Morgan Diane Brooke-Devlin

My divorce was finalized May of 2014. Ms. Devlin was unprepared in one of our court appearances; she incorrectly filed a lis pendens, for which the judge reprimanded her harshly; I did a lot of research work in her office; Ms. Devlin joked that we were only up against a "collections attorney"; she di...dn't even fight for me to keep my dog that I owned before the marriage! I came out of divorce with little more than $20,000, the amount she said I owed for her billing; Ms. Devlin laughed that my ex-husband had to pay $100,000 for services to his "collections attorney". Ms. Devlin didn't fight for my hybrid portion of the $900,000 home; she didn't fight for anything for me, but let the "collections attorney" over take the whole divorce trial. Ms. Devlin can't even provide me a copy of the Final Divorce Decree. I was mentally broken and broke by the time the Divorce Trial was finished; I had to sell my jewelry when I had to vacate my husband's house just to have food and money in my purse. I worked hard to repay a friend who paid my retainer to Ms. Devlin, as my ex-husband cleaned out our bank accounts and left me penniless before the divorce, even conning me out of my 401K savings. Ms. Devlin has been paid in full by receiving all my tax refunds from 2013 and a final balance check. On February 26, 2015, I sent an email requesting a Fee Refund of $10,000 from Ms. Devlin, concluding her fees were arbitrary and capricious, and her results were essentially non-existent on my behalf. Ms. Devlin says I still owe her more money, yet she refuses to issue me an invoice after my numerous requests. Who stops lawyers like her from doing further damage to those of us who are already going through traumatic divorces? I was already broken and broke, however I provided her with every financial document I had to show my monetary input into the marriage. She certainly did not put 80 hours into working on my case; especially if I am sitting at her desk and in her office doing the work!!

In recent days, I required legal assistance in transferring property to a minor. I consulted with Ms. Morgan Brooke-Devlin. She rapidly took action to effect the transfer. She impressed me as well-informed and experienced. She asked questions to ensure that she understood my situation. Based on my ex...perience, I would consult her again and recommend her to others, without hesitation.
