Damico was very disorganized and unresponsible in dealing with my case

Mike Damico was very disorganized and unresponsible in dealing with my case, he delayed my case for months and always had some excuse for it. Please be aware of your dealing with this lawyer. They play well with Erika, do not pick up the phone, and do not answer emails. In my lawsuit case, they wr...ote incorrect numbers that have put me and my kids in a very bad situation, and when I’ve reached out they told me that there is no problem and they will file a cross-motion with the correct amount. So, the journey doesn’t stop there, the second time they filed a motion did not include 6 documents that were very important to this case which I’ve sent over. I was told that they would be sent to court separated from the motion, but what is not included in the motion is not discussed with the judge. The motions were sent to me after they were submitted to the court and then it was too late to correct them. But they however did not forget to bill me for their own mistakes. After 10 months we finally went to court, Damico was completely unprepared, when the judge was asking him, he was searching for the documents and gave short, poor answers without much information. In the middle of the trial, he said he had to turn on another zoom link and he was gone for 1 hour. After the trial I found myself in a worse situation than before, the percentages we shared for the children with the ex now are higher for me, the child support did not increase even a dollar, and nothing that Damico convinced me before that he would fix has been fixed. The trial was on December 17, Damico and Erika did not send me an order at all, on January 5th they sent me an invoice that I should pay them another $ 1,905. They don’t pick up the phone, don’t answer emails just send over bills without any result or accountability for their work and performances.
