Sabine S. Boulware

If I could give a zero star rating, I would. We hired Sabine Boulware for a child custody case. It was stated in another review that she does not represent adults, but that is not true. After our initial consultation with her where she presented herself as an educated professional, she failed us in ...every sense. She failed to communicate with us and explain procedure, she did not show up for meetings, she did not return calls or emails, and most importantly did not submit any of our affidavits, evidence and paperwork to the courts. We were charged for all of these things even though she did not do them. Our bills were over $10,000. We were under contract with her for 9 months and we saw her 2 times; at our initial meeting and at our eventual hearing. We filed a formal fee dispute and received all of our money back because of her "egregious misconduct" but this took many more months. Needless to say, we have a new custody case in motion with a different attorney at a different law firm. This has taken so much extra time which is extremely upsetting especially because a child is involved. Sabine should not be allowed to practice family law!

Anyone who had this incompetent GAL assigned to their case should file a complaint to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel. She admitted in court she never investigated anyone of the members on my side of the case. I called several times and got little to no response from her office. She has a hist...ory of misleading people. One cant help to question what her motives are I suspect she only seeks financial gain by force of a court order as a GAL.

She represents only children, not parents. The parent that doesn't end up with the children is always upset. I bet the unhappy reviewers were the ones who lost. But I know She did a great job for their kids because she cares so much. Our kids were comfortable with her from day 1. She worked continu...ously on our case and billed for only some of her work. She also let us set up a payment plan. Our kids still adore her and she took a personal interest in each one. She gave us all of her contact information and even returned calls on weekends and after midnight. She even gave us tips on helping our kids thru the rough times. She worked with the children, teachers, counselors and doctors to find out what was truly best for the children. We owe her a debt of gratitude.

This lawyer never followed up on what she was supposed to be doing. She made appointments to visit and view our situation and never kept the appointments. She worked double time for the opposing side's benefits and neglected our needs and her duties to justice and fairness. She didn't get any work d...one for us, but still managed to charge over $2k for work she supposedly did.
