Unprofessional

I used Anne Grenier for my divorce, and had an awful experience. Twice paperwork that was supposed to be filed with the court were "lost". I was charged for her to draw up a settlement and send to my ex's lawyer. After waiting about a month for a reply, I called Atty Grenier to check and see if they... had responded. She tells me no. So I call my ex and ask why he has ignored my settlement offer. He says he doesn't know what I am talking about, he never received and offer....he even confirms with his lawyer. Atty Grenier calls me back and tells me that she forgot to send it. So she finally sends it, and charges me AGAIN to do it. She had already charged me for it even though she forgot to send it! And she charged me for the phone call to tell me that she forgot to send it!! Then the court sets a date for my divorce hearing. She does not notify me about the date at all. I find out that it's ten days away from my ex! I call her to find out about it...and she says "oh yea, I didn't even notice." Then she charges me for the phone call that I made to let her know about the court date!! After all is said and done, she waits three months after my divorce to send me another invoice with an additional $450 worth of charges!! She went back through and double charged me for emails and phone calls that she had already been paid for!! And what can I do?? It's a law firm and they didn't care one bit when I presented proof that I had already paid for those services. The attitude was pay or else. I would definitely not recommend this law firm. The process of going through a divorce is bad enough without feeling like you are being stabbed in the back by your own lawyer the entire time.

Unfortunately, this case occurred during COVID. The courthouse was closed down repeatedly. Docketing became backed up as the Court struggled to adapt to COVID restrictions. Pleadings were lost by the Court. Notices of hearing dates were not sent to our office. Opposing counsel noticed I did not receive the notice and reached out to me. I personally reviewed the bills with the client and my assistant. The bills were correct. The client and I came to an accord and we offered a very reasonable payment plan. Divorce is very difficult time but especially so during COVID.

Rude!

I called to get an appointment for a modification, I have already given this office my SSD case and existing CS/custody case, this was going to close out the custody/CS case (existing), informed her of my TBI/disability, requiring some extra help with my circumstance due to the sensitivity of my ex a...busing me, she was rude, abrupt & ended the call with disconnecting the call, not giving me a consult (which I would have paid $300 for), in the profile online it says she “specializes in stressful family dysfunction” and helps people in “stressful situations” & advocates for Children’s rights & so on… this description couldn’t be farther from the truth. She is rude, zero compassion, and whom ever I spoke to? Is NOT the person that is described to online as this “wonderful” person to represent clients in need. I wouldn’t pay for this mental distress if you gave me the $$$$… she made me physically sick & added to my stress levels.

It is my practice not to give potential client's advise over the phone without setting up a consult to thoroughly discuss the situation. I feel it is unprofessional to do so. A potential client is given this information and offered a consultation. Occasionally potential clients do not want to accept that this is my practice and I must decline to answer any questions. Consultations are always offered.

Posted by Cheryl | December 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Brilliant and dependable.

Attorney Grenier worked diligently on my custody case for over 5 years. She is a smart, well spoken and caring lawyer. She spends many hours researching her cases as well as current law practice to present the best case possible. She fights hard for her clients and maintains good communication. She a...lso makes sure the client is aware of all possible outcomes and thus does not mislead her clients for the sake of retainer fees. Over the many years she spent working on my case, she showed me incredible professional and personal support. Although my case ended up settling out of court, I went in to each hearing feeling confident that I had a well versed, well prepared attorney by my side. If you need a strong, no frills kind of attorney, I would highly recommend Anne Grenier. I was extremely pleased with her trial skills and case preparation.
