Divorce

I would not recommend Keri to my worst enemy. Keri did not provide adequate representation since she was more on my Ex side than my side. She also said to me when asked if she had a relationship with Mona my Exes lawyer, Keri told me, I should have asked that question before hiring her. She also sh...owed malfeasance early on during the divorce proceeding. She did not establish financial help for me early on. We had several bank accounts he received access to all and I had no access to our accounts. Keir knew our accounts were set up with my Ex as the Primary and I was the Secondary for all our bank accounts. For those who may not realize in VA, this means unless the primary person dies you as the secondary account holder are not recognized by the banking system. Unfortunately, our accounts were set you this way, and I did not understand this is a Common Wealth law but Keri M did know this. I had asked Keri to bring up under oath about where Mr. B obtained money for the down payment for his new home she avoided pursuing this question. I wanted her to show his level of dishonesty. Additionally, I wanted to know if he had forged my signature and I wanted my fair share of those funds. Finally, Keri brought up the question after several requests. In court, he revealed that he had taken money from one of our bank accounts and our Keystone retirement account for his home down payment. I was never asked to sign off for any of that money nor, did I receive compensation for this money. This was poor representation from Keri M. Mr. B. also lied on his home application, he lied on a federal document. Mr. B. put on his loan application that he was paying $1,500 per month for spousal support, this was not true. She never used that information to our advantage. Keri was not capable of dealing with a high-conflict person like my ex. High-conflict people will drag out court proceedings, mine was drug out for over 3 years. Instead, she used this to her advantage to get more money out of me. She took it to the very end and then dropped me like a hot potato. I was on a very needed vacation Keri, used it to her advantage. She requested an item that would be difficult to retrieve while I was traveling in Costa Rica in the jungle. Keir had been given ample time to make requests before I left the country. Once I returned the divorce was supposed to be almost finalized. Instead, Keri fired me, she took $40,000 + and delivered nothing.
