Thomas Michael Joachim

my name is Stacy, I hired this lawyer to help facilitate a custody matter so in a timely fashion before the holidays. I was told he would setup a meeting with me and my ex boyfriend to discuss the terms of our settlement. a month went by with no word! I finally called back and was told the paperwork ...with the details for the meeting date was NEVER EVEN SENT! my ex blamed me for keeping our child away from him due to his LACK of communication. He adviced at one point that I did NOT need to allow my ex to see our daughter at all (we have a standing order in place) and due to family issues I thought this was the correct advice....BOOM I am hit with a contempt order by my ex for failing to allow visitation. I was told he would also help out with my support order....he NEVER APPEARED IN COURT! My ex won the case and I am now awarded $0! nothing. I truly believed the things he said but I am naive and not exactly used to court systems. things spirialed out of control at this point and my ex wishes to give up rights. this lawyer gave me ALOT of advice, NONE of it was worth the money he took! I am a single mother I need help and I explained everything to him...he simply didnt care. it was all about money IMO! I have so much anger inside towards him but I have to keep my cool and just warn anyone to PLEASE PLEASE do not trust this dirt bag! he caused MORE damage than he helped!
