This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Absolute worst experience ever

This is not a lawyer you want to employ if you don't have a fortune to spend on fees - she charged me almost $30,000 during the worst year and a half of my life - I ended up with $78 a month in alimony and am actually having to pay "credits" to a scumbag who makes almost twice what I do...they lost m...y "discovery" documents, made innumerable mistakes in financial calculations and correspondence (they are a "cut and paste" operation - one statement had some other person's name in my records) - just overall awful results - I am now bound to an agreement that in no way favors me...she is washed up and all talk, no results. Don't make the mistake I did!

Money Hungry ONLY with no results!

Always late, never speaks up for her own client, uses e-mail for everything, only calls for money, and that is constantly, very expensive for little to show if anything. She tells you how great you are and then couldn't care less if you exist or not, and 2 years later and still no divorce but 24,000... in the hole before I dumped her. Thanks Joan

Very unsatisfied with this lawyer

Joan was always late to court. Did not show up twice, made me sit there for 2 hours and never called. I was on the phone with her office, who told me she was in the court house. I even texted her phone with no response. She billed me for things she did not do, or try to do. She also hired anoth...er attorney. I was her first divorce case, and was losing due to her giving in. I did fire the firm and went somewhere else whiched help me out. It seemed the only time the firm called was for payment. The bill got to almost $10,000 with no sight of getting divorced. Example of one case is I asked Joan for my Exs financial, she said it was not filed as of 11/10. My new attorney asked for it for my Exs financials from her lawyer and received it 10/10.

Research for yourself then runnnnnn

Was refered and very disappointed... No one is happy during a divorce but you would think when you HIRE someone to file and pay for the filing and serving of divorce papers they do it but no Joan thought it would be better if my cheting husband serve me first ya that was a great idea.... $3ooo later ...and not even a court date no results...... I still have all of my paperwook and was soon passd off to a fresh out of school so called attorney that had no clue and was still learning.. The only time Joan would call me was to find out when I could give her more money... 5 and a half years later and $30,000 later finally divorced and another lawyer later finally over . You can't file any complaints on a lawyer when it involves a divorce its like they all have free reign to do what they want...
