Attorney Kelley was "retained" by me to obtain both Veterans' Administration and Social Security Disability benefits, but fails to disclose that I terminated his engagement after I learned that he had neglected and refused to file any applications for those benefits after over three months had passed, costing me over $5,000 in lost benefits. 2.Because Attorney Kelley performed no services for me, he earned no fee - yet he asserts that he was "permitted" by the Social Security Administration to collect a fee of $6,000 - deducted from my benefits. The basis of his assertion are a fee agreement and a Social Security appointment of representative form that were both signed by me at the time I retained him; I believe that his firm subsequently altered the dates on these documents, after I had terminated him, for the purpose of obtaining the fee despite having performed no services. I have copies of the altered documents available for inspection. 3. Finally and perhaps most regrettably, Attorney Kelley sees fit to disclose my personal health information in defending himself before the Better Business Bureau. This disclosure is a breach of attorney-client confidentiality as well as a violation of HIPAA. I authorized the release by the Veterans' Administration of my personal health information to him in confidence and solely for the purposes of his representation of me - which he neglected and failed to perform. His disclosure of my personal health information to defend himself in this matter isnot only wrongful, but gratuitous and prejudicial. I believe that Attorney Kelley's actions have damaged me in an amount in excess of $11,000
