Posted by Jackie | April 22, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

You are Just a Dollar Sign

I regret hiring her and the same things happened to me that happened to the previous two posters. She took my money in September 2014 and my case did not go to trial until September 2015. I understand the legal system takes time... a lot of time. But when I was at trial that day she did not even know... who I was because she had not seen or spoken to me in a YEAR (I had to wave her down and she then told me she did not remember what I looked like. This is NOT something you should tell your client). The only person I ever spoke to was Victoria (the secretary/assistant). The attorney's team made errors on the documents and my case almost got dismissed. You will never speak to the actual attorney you paid for unless you go to court and she has to be present (and she may not remember who you are). We won my case and she fell off the map completely after that and I never got compensated, so I called their office and nobody would ever return a call. Then the attorney could not even call me back, the receptionist called and told me that my case is closed (uh, what??) there is nothing they can do for me. After almost 2 years and a bunch of disappointment I now have to "hire another lawyer" (their words) or try to figure this out myself. I definitely do NOT recommend this lawyer unless you want to waste a lot of time, money, never get told what is happening with your case, and never even speak to or see her and get treated like you are just a dollar sign.

Highly recommend!

Aimee is a great attorney and a wonderful person. She was very approachable and welcoming to me however after seeing her in court, I am definitely grateful she was on my "side". With Aimee's help I was able to terminate the rights of my daughter's biological father paving the way for my fiance to b...e able to adopt her. Aimee took the time, many times, to speak with me and calm my nerves regarding my case. I am so grateful to Aimee for helping me give my daughter the best future possible.

Slow and unprepared

I actually hired Aimee for a custody case in which I was trying to obtain full custody instead of joint that was in place. Paperwork took forever to be written and filed and served. When that finally happened, I kept asking and asking when she would get us into court. It dragged on for months and mo...nths for seemingly no reason. I know courts are slow but there seemed to be no attempts to get a court date. All of a sudden, she started speaking to the attorney on the opposing side and trying to strike a deal with him and my ex without my consent. I wanted to get into court. She kept saying that settling out of court was faster and would be better but my gut told me we needed to be in front of a judge. Aimee sent me custody proposals from my ex's attorney via email and kept encouraging me to take them. Each one had another and another concession on my end until finally the custody was so convoluted and far from my original goal that I gave up. I had payed her so much that I didn't have money left to hire another attorney to take over. To be clear, when I first consulted with her she said I would have no problem getting sole custody. I am not a drug abuser, not a child abuser, have no criminal record at all, not even speeding tickets!! I am a great mom now and was when I hired Aimee. Before I paid her she convinced me we would have no problem in court or with custody. After I paid, she was lazy and I guess decided court was not her desire. Never mind what her client wants! I was highly disappointed and walked away broke and lost miserably. I am writing this now (a couple years after I hired her) because in those years I found a great attorney who gladly took my case and got me my kids back! So I know it was possible and I just hired the wrong person. It's way too bad my kids had to go through two more years of a bad situation with their dad while I saved the money to hire another attorney and properly get the case handled the way it SHOULD have been with Aimee. Beware of any attorney who promises you your cake and to eat it too. In retrospect, I would have asked her to be honest with me about how hard she planned to work and what she thought the worst outcome could be. Not just assume that she would have my interests as a priority only to let me down in the end. After all, custody cases involve the lives of innocent children. They are not just business deals. Aimee is nice and funny and very pretty but I was blinded by all that and got taken.

Would not recommend

I consulted with Aimee and went over in detail all issues I was having pertaining to my custody order. I was wanting to file a Motion for Contempt. We discussed all options and what i would need to do to present sufficient evidence in court. We also went over options for filing for modification of su...pport. I paid the consultation fee, she took detailed notes of my issues, copied my paperwork, and qouted me costs for the contempt and modification of support. I was working on gathering information and evidence for my case, and also trying to come up with the fees to retain her. A couple of months after the consultation I received a letter from Aimee's office. Initially I thought it might be a follow up letter. When I opened it, it was a court summons and she was representing the opposing party. I then had no choice but to consult with another attorney, pay the fee to consult, then retain them. I am not sure if Aimee failed to realize she had consulted with me prior to the opposing party, but her lack of ethics and organization in this matter was unexcusable.

The BEST of the best!

Aimee is not only a great attorney shes an amazing person as well. She has put her whole heart into our case. Her and her staff have been amazing and so helpful in every way. We are not done with this case its still ongoing but I have 100% trust in her and so does my whole family. Our case is very di...fferent and is complicated bc I had not hired her to begin with and the other attorney made a mess of the case but Aimee is fighting tooth & nail to fix it. My children absolutely adore her. She for sure puts her all into every case and you will not be disappointed with her!
