Worst experience of my life

Retained this attorney for family law in a divorce proceeding where former wife had removed things from the home and was not allowing me to see my child. While waiting to be served the dissolution petition, my former wife filed a false police report alleging that I brandished a firearm. Two days l...ater my former wife filed a petition for injunction for domestic violence regarding the same incident she filed the police report for. The petition grossly contradicted the police report and I had witness and physical evidence supporting my innocence. We are talking about a serious allegation and in the petition my former wife was asking the courts to strip me of my parental rights. I stood the chance of losing everything. I was never questioned, charged or arrested but that police report was faxed from the sheriffs office directly to my employer. I never had to open my mouth in the injunction hering and her petition was denied. I never got to present my testimony and evidence that my former wife lied and made false allegations in an attempt to sway the courts. This attorney KNEW I was innocent and that the evidence was strong. I asked her to counter petition for court costs regarding the injunction. First I was told to wait and that it wasn't the time. My former wife continued her actions and I contacted this attorney every time. All she did was email my former wife's attorney directly. Nothing was ever resolved. In the end, this attorney never fought back and told me "go file with the state attorney's office." This attorney huffed and puffed and has done nothing but ruined my life. Justice was never served and she did not fight for what was right.. Highly recommended you avoid this attorney.

Divorce handled 6 years ago

Tina has no since for details. Everything she told me I was agreeing to is not what was going on at all and me trying to follow what she told me was the case is not how it was worded. I told her specifically I wanted something in there she told me I didn’t need to say that because it was covered and ...here I am 6 years later still being told what I agreed to is not what I agreed to at all! I tried calling her office to discuss the issues and wanted to charge me $250 and hour for her mistakes. Lawyers should have to have an insurance or guarantee policy for their services just like most businesses do. They charge more than people can afford and dont have to follow through or back up their work. It’s ridiculous and sad.

You are welcome to contact me directly at [email protected] and I will be happy to address any questions you might have - your case does not sound familiar and my office does not recall any calls from persons I represented 6 years ago. As you have done this review anonymously, I can provide no further response.

Divorce Attorney

When my divorce started I was so nervous because there was so much I didn't understand. I had a consultation with Mrs. Seifert and she calmed my nerves instantly. I immediately retained her. She is so knowledgeable and explains everything so thorough. She breaks everything down and explains everythin...g in terms someone not associated with the judicial system can understand. She is so organized. She made me feel like I would get a fair case with her representing me. She explained to me everything I would need to produce and get to her paralegal. Her paralegal Joanna is amazing. There are no words to describe how helpful she was to me. Anytime I had a question or concern I contacted her and she made me feel like all my concerns were her priority to handle at that moment. She always answered any question she could immediately, or got back to be in the same day with anything that she needed to verify. I always felt like I had dumb or meaningless questions for Joanna, but she always answered anything I asked without hesitation. Joanna made me feel so comfortable, even in a divorce. I felt like my best interest and my case was their top priority. I would recommend Mrs. Seifert in a heartbeat.

Custody of Grandchildren

It's a grandparents worse nightmare to have come to a point of filing for temporary custody of their grandchildren. After child protective services removed our three grandchildren for the second time we contacted Tina Seifert to obtain custody in order to protect our grandchildren from further emoti...onal trauma. It took three days for us to have custody papers in hand. We believe Tina was nothing less than a God send. It was emotionally agonizing for us, but her calm demeanor and knowledge of the law put us at ease right away. Since then, she has emailed to ask about the children, and has always been available to assist. My husband and I highly recommend Tina.

Tina was very good at explaining my legal situation in a way that I could understand, she was very diligent in getting the matters handled on time, and always kept me in the loop of what was happening. She made this as painless as a divorce could possible be.
