Aimee Elizabeth Cain

Aimee took almost $4,000 up front for a custody case. I never went to court. She actually went to the child support hearing without telling me and I ended up paying thousands of dollars in arrears that weren't even owed. She made up numbers for my income. She never even knew who I was when I asked to... speak with her. She does not return calls. EVER. She told me I had $700 in my account and when I tried to get it back, she changed her story to my case being a "fixed" rate. Please save your money for an organized compasionate lawyer.

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.

I consulted her about my child support and custody agreement with an out-of-state father. She was able to advise me of my rights and responsibilities and was also able to answer questions about aspects of my situation not related to the child support or custody case. Due to the father's military depl...oyment, I had to put off going to court, but I am saving up some money so that I can go back to Ms. Cain in the future. At the time her retainer fee for my case was $2000 and she advised me that depending on whether or not the father made it difficult and then caused the case to be drawn out over a length of time the cost could possibly go up. She even called me weeks after our consult to check in on me and make sure everything was still okay for my child and I. She was very understanding of my situation but also seemed like she would be a tiger in court.
