Replied last March 02, 2020We truly understand that occasionally there are situations where someone may not be happy with an outcome whether it be a judge’s ruling in a disputed divorce/family matter or remorse after entering into a settlement agreement. It is for this reason that we make it a practice to never guarantee or provide assurances about outcome or total cost because the outcome and the process is in the judges hands as well in the ability of the parties to resolve contested issues. Know that we are happy to respond politely and professionally to help you in any way we can. If you are having problems with our billing department or with our work product or have any outstanding issues, please feel free to email or call us at any time so we can properly respond to you and your concerns. We always address client concerns immediately, fairly and forthrightly for every client/customer.
