Not in best interest of clients

Laurie Mullen had represented me in my child custody case. This was a complex case and I feel that she misrepresented me. This lawyer charges a 100 dollar consultation fee. Most lawyers are free. I thought i was getting a very good lawyer. Well all she did for me was make deals with my exhusbands law...yer. All togerther the cost was nearly 4000 dollars for two days in court. Now I am having problems again with my ex husband and i knew i needed another lawyer. So i met with a new lawyer and he seems that my lawyer had gone down the wrong route. Ms Mullen was very judgemental and condesending.

I am very sorry that you were not happy with the services you received. Many times in delicate family matters attorneys work together to come up with solutions that work best for your family rather then have a judge make decisions based on very little information. Clients must sign the agreements in court so I never make any "deals" that the client is not aware of or do not approve. I take great issue with being called "untrustworthy" as, after 23 years of practice, I do not have one blemish on my record. I care greatly about my clients and my reputation.
