False info, poor counsel. Do not hire!

Gave false info and poor counsel to line pockets. Advised me to motion for a jury trial, assured it wouldn't happen and was merely a "delay tactic," then proceeded to bill me over $20,000 for "jury trial prep" but never prepared me or any of my witnesses for testimony. I had no idea what questions he...'d ask me, or how to respond to opposing counsel's questions. Did not prepare a closing argument and had to speak extemporaneously, which was poorly done. Didn't tell me that my character affidavits were inadmissible in court unless the person was called as a witness UNTIL AFTER court. Said my child support could be modified after a few months. Advised me to pay the full amount a few times and then petition for adjustment. The Dep. of Child Services says I must wait 3 years... Never provided me a list of submitted evidence in advance of, or during, court. Billed me for document prep after court ended, and when I requested said docs in writing, he ignored me. He deposed a witness for opposing counsel without telling me (I found out when opposing counsel told me). Billed me for Facebook data mining yet never produced it nor submitted as evidence. Failed to submit our phone text messages as evidence. Knowingly and intentionally entered into evidence a false and inaccurate business evaluation in order to "help" my case (which BTW it did not). Declined to hire a court reporter, without asking me for my opinion on the matter, and as a result my testimony was mis-remembered and mis-quoted by the judge in his "decision" including most importantly, how much I earn, which the judge used to determine my income and child support erroneously. Billed me for weekly case update / debriefing meetings even though there were multi-month-long periods where nothing was happening, including over a month when he was "out of office." Lied to me about custody division. Told me during mediation, and afterwards leading up to arbitration, and again after arbitration, that 60/40 custody was the best I could get, because "the court can't issue true 50/50 custody" because "someone has to be the primary guardian in order to determine child support." This is false. I could have gotten 50/50 custody in GA.

Big money, low results

Hired Siemon for just a parenting plan adjustment, turned out to be one of the most expensive (and worthless) things in my life. I initially wanted to hire Mr Edwards as my attorney and a couple days later transitioned to Ramses Frangie which should have been my first red flag. From the beginning I w...as sold ideas that they would be able to help me out. We spent months back and forth and came up with a very generic parenting plan, which seemed to have taken a very short time to document. Then a lot of downtime in between, (they bill you for every last minute of their time) They include these "team meetings" each time and bill your card every time. Once mediation time came, I was more prepared then my representation time. I spoke more and he seemed to just be there, not really making any true changes. He was completely defeated by the opposition and seemed unprepared. These cases seems to be the least of their priority and I never really felt like they truly cared about my case. I honestly regret my decision and I really wish it was different. If you want to spent you hard earned money on a law firm that will not really care about your case and give you results, here it is. Overall I received mediocre results for a HUGE price tag.

Fabulous

This is a fablous company, they actually seem to care about how you divorce turnsout. From day one I felt like my lawyer was there to help, not just take my money. They did take some of of money, haha. But they saved me a lot more than they got paid. I would highly reccomend this firm.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jul 23

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse Sam Siemon. I have known him for years. I have had him and/or his firm on the opposite side of several cases. Sam knows when to work towards settlement and when to gear the case up for trial. Working with him saves everyone money because we are able to focus on the issues in the case rather than argue about the rules of engagement. His practical approach to cases helps to reduce the cost of the overall divorce while still being a zealous advocate for his client."
