Total Joke
DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!!! These people are not good at what they do, at least not in my case. Call an attorney that actually help you, not file your paperwork, then violate law and leave you with no representation, without any warning, after you've fully paid for the services. This forced me to reta...

Replied last December 29, 2017I'm sorry you are upset. Divorce is hard enough without additional stress. I know, I've been there. I can only think of two reasons why you'd leave such a poor review. First, you're not my client, and you left a review that was not for me. That's happened a few times. Second, your spouse ended up not being cooperative and as a result, we could no longer help you. That happens too. I am very upfront and honest about the type of cases that I handle: uncontested divorces where both parties are cooperative and willing to sign all divorce paperwork. I don't handle contested divorces for any reason. I provide limited scope legal services, not full-service legal services, and there's nothing illegal about it. It's actually how I can obtain a divorce for my clients for only $219 including court costs. Otherwise, I'd be charging the big bucks that other attorneys charge. Again, I'm sorry that you had a bad experience. I'd be happy to discuss your experience further if you'd like to contact me apart from this review forum.

Easy and Inexpensive
I had my doubts about how this process would work and in the back of my mind was prepared to have to hire a "real" divorce attorney and spend thousands of dollars. This was the best experience I could have hoped for in light of the situation. Everything went exactly as I was told it would. I wou...
