Ibarra PLC - San Francisco, California

My employer has a contract with a lawyer group, which gives me 30 minutes of a free consultation with lawyers they assign to me. USUALLY, the lawyers suck and don't help me one bit. Heck, the last lawyer wanted $700 to send a simple Demand for Information letter, when I already knew exactly what I wanted and who to send it to. (Chat GPT could draft it in seconds. I just wanted it signed by a lawyer so it wouldn't be ignored... which, so far it has been since a "low" person like me had to sign the letter.) Anyhow, THIS lawyer's office was actually HELPFUL for my free consultation! They asked for and reviewed documents and gave me good feedback. NICE!

What A scammer! the attorney Ibarra has never been in the U.S. during the entire time after I paid him the retainer, he lied about his availability for my case from day 1 and refused to come to the hearing due to his own personal business, he left me hanging and dry. So unprofessional and unethical, his staff (not the attorney) managed all the paper works. Yet I was asked to pay $500 per hour for the time he never spent. This wasn’t the worst part, after getting the retainer of $5000, he asked for another $6000 for retainer knowing there are no change on the scope of the work and knowing that we only got a few weeks to attend the hearing date. I had to find another attorney urgently and filed the change of representations. Ibarra also refused to return the unused retainer fees, he kept bumping up the bills every week after his representation was terminated. Until now, which was 3 weeks after, I still haven't got my retainer back. I am going to report him to state bar association.
If not because he ghosted, I would not have to have changing the legal representation. He charged me for that. Even with his own invoice , he should refund at least $1300 , but he has not.
Run away from him at all cost.

Total Sham firm. Horribly incompetent attorney, Mr. Ibarra. Bizarrely weird and deceitful process includes using intake forms to claim a contractural agreement. They push the form without disclosure. Force redundant, vague communications with the paralegal, with the intent of using up the retainer and delivering nothing. No ethics. Fake positive reviews,

This Attorney is a joke, has no idea of actual laws and doesn't do his due diligence on anything.

After Mr. Ibarra has done absolutely nothing but harmed my legal standings for my case, he submitted a completely fraudulent and false invoice totaling over $8,790 for work he never performed. His billing included 37 emails that were never sent, tasks that were never performed and he billed clerks time at attorney s rate. He has been unable to provide any evidence to support these charges.

I hired him under a written service agreement that covered two specific services:
1. Court Filing - which was ultimately handled by the clerk after I completed all the paperwork myself.
2. Court Representation - which he failed to provide entirely.

Within just 30 days of paying him a full retainer of $5,187, I had to terminate the agreement because He vanished, abandoned my case and became completely unreachable and unavailable after got the full payment- ignoring phone calls, refused in-person meetings, and rarely responding to emails. When he did respond, it was with vague one or two words answers that made no sense. I later discovered that he had been out of the country during the entire time and had done no actual work on my case.

Worse yet, he missed two critical hearing dates and explicitly refused to represent me in court, causing significant harm to my legal standing. As of today, he still owes me $3,855 from the unused portion of the retainer, which he has never refunded. His lack of service forced me to hire a new attorney at the last minute, costing over $17,575 and ultimately causing me to lose my case.

Despite all this, he went on to file a lawsuit against me and obtained a default judgment without ever serving me notice--an action I consider deceptive and unethical.

In my experience, the only things that Mr. Ibarra has demonstrated was extreme unprofessionalism, dishonesty, and negligence. I strongly advise others to exercise triple cautions before engaging his services.
