I called Tom Shie to get advice on a a matter regarding an income tax offset, because his specialties include "tax law." As I talked to him, it was clear he didn't know much about the subject at hand. When I asked him his level of understanding on the offset process, he admitted knowing "nothing about it."
Apparently, now I'm getting a bill in the mail for Tom offering no advice, and no service whatsoever. I'm passionate about ethics, and I believe it is unethical to send an invoice for services not rendered.
When I talked to Tom's secretary, I contested the invoice saying that Tom, under his own admission, did not know anything about the subject matter, and that I shouldn't have to pay for anything. I was then transferred to Tom's paralegal, who said, "Hi Trent, I'm Tom's paralegal. We will be sending you a bill in the mail, then." Click.
She literally said one sentence and hung up on me. I feel this is about as unprofessional you can get.

Mr Shie helped us convert a partnership into an LLC. Very professional, knowledgeable, and punctual. I have referred friends to Mr Shie as they were starting a small business.
