Ungodly Expensive

He represented me in my divorce and found an unbelievable amount of different ways to charge you money. Thousands of dollars for triple copies that were unnecessary, paying a paralegal $250 an hour to carry his folders to the courthouse, charging for his time while his secretary is typing up report...s, and while you are paying for his time and her time, he's on the phone with other clients.

Expensive and not really worth it

My divorce involved only property issues, no child custody. That is until Mr. McLaren got involved. In the end my fees were more than the entire marital estate of both mine and my husband. And my child got ripped apart by the battle for custody that was entirely of Mr. McLaren's making.
