Howard B. Arber

Mr Arbor was retained by my then wife to represent her in a divorce which I initiated and that my lawyer did all of the work. He consistently didn’t respond to my lawyer who was seeking input to the divorce paperwork that was being drawn up. After multiple non returned calls or emails my lawyer info...rmed him that he was submitting the documents to the courts. At that time the required QDRO was due to be submitted but nothing was done even though it was listed in the divorce paperwork. Fast forward 25 years later and I have attempted to retire but couldn’t due to the missing QDRO. Almost two years ago my now ex-wife contacted him again to retain him to do what was supposed to be done prior to the divorce. When dealing with this whole QDRO issue he moves like a glacier, barely responded to even the company he retained to do the quadro, he failed to include all the relative retirement assets that needed to be in the Quadro. I became involved in attempting to get the QDRO approved and submitted all the checklist retired documents and all he submitted was the incomplete QDRO 6 months after it was completed. The judge rejected it due to the late filing and requested a show for cause as to why it was so late. He verbally assaulted my ex wife when she attempted to get him to act in a timely manner and wanted more money for doing basically nothing. I would not hire this lawyer if he was the last one on earth and from the reviews I have read he has a pattern of this behavior.
