I had a very disappointing experience with
Richard P. Busse Attorney at Law
From the beginning, communication was inconsistent and unprofessional. I often had to follow up multiple times just to get a basic update on my case.
Most concerning, my case was misplaced for three weeks with no explanation, causing unnecessary delays and stress. Even worse, when the attorney went on medical leave, no one from the office contacted me to inform me. I only found out through the opposing attorney — which was both unprofessional and incredibly frustrating.
Deadlines were missed or poorly handled, and I felt that my concerns were dismissed rather than addressed. I expected a certain level of competence and transparency, especially given the importance of the legal matter at hand. Unfortunately, I felt neglected, frustrated, and ultimately let down by the way my case was handled.
I do not recommend this attorney based on my experience and would encourage others to look elsewhere for reliable legal representation.
Please read below the timeline of events that's the root cause to this entire infuriating experience.
The below review is documented:
I, a Marine Corps Veteran, hired Attorney Richard Busse for Probate representation on March 07, 2025 by way of a paid $500.00 retainer. As of May 06, 2025, & effective immediately, I terminated our attorney / client relationship via phone call & email due to lack of representation.
Attorney Richard Busse chose email as a primary path of communication.
On February 27, 2025, I sent via email details of my deceased parents information corresponding to Probate, case in point, Attorney Richard Busse thanked me for the information
On March 25, 2025, I emailed Attorney Richard Busse to get an update on my case & to ask a question regarding my case, hence I never got briefed on any details whatsoever during a stressful & emotional time in our lives.
On April 02, 2025, I emailed Attorney Richard Busse to get an update on my case & to ask a question regarding my case. He replied (via email) that the office was closed due to Power & Internet outages.
On April 30 & May 02, 2025 I emailed Attorney Richard Busse to get a petition / case number to my case. No response.
On May 06, 2025, Attorney Richard Busse emailed me informing that I never sent any information for my case.
Completely unacceptable to me & my family that it just two minutes to get paid & over two months for Attorney Richard Busse to let me know he had no information for my case (which he was clearly provided with).
Since May 06, 2025, I’ve been asking for a refund of my $500.00. No response whatsoever to what has clearly been an unfair ordeal.
Moving Forward, a fair gesture of a refund of $500.00 would bring a balanced closure to this melancholic experience.
I don't suggest this attorney.
As of 7/24/25 I am severing our client/ attorney relationship. I have emailed this to you and left you a phone message.
I am also requesting my $500 back.
