Burns & Iwuji

I found this attorney office in the Greensheet I had never heard of them or used them before but I thought hey its just some traffic tickets what’s the worst that could happen… the worst that could happen was Thaddeus Iwuji. After I paid the firm $ 650 I did not hear from anyone there until a week before my first court appearance (Mar 31 @ 1pm). The email I received stated I need to be there at 1 p.m. and I showed up to court at 3 minutes to one. Upon going inside of the courthouse I was very confused as to what floor I was supposed to be in or what courtroom I was supposed to be in since the email never specified either thing so I made my first phone call that day to the law office to ask the man who answered which floor and courtroom I was supposed to be in. After speaking with him me and my 3 year old son went to the second floor and went into a courtroom that was full of nothing but attorneys so we SAT there for 20 minutes and when my son began to get restless we stepped into the hallway to call the law office again and asked where the attorney was and even what the attorney looked like since I had never seen or spoken to him or her. The receptionist Lily answered the phone and said that the attorney (ms burns) was not yet there but she was on her way and she then stated that I did not need to be at court at all that day because it was attorney docket day which is why I saw mostly attorneys. I asked her if she was sure because I had received three emails to the contrary and she apologized for the inconvenience but said yes you can go home. So then I asked her if I needed to be at the court appearance. April the 20^th because I receive the email that day stating that was my next court day and I need to be there, she said she was unsure and put me on hold to ask the attorney (mr iwuji) whether I needed to be there April the 20^th. She came back to the line and said she was told I did not need to be there but he would prefer that I was there because it would look better to the judge, I agreed and ended the phone call. The next day I received two phone calls and an email from Lily stating that the attorney got the judgements from the judge and I needed to pay $ 240 for one ticket and $ 300 for the second. It was then that I asked her if it was customary for the attorney to accept a judgement on a client’s behalf without first speaking to the clients, she said she didn’t know but would have one of the attorneys call me right back. 30 minutes later I received a call from the male attorney (mr iwuji). He began the dialogue being very aggressive and rude and cutting me off everytime I tried to speak and let him know what my issue was. After being cut off multiple times and being called a liar multiple times I had enough, hung up on him and sent an email stating that they were fired and I will be contacting the State Bar Association.
