Despite multiple follow-ups and providing all necessary information, the attorney failed to perform the required legal work over the course of three years. As a result, I suffered a financial loss of [$Amount] which I paid as attorney fees. I have already filed a complaint with the California State Bar and seek reimbursement for the fees paid due to the attorney's failure to fulfill their obligations.
