She is unreliable after first payed consulting

I never got free consulting. She asked me to pay the whole lawyer fee before the prenup review and consulting. The first consulting is fare, although she gave comments by hand-writing, so it took me extra time to read it and edit by myself. Since then she is not easy to get, she do not response to my... email for more than two days, and after I send email again and I called (she never picked up the phone, her assistant always said she is not available now, but she never called back), she finally reply my email. However her email do not answer my question, seems like she didn't read my email at all. Her email left me confused so that I have to send email again. And it's another round of waiting for more than a week, calling never got feed back.

I apologize for our role in your misunderstanding of the scope of the retainer. Perhaps the language barrier played a role in you not understanding the terms of representation. You paid a flat fee for the review of your prenuptial agreement. The prenuptial agreement was reviewed and you were provided with a consultation, by telephone, where the provisions of the prenuptial agreement were explained to you. Thereafter you asked that the postnuptial be revised and that the attorney contact opposing counsel to renegotiate the prenuptial agreement. The attorney and staff advised that your retainer did not include said additional services. As a good faith gesture, the attorney sent you her notes memorializing the comments discussed during your 1 hour consultation call. Again, we apologize for the misunderstanding and encourage you to review the scope of your retainer as outlined in the email sent to you on November 28, 2018. On November 28, 2018 you asked: Thanks for the quick response, does the $750 include everything? On November 28, 2018 I responded and said: The $750 includes everything -- the review and consultation. We were not retained to negotiate the agreement and redraft same. Again, I apologize for any misunderstanding, but when you were asked to pay for the additional services you were seeking, you expressed that you did not wish to do so.

Great job!

Ms. Anukem represented me in a family law matter in Prince George's County, Maryland. I found her to be extremely professional, prompt and attentive to my needs and desired outcomes. My favorite thing about her and her staff is their ability to break down legal concepts in terms that a lay person c...an understand. I have worked with several attorneys in the past through my divorce and other cases, however, no one ever took the time to truly make sure I understood what was really happening in my case, behind the scenes the way Ms. Anukem and her team did. I highly recommend the J. Anukem & Associates team and would certainly use them again.
