- DO NOT REPEAT MY MISTAKE - DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY!!! - - Tatyana C. - 10/18/2015 - flag as inappropriate - comment
I retained Trey Sauls to handle my custody case in July 2014. At the initial consultation Mr. Sauls appeared to be knowledgeable and professional. Upon commencing representation, Mr. Sauls did not demonstrate any competency. E.g. I asked him to obtain certain reports for my case and he told me that it is impossible; while the other attorney was able to get these reports within one week. Mr. Sauls advised me to take some testing for the case for which I spent additional $1500, and as I found later it was absolutely not necessary. Mr. Sauls did not complete required court documentations within reasonable time, however was generous in hourly billing. Mr. Sauls was invoicing hours in access of what was actually spent and regardless of whether anything was done on the case or not, i.e. we attended the court where we spent 2 hours from the beginning to the end with the actual hearing of 10 minutes, and he billed me 5 hours. Also, Mr. Sauls continued billing me even after he stopped working on my case. The billing invoices did not come when the retainer was about to exhaust as it stated in the contract. So, when you eventually get the invoice it is already way beyond your control. As a result, I end up with the bill of nearly $17,000 in 2.5 months, just to transfer the case from one county court to the other. Eventually, I have filed for fees arbitration with State Bar of Georgia and upon review, my bill was reduced nearly by $5,000. I do not recommend Mr. Saul.

- Fraud - - - 10/3/2014 - flag as inappropriate - comment
I have waited years for a simple case to be resolved . Mr . Sauls took all of my money and did nothing in my case . I am working with the board to make him pay for what he has done to me and others. It's sad that people within the legal system can get away with such crimes .Do not use this practice or Mr. Sauls . He will never return your calls or emails . He is out for your money and nothing else . He is a disgrace to the legal system , this man belongs in jail for his crimes . I will not stop fighting until justice is served . And come to find out he is a criminal as well . His charge assult and battery . Hope he is prepared to face what he has done .

- Beware of this "lawyer". Inappropriate billing and doesn't honor commitment to clients - - - 12/5/2013 - flag as inappropriate - comment
Interesting that another person rating Trey Sauls had a similar experience to mine. Paid this con man thousands as a retainer for a simple case and we both agreed at initial consultation that he would see my case to completion for that amount. Sat on it for over a year and did absolutely nothing but make a few phone calls. One of these calls he claimed on his billing invoice was a 2 hour call with "client". Per my phone records the call lasted 7 minutes. Then when the day of court finally arrived he demanded thousands more to represent me after I had already paid thousands for absolutely nothing. I reminded him of our prior agreement verbally but he had no interest in honoring this agreement since he knew he had me backed into a corner at the courthouse. I had no more money to give him and ultimately I represented myself that day in court. One month later I started receiving dummy invoices demanding hundreds of dollars his firm claims I still owe! I refuse to be threatened by them and will likely have to go to court because I am now getting letters from a collection attorney! I am sure the state bar will find this interesting and I fully intend to file a complaint. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY! Look elsewhere for proper representation.
      - 10/3/2014 - I would like to find all the people he has ripped off and take this man to face the courts for what he has done . I will be talking with the Govenor in due time . Please anyone who has been hurt by this man ,let's ban together for a class action suit . This man will never do this to other people again . - flag

- Beware of a scam lawyer. He will take money and then withdraw last minute - - Caroline Johnson - 8/4/2013 - flag as inappropriate - comment
This attorney took money from me for 5 months and 12 days before trial tried to get $5200 additional and because I didn't have it last minute he withdrew. We had arrangements of a set amount monthly which I kept and on time, but he demanded more money last minute and then tried sending emails with lies about things I said. I recorded conversations so it will show the Gerogia bar how he lies and scams. I hope they never allow him to do this to another client.
