Posted by Richard Mears | February 04, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody
Possibly an Attorney with children next time.
My child’s mother left the city of Philadelphia after getting evicted along with her cousin and his girlfriend, went and got pregnant again, then went and told a city I don’t live in she was being abused and threatened. I contacted Ms. Jeanne and although she sounded like a stand up attorney before c...

Replied last February 05, 2022I am sorry you are unhappy with my representation. If you need further clarification regarding my responses to your emails or if you have any additional questions about custody law or court procedure that are too lengthy to discuss by email, or if you simply have an issue with me personally, you may always use the scheduling link to schedule a one-hour Zoom or phone appointment for which you would not be charged a fee since unlimited client meetings and correspondence are always included in my retainer fee. I find it odd that you would choose to bash me on public forums like Avvo and Google without first contacting me to discuss how you perceived your case was being handled. Are you upset that I did not help you become a legal expert, that I was too honest about what facts I consider to be the most relevant in custody litigation, or that litigation can get expensive when one of the parties does not cooperate or abide by the court order? From my perspective, I thought I did a good job by facilitating a withdrawal of the PFA filed against you and subsequently obtaining an order for custody rights that you did not have prior to my involvement. I can understand your frustration that you share a child with someone who may not be honest and who may pick and choose when she wants to abide by the court order, but I do not have the authority to personally enforce the order, I can only file petitions on your behalf to modify the current order or to seek to have her held in contempt for violating the order. If you no longer wish for me to represent you, please contact me and I will forward a form to you to complete which removes me as your attorney of record with the court. Alternatively, if you would like to discuss my continued representation moving forward then please schedule a phone or Zoom conference at your convenience.

Though I'm sure every case has it obstacles, I believe I'...
