Horrible! I don’t know who I trust the least my ex or my lawyer!
This two-year battle has caused so much anxiety in my life and I still haven’t gotten a dime! Emails are never returned. Everything I fought for was left out of the agreement. I’ve been basically representing myself but still get billed $170 for every email I sent begging them to do their jobs.

Working with Lou and his team was a great experience during a not so great situation. Lou was professional, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. Lou is trustworthy and walked me through the process, kept me updated and informed. A truly great counselor.
