Mr. Ziff references an "agreement for all matters", "kept no records", And "agreed as friends to $25,000."  He makes no reference to the "CONTRACT he Tricked me Into Signing".

His "self appointed" representation & "urging" amazed me!  Prior to convincing me to let him handle Carla's lawsuit, he said his wife Eleanor told him, "Bert, how can you even take one cent of Carla's money?" None-the-less, had he settled it, I was willing to pay a reasonable fee.  If in fact we had an understanding regarding his ($25,000 fee), why did he not return Carla's files?

After Quitting Carla's Accident Lawsuit, Ziff still received Supreme Court Order to be paid $25, 424.94.  No, I am not joking!

Tricked into signing Fee Agreement typed on Guardianship Petition.  Who would read a lengthy, legal document when their attorney insists you hurry and sign it because "...we are late getting over to Sammy's Court...," to fight for your childs right to remain home with you?

After failing to agree on attorney fee's, method of settling law suit (as felt by Carla's mother and I to be in her best interest), and a complete lack of competency in other legal matters, Bert decided not to pursue Carla's opportunity to seek additonal income to help offset expenses, present and future resulting from negligence in a surgical operation.

Against my direction, Bert Ziff proposed a settlement felt not in Carla's best interest
