Not responsive, unprofessional

I cannot in good conscience recommend Attn. Tigue for anyone who needs fast resolution. I retained Stephanie to assist with my divorce and child custody and initially (after my retainer of 2500 was paid) she was responsive. However as time went on it would be days before she returned calls or emails,... she did not take initiative and I often had to prompt her to get things done. When the safety of your children and assets are involved this is not acceptable. When I asked her to assist with child support I was required to pay a separate retainer and she was responsive for a day and then went back to ignoring my questions. I have had to show up in court pro se because my own attorney never responded. I asked for an itemized bill at least 15 times and never received one. I chose Stephanie based on a recommendation of a friend and they too are experiencing the same issues. She seems very nice however I truly would never recommend that anyone retains her.

I am disheartened that you would resort to an online negative review to express your thoughts without first attempting to speak with me directly. I would be happy to take this discussion offline, however I am constrained to reply to what you have already posted. You posted anonymously, but were easily identifiable given your misconceptions. I feel I owe it to my clients to respond. You retained our services for Divorce only, NOT custody or support. I explained that all collateral matters are not covered by your retainer, and I cannot represent a client in a matter for which I have not been retained. Moreover, you requested at least six office meetings to discuss the status of your Divorce, or just to vent, even when advised that we had submitted Discovery requests and were in the waiting period allotted for a response. These repeated meetings consumed a large portion of your retainer, however I obliged because it was what you needed. After multiple discussions and explanation, however, you insisted on an approach that was not legally feasible, nor recognizable by the courts, and did not wish to take my experienced advise. I will not allow a client to force a progression in their case that is not in their best interest. I also strive to not waste client funds. Additionally, you were sent no less than four itemized invoices prior to your 11/19 post, so again, I don’t understand where you may have gotten confused. These issues could have been easily rectified prior to a negative review which is wholly inaccurate. Nonetheless, I wish you the best.

Excellent Choice

I have been very pleased with Attorney Tigue and her work- she has been able to navigate me through a challenging divorce and custody agreement. I would not hesitate to recommend her for anyone needing legal representation. She has been very responsive and returned calls and my emails very quickly.... I appreciate her counsel and professionalism in my case; it has been hard for me not to be guided by emotions through all of this, and Attorney Tigue was the clear voice of reason and logic,which has given me a great deal of peace when I had very little. Thank you very much!

Outstanding Service!

Stephanie was very professional and on top of every situation that arose during my divorce. She fought hard for me and my daughter to do what was right. There was not one moment that I questioned her being the right person for the job. I would recommend her to anyone seeking legal help!
