Never updated me. I would hand him massive amounts of evidence and he would file motions but not introduce any evidence, let the other party object and then not challenge their false claims even though we were sitting on mountains of evidence. It got to the point where we were having the same issue ...

I thought he was going to be my attorney then he handed me off to a less experienced attorney. She was good but not relatable or empathetic.

For conflict divorce, I recommend Atty Dough. He treated me like his own daughter. He creates balance in and out the court room. From the start, he told me to be open, realistic and stay calm. He focused on the most important issues despite the struggles in the opposition. A father figure who care...
Thank you for the kind words - and moreover, for trusting us with the most important things in your life, those amazing children. I'm (almost) as happy as you are with the result of the case - thank YOU for all the time, patience, work and trust.

Selected him based on several recommendations. After several reschedulings, the initial consult went fairly well. He promised to follow up and let me know if he could take my case. After waiting several weeks I called and sent emails. No answer. I received nothing but excuses from his office. I ...
Unfortunately, an "anonymous" post leaves much to the imagination. What is clear is that this person was never a client. That said, we regularly discuss options with clients, some of which requires that a) they provide the documents at issue, and b) a significant investment of time in reviewing those documents and research into the particular issue. What this anonymous poster seems to say is that they wanted our firm to dedicate the time and resources without ever hiring us to do so.

I used the Siemon law firm and it was a huge mistake! I would give them Zero stars if I could. I gave Doug Hassinger $7,000 cash and he said that he would put it in an escrow account. And he was billing me $350 an hour. $3,500 was to deal with a TDO my wife put against me and another $3,500 to...
I'm not one to engage in this type of forum, but it would appear that you are leaving out vital details, and intentionally giving the wrong impression. To be accurate and clear: - You have been provided with detailed billing statements, and asked multiple times if there appears to be an error, and you refuse to communicate in a productive manner. - There were two TPO matters (one with an Ex Parte Order, and one without), One Administrative action, AND the divorce action. To summarize the situation more accurately: - Three (3) Court cases against you, - One (1) Administrative action against you - Five (5) days to prepare for hearings - Ninety-three (93) text messages with you - Sixty-Seven (67) emails with you and opposing counsels - Two (2) opposing attorneys against you - One (1) Court appearance on your behalf - Four (4) wins for you. - and all within Three (3) weeks. Finally, - I cannot imagine that opposing counsel would accept payment from you or otherwise communicate with you in any manner during our representation of you, as that would be a violation of ethical rules.
"I endorse this lawyer. Doug is an overall great attorney. His devotion to the practice of law is not only seen by his clients, but also his fellow attorneys (whether co-workers or opposing counsel). He is creative and driven to provide the best possible representation."
"Douglas Hassinger is an excellent attorney. Anyone looking for a family law attorney would be fortunate to have Douglas on their side."
"Doug worked with my firm when he began his practice and I have had the opportunity to work on both sides of the table with him since he began his own practice. I have found Doug to be innovative, adept and knowledgeable. Doug has great skill at solving problems instead of perpetuating them. He provides his client with solutions in cases with hard issues and significant life-changing impact. His talents are a credit to the profession."
"Doug is a colleague in the family bar and has been a good friend for nearly a decade. In the family bar in particular, I find there are many lawyers who are overzealous to a fault, who seem to have a total inability to see the other side and understand his/her motivations, perspectives, and wants. While I'm sure it makes the client happy to know s/he has a "pit bull" on his/her side, in reality the client is not getting good service from that lawyer, and is likely to spend more money than s/he should have to spend. Doug is different, which is a rarity in the family bar. To date, I have been fortunate enough not to face Doug in a case, as I know he is a tenacious, capable litigator. But the reason Doug is great at what he does is his ability to be reasonable first, brutally honest with his clients, and adversarial only as a last resort. I would have every confidence in Doug as my lawyer that I am getting the best value for my litigation dollar. He has my highest recommendation."
