Do not hire - my opinion
While the divorce system is basically broke and the attorneys will always win. Barbara was the worst.... She drained all money that was given to her and when fired she made sure she burned through every nickel in the last several days. She was terrible and unprepared in court and had no idea of wh...

Replied last January 20, 2021My brief two-month representation of Mr. Smith ended in August 2019, at which time he sent me a cordial e-mail stating, “I am following up to my voicemails from yesterday and this morning and again want to thank you and your office for the hard work you have done on my case.” This was just one week after I prevailed on his behalf in court. Throughout their divorce case, Mr. Smith and his wife together utilized five different attorneys, three of them retained by Mr. Smith. Their divorce was not finalized until December 2020, some 17 months after my representation ended. Clients are always welcome to call me directly to discuss any concerns they have. All clients are provided monthly detailed billing statements, and I do not charge to discuss billing questions or concerns. The legal process can be difficult and stressful, and I, along with my staff, are committed to achieving the best possible outcome for our clients. There will always be those who point blame at everyone else, even those who try the most to help them. Barbara E. Keon
