Elizabeth Quigley

If there was an option for 6 stars, I would give that. Attorney Quigley was my lawyer on two occasions, one that involved my late husband and his rather nasty children who encouraged him to change his will in their favor. Her extensive knowledge of the law and finance, as well her understanding of... the emotional toll this situation took on me makes me recommend her as a highly professional attorney. Five friends and colleagues engaged her to represent them in very complicated cases...all with outstanding outcomes. And as an aside...her fee structure is reasonable in light of the results she produces

This excuse for a lawyer is only in the occupation, to fatten her pocketbook. She talked me into paying her a retainer, to handle my divorce issue, saying it would be less expensive for me, than to pay her outrageous hourly stipend. Then instead of negotiating with my ex to get me the deed to my h...ome- she filed a stay, supposedly to give me extra time to negotiate a more fair settlement. Then she asked for more money; saying this was more difficult than she had anticipated. I paid but smartly made her write on the agreement, that this was for FINAL completion of my case. After paying that amount, she did nothing helpful for me and sadly, did many detrimental acts. Then she told me about another client who got tens of thousands of dollars, in her divorce settlement, thanks to great legal negotiations, and that the same could be done for me, if I paid more money. She said I should be happy to pay her more, if I would be getting so much more as a divorce settlement. She looked me in the eye and said "I'm not like most lawyers - who just want your money. I get down in the foxhole with you and fight" Unfortunately she didn't mention that she'd be shooting AT me, unless I paid her more money. I'm writing this, in the hopes that someone else could avoid the more than a year of hell that I went through, because I stupidly did not research her background and her past reviews; before hiring her.

2015. My ex hired Ms Quigley in our divorce case. As most of these situations go, this was a very traumatic and painful time for our family. While the relationship between my ex and I was very contentious, we did decide to sit down and talk before our final court date to try and communicate better fo...r the best interest of our child. While doing so we discovered that Ms Quigley was playing us against each other. She told me he wanted $6500 cash from me. (I represented myself) I explained that I did not have that kind of money and asked her to speak with my ex to see if we could work something out. She came back about an hour later and said that he was insisting on it and was going to ask for more child support than our original agreement. According to my ex, this was a bold-faced lie by Ms Quigley. In my opinion she was trying to stir the pot to line her pockets. Furthermore, she STRONGLY and several times suggested that I not sign anything on our initial court date. She went to my ex and told him that I was holding things up and because of that she wanted $2000 more dollars. Very unethical. She is also extremely rude and unprofessional. She has a habit of trying to be demeaning and rolling her eyes. Very disrespectful. She lost my financial statement and each time we met she acted like it was the first time. My ex said that she frequently seemed confused about his case and was very disorganized. Furthermore, when I did confront Ms Quigley about playing us against each other for her own monetary gain, she threatened me by saying she was going to file a complaint with the judge. This woman is one of the reasons lawyers have their horrible reputation.
