Reading EVERYONEs Reviews SPOT DO NOT Waist your $

I Regret the day I was told about this SO called Professional Attorney everyone’s reviews were spot on she had NO RESPECT to US the Client But INVOICES she was on top of! I LOST MY DAUGHTER in a Custody Battle with a Narcissist ABUSIVE Man ! After receiving $45,000 Plus in Atty Fees and hung the phon...e on me (Her Paying Client) Was rude and disrespectful and just withdrew because I LOST EVERYTHING over $250,000 My Retirement and Daughter ! Had she had been a Better Attorney and Defended me and was as Rude, Mean and Aggressive to Me HER Client with the Opposing Attorney Maybe she would have had a chance of being Successful. Do NOT be fooled of her Appearance ! And don’t bother she doesn’t CARE! You NEED AN Attorney that will FIGHT for you!

Scam artist

She will ghost you, I hired janet m lydon for my divorce. She had not done anything for my case, the only that she did with any passion was send me invoices. She is a scam artist. She will put you along, drain your retainer and then blow you off. She is not in it to be an advocate for others, she... is looking for a quick buck

Disreputable law firm

I would not recommend Janet lydon to anyone. Her law firm is one of the most disreputable law firm I have ever com across. They are a dishonest frim, who try to bill you for doing nothings. I am going to file a small claim against her and report it to mass of bar council

Malpractice

I don’t even know where to start, but retaining Janet M lydon was the worst experience in my life. Even worse than my divorce itself. She lied to me before I gave her the retainer. I found out she was screwing up my case, so I fired her on days 4. She only worked for me less than 5 hours, but she ove...r billed me the times she spend on my case. I asked some part of the retainer back and my case file. She refused to send me back some part of the retainer and have kept my entire retainer $3500 for herself. She is ignoring all my phone calls and emails. She also refused to send me back my case file. She has not done anything at the court for me and did not file the notice of her appearance at court. All she wants is to screw me out of my money. She is terrible, I need to file the complaint at the mass broad of bar oversees. Stay away from her law firm. She will get advantage of you when you are in the bad situation

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Lack of proper discovery and allowed opposing attorney to get Dept of social services involved among other issues.

My Ex didn't want to pay child support , thus the Department of Social Services came to visit. Upon them coming over all was great. Thus my son was able to stay with me. The worst part is Janet's inability to aid on discovery. My EX had over 75,000 more in his sep IRA. When I spoke to Janet and sai...d " he has taken funds out approx 25,000 thus that needs to be recorded in discovery. When I asked for my paperwork back, she neglected to give me any of his SEP IRA back. I wrote to her asking for it and she lied and said she gave it back to me. I asked her to pull the SEP IRAs again and she refused to do it. I'm sure she shredded all of his financial documents.
