Go with someone else

I hired Marilyn as my attorney for the most cordial divorce ever. My ex and I actually sat down and filled out all of the paperwork together. That said, every step of the process was extremely delayed until I called or emailed to complain and magically things would progress. Of course, the other a...ttorney was blamed. She'll probably state that it was the other attorney in her response to this. So, let me provide further exemplification. Finally, the divorce documents were sent to court in May 2015, 11 months after hiring her. I followed up in July, August, and September. Finally by October 2015, I emailed that it was WAY beyond the time duration for a divorce to be processed. Again, after receiving my email, she called me to tell me that it had been "misplaced at the courthouse" and not put in her "appropriate mailbox". I'm fairly certain if I hadn't followed up, I would still not have the decree. I arranged a time and date that I'd pick up my divorce decree and pay the remaining amount owed. I arrived to her office (45 min away from me) to find the office doors locked (which was during office hours). The paralegal let me in, and I let her know who I was. She had NO idea who I was or what I was there for. Seeing how disappointed I was, she searched and some how found my divorce decree. I picked it up, and she asked how much I owed. At that time, all of the work was complete, so I should've had a proper bill waiting for me. Unfortunately, she had no idea what I owed and I paid, thinking I overestimated the amount of work, only to be billed 3 months after paying this final amount. Furthermore, upon reaching my car, I opened the divorce decree to find out I'd been divorced SINCE JULY 2015. So, if you are looking for someone professional to handle your case in less than 15 months without having to haggle them at every step of the process, I'd go with someone else.
