Erin D. DeGeorge

Erin DeGeorge performed sloppy work on my divorce case. She had to re draft an important document due to numerous errors. I then felt I had to review everything to make sure she didn't make more errors. She did not provide me an important email from the adversary that specifically requested I be... consulted. When I discovered this several weeks later, she blamed her paralegal even though she herself charged me to review the email She subsequently did not take responsibility in response to opposing counsel about it, which made it appear that I was not cooperating in a timely matter. This failure on her part also delayed my case and resulted in my having to withdraw from a rental deposit I had made for an apartment so I was unable to find suitable housing in my child's school district. She would wait until the last minute to advise me I needed to provide information and documents by a short deadline, but tell me not to worry, she could request an extension, which of course would delay and cost me more money. Her office even sent me documents regarding another client, apparently because we had the same first name, Left to wonder if my documents were sent to someone else. Not careful with personal information at all. The final straw was her reaching out to opposing counsel to request an extension of discovery exchange, without consulting me, and went against my wishes on the terms of the exchange. After spending $20000 in legal fees over 6 months, accomplishing very little, I had no choice but to fire her because it had become clear she was incompetent and did not care about my best interest, only racking up billable hours for herself.

She should be ashamed of herself for the prices she charges!!! They are extremely high, even for a NJ attorney! She will charge you a ridiculous amount and then your case will go to mediation before a mediator. The mediator will do all the work but she will still charge you some ridiculous amount, ...although she did very little! Also I was told the total cost of my case would be a fraction of what the total cost ended up being! Furthermore I cannot afford these inflated cost! It is very unethical!

Erin gave me the confidence that I needed to progress in my divorce. She gave me my choices in clear language and made sure that I understood every step of the process. Erin was the friend with the guiding hand that I needed. I never felt that my questions or concerns were menial. The whole team trea...ted me like a friend and I am happy with the work they did to help me. Four years later and I'm a confident, independent woman thanks to Erin.
