Posted by anonymous | November 01, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Mediation

She will milk her clients dry

Jane Ellen took what would have been a simple divorce and turned it into a bloodbath. The only one who won in the end was Jane Ellen, because she milked me for over $25,000. We had even gone to private mediation and worked out a settlement agreement that she proceeded to blow up. My greatest regret i...s trusting her and letting her fool me into thinking the settlement we worked out was unfair. If you have money to burn and want to make completely unreasonable demands just to prolong the already painful process, maybe she's the right attorney for you. But beware, anybody who is just looking to do the right thing and move on with their life with as much of their dignity and self-respect intact. I wish I had never hired her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
