Replied last June 2, 2017We are sorry you had a negative experience with our firm. Client satisfaction is our number one priority. We advise our clients of their opportunities to identify marital assets by way of informal and formal discovery, the time frames applicable to the legal process, and the opportunities to resolve their case by way of litigation, amicable negotiation, and the available alternative dispute resolution processes. We also advise our clients of the time anticipated to conclude their case, and the legal costs associated with the various methods of dispute resolution. This allows our clients to make educated choices as to their case strategy. We also advise clients of our office hours, and make ourselves available after regular hours to address urgent concerns. To the extent that you feel that this did not occur in your case, we encourage you to contact us directly to resolve any areas of dissatisfaction.
