Extremely Unprofessional and Rude Service

Okay, I was actually looking for anything below 1 star. Finally my divorce case got approved and finalized (based on the "fees" paid). This does not mean that Law Office of Afsana Chowdhury good. I literally had to work with my spouse directly to work this out. All communications with them are only i...n "email". I had to beg to speak with someone and got rude responses from Kristine Heefner, Hiyasmin "Yas" and Afsana that we may not be a good fit for each other. They are really cheap. To ask one simple question, their answer was, "we cannot give you any legal advise until you upgrade your package". The package I chose stated unlimited communications, however it does not state that it is email only, most of which is not responded within same day. I HIGHLY URGE ALL READERS OF THIS REVIEW TO FILTER GOOGLE REVIEWS BY THE LOWEST RANKING AND WHATEVER PEOPLE HAVE SAID, I BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE TRUE. The reason I got involved with my spouse to sign the agreement beacause theie emails to my spouse appeared more threatning, rather than asking for cooperation.

Extremely helpful!

Afsana was extremely helpful and informative. She quickly understood my situation, is aware of current laws/modifications, and was able to immediately suggest a few options/paths to move forward. I would highly recommend Afsana to my friends and family!
