Daniel J Florey PC

Daniel Florey is a CROOK and he STOLE my money!

He should not be practicing law because he can not be trusted. I was a victim of his manipulation and he ended up swindling a large amount of money from me and he did absolutely nothing but prolong my case due his negligence. I hired Daniel after he assured me that he could guarantee a quick resolution to my pending case. Almost 3 months after I hired him, he still had not retrieved my file from my previous attorney.  I found myself constantly calling, emailing and texting him for days before he would respond. I was constantly worrying and stressed because it became obvious that I had made a terrible decision in hiring him. A few days before my court date I was finally able to reach him and I asked him had he retrieved my file and he said “No”. At that point I decided to just pickup my file and he had the audacity to ask me to drop it off to him. I informed him that I live about 45 minutes from his office and I didn’t feel it was my responsibility to drop my file off since I paid him and he had almost 3 months to obtain it. I offered to overnight my file to him and he never responded. At this point I was extremely skeptical how he was handling my case, so I informed that I would be attending the scheduled court date with him. When I texted him the day before my court date to ask what time I should meet him and he informed me that he had to be at another courthouse about an hour away from the Daley Center and he would be about an hour late which let me know further that my case wasn’t a priority. Right after he called to informed me that he was going to be late he called me back stating that he needed to reschedule my court date. I was extremely stressed out at the fact that he was not treating me with respect but instead he had manipulated me. After he was late to my first court date and missed my 2nd court date and still never obtained my file I decided to retain another lawyer. Soon after I requested a refund of my money since he knew that he took my money I was hoping he would do what was morally and ethically right. Instead he sent me a bogus statement filled with lies and bogus charges and a small refund which he called a “courtesy refund”. He spent more time preparing this fake document than he spent on my case in the 3 months that I he was supposed to be representing me.  Based on his character from this experience I knew that he would not admit to any wrongdoing nor admit to misleading me from the start. I hoping that my story helps someone and I am praying that the Illinois Bar Association find him unfit to practice law. 

Tried to ruin my credibility and relationship with my new attorney by making false statements in what suppose to be my bill stating that I said I hated the attorney. His character is unethical and unprofessional.

We did not work well together from the beginning, partially due to the fact that I was an emotional wreck after having my kids taken.  I hired him to help because I needed a lawyer quickly.  He was insulting and condescending to me.  He showed up to court two hours late.  No one seemed to be aware that I wanted to dismiss my case until after the judge had made her unfair decision.  After I fired him,  he provided me with a billing statement full of lies.  He said that he told me that the GAL may not have communicated with me because he didn’t have information due to the pandemic.  What he actually told me what that it was probably because the GAL doesn’t like me.  He said that my phone and email were not in service and that he tried calling me.  They both work fine.  He said I showed up to the zoom court meeting when they were leaving the court appearance.  Not true.  I was there early waiting to be let in.  He wanted me to thank him for a “discount” due to Covid.  The statement was almost complete fiction.  I guess he can make up whatever he wants and charge whatever he wants.
