Would not recommend

Mr. Dember was hired to represent me in a child custody case. Not only was he rude and disrespectful towards my mother and I, he also made it evident that he was not on "my side". Mr. Dember told me that I was "stupid" for requesting additional parenting time and told.me that if I was to go in front ...if the judge that "I would lose". He didn't care that I am the mother, or that I have been the primary parent. I do not believe that I was properly represented. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Replied last February 23, 2018

I am sorry to read this harsh review. I do not believe it to be fair. We were retained on January 16, 2018 and prepared for the Custody Hearing in which both parties sought sole custody. The Hearing was scheduled for February 4, 2018. We spent almost three hours negotiating the return to shared parenting which the client had previously enjoyed. We also obtained reimbursement for medical expenses [past, present and future and a sharing of the insurance premium for medical coverage]. The client had not seen one of the children for many weeks and was quite stressed. The client was upset that the reunion with the child was going to be at 6:00 pm that evening rather than immediately after we left the Courthouse at 3:30. I did not feel it was in the client's best interest to void the agreement because of this delay and said so. I believe the client may feel differently after time to reflect on what was accomplished in so short a time frame and without leaving decisions to the Judge.

losser's attorney

hired him for tax appeal using my employers legal plan. Refused to take any input during the tax appeal. Kept telling me why, how we are going to lose the appeal or why we don't have the case. Ultimately i decided to go with his comparable for the appeal as he would not accept the once i was suggest...ing. Did not tell me he was going to make me present the entire case to appeal board. His partner did not said single word other then to introduce me as client. Wont say single thing to counter appeal board argument or direct me what he want me to say, I was caught totally off guard doing all the defending of the comparable chosen by him. I lost simple appeal where assessor had priced my home higher by 40K then what i had paid, with mistakes in assessment by putting incorrect information. We would have just pointed that mistake to the board and we would have better shot at winning then hiring this guy.
