises quickly vanished. The communication, which was initially prompt and clear, became sporadic and vague. Emails went unanswered for days, sometimes weeks. When I did manage to get someone on the phone, the responses were curt and dismissive, making me feel like an inconvenience rather than a valued client.
Simple documents were filled with mistakes – misspelled names, incorrect dates, and missing information. These are basic errors that a competent paralegal, let alone a seasoned attorney, should never make. Each mistake required corrections and resubmissions, costing me valuable time and additional fees.
I was consistently overcharged for services that were either not rendered or grossly overestimated. There were numerous instances where I was billed for phone calls and meetings that never happened. When I raised these discrepancies, the firm was unapologetic and reluctant to rectify the errors. It felt like they were more interested in milking as much money as possible from me rather than providing honest and fair legal services.
Court filings were often late, which not only delayed proceedings but also put my case at a severe disadvantage. Their lack of urgency and attention to critical timelines demonstrated a profound disregard for the gravity of my situation.
I strongly urge anyone in need of legal services to steer clear of Viken. There are many reputable firms out there that value their clients and provide the quality of service one expects when dealing with legal matters. Save yourself the frustration, time, and money, and look elsewhere for competent and reliable legal assistance.
