I personally filed everything on my own but I'm seeing a lot of horrible stories from people filing with lawyers

I have nothing to gain from this post but im sure future applicants will find this extremely useful, especially the young ones. If you live near that city. You'll know to be cautious.

[insert city, state]

[insert horror story]

Since this is a public forum accessible by everyone, and considering that a lawyer could google their name and be linked here, i would pretty much advice against this idea. You can submit reviews on many sites that are already existing. If you feel like you know a crooked lawyer in a state, maybe yo can just list the city state where you had this encounter so others who are in the similar city/state are aware and can contact you directly for that information.

So hypothetically speaking lets say I'm an attorney and my name lands in this thread leading to me loosing clientele I might just be inclined to sue. Then again what does constitue a crooked lawyer someone who looked at me cockeyed,ssomeone who charged 3k in fees, or someone who took a down payment and moved to Peru the following day?

Just put the city and state and tell your horror story. It's up to the reader to believe you or not, but hopefully it'll help them in their decision or at least help them find tell tale signs of a bad lawyer.

Also, I feel like since DACA is new, some of us may be too harsh on specific encounters we may have had. Perhaps that lawyer is good for someone else (ie deportation defense).

Just out of curiosity, is the crooked lawyer youre talking about someone youve dealt with for many years and your final conclusion is that theyre bad at what they do and have misguided you on several accounts?

Also, City State sounds good to me ATM. Maybe you can update your first post with City and State of Lawyers and the username associated so that someone can search/contact them directly.

Give them a bad review on Yelp, bro. People might act like they don't care, but they care so bad. I went to an immigration lawyer once and he offered me some basic advice and then suggested a few times that I leave a good review on Yelp.

I usually post frowning faces on their facebook timeline.

That's also very effective. It's been known to reduce clientele by 25%.
