Jordan Erik Trager

Jordan Trager and the rest of the staff did nothing short of save my life. They took a dire situation that had me in fear of losing my family and entire world and brought it to the best conclusion I could have hoped for. Jordan was attentive and knowledgeable while expertly knowing when to utilize a ...soft touch and when to get tough. Furthmore, I never met an attorney or a firm that put their client above their billable hours. Even the billing department was understanding and worked with me. Divorce and litigation is never something you want to go through, but if you do..... Jordan and his team are who you want behind you. My children and I are forever in his debt.

A motion was supposed to be made by my counsel to win me the legal fees they seek. ( as per my attorney Jordan Trager "you have no income that I am aware of" while no one knows what if anything the court would have awarded in entering into the final agreement,representation that I would come out ahe...ad. In fact it was my belief that I would get a substantial award,even if the exact amount could not be predicted. The court right at the onset,earlier in the case awarded me 7,5000.00 9/23/2013 then on 4/18/2015 the court ordered that my ex pay them another 10,000 in legal fees. They asked for 20,000!!! In the order it states given the lack of complexity of issues in this case,lack of hearings,the ordinary nature of the settlement involving the parenting schedule,financial and equitable distribution. Simple cut and dry!!! So apparently as the non monied spouse the court felt I was entitled to substantial award of counsel fees.I am now advised by other attorneys in consultation with them that without the help of my attorneys who may or may not have to testify or affirm under oath in writing as to what they did and document thier efforts,to get me that award,as well as make a motion to post judgement. I will not be likely to be successful or as successful and it will cost me more money unless my attorneys would make that motion. My attorney has turned on me by serving me with fee dispute papers,my case is not finished, QUADRO is not done I had to hire another lawyer to handle this. I found out my divoce was final via my ex. They have my files won't releases them.. They have lied and now are suing me for 25,000 dollars on top of the 17,000 the court awarded them from my ex! Plus the monies I paid them.. And not only can I thereby not trust them with the application that I have the right to make as per the stipulation settlement,but they have told me outright they wouldn't even make the application for the 25,000. While I understand now that I only retained them through the point divorce,something that was not really clear until now to me,I still yet relied on their verbal representations and implications. I have no legal background,they on the other hand are purportedly or I would at least hope well versed on the law and knew this and had a duty to make it clear,which again they did not.
