Aaron Matthew Makofka

This attorney failed to inform me on the status of my case nor provide any type of plan or strategy for a sucessful or favorable outcome and after I paid them in full up front $3,000.00. They sat on my case for 14 months. Then afterwards, qouted me $5000 to proceed and then sent me a bill for $1400... that said I do not have to pay, imagine that. They, the brother and him, worked hard on my case, not. They negotiated a settlment in three months with the opposing parties consel that covered one of the many points I'm seeking relief from the courts for . The settlement covered one of my points and gave concessions to the other party that I did not agree to nor see would fit my situation any better than where I was at . The attorney used language during our conversation that belittled me. After I refused to agree to their proposal they sent me the same exact settlement agreement five months later and acted like it was brand new news. In the end they wanted to me to agree to pay my ex-wife $30 dollars a month (towards a joint debt that I was awarded to pay during our divorce since I agreed to take on the debt that was awarded to me by the courts) in order to be awarded two extra overnights with our child during the school year and the "right for first refusal", which I didnt ask for nor think it would fit our situation as the mother is a high conflict co-parent. I hired this lawfirm to aid me in contempt, mod of timesharing and child support. Nothing was accomplished during his leadership and the case continues pro se, the way it came to them. Be careful of family law attorneys they know the system is rigged in their favor as attorneys and they are just happy with the system and will tax any litigant that comes their way just as much as the system is taxing everyone on it already! One red flag I notiticed up front when I asked how do they handle invoice and statements, they do not have a system for billing other than send the bill and jack it up!

I couldn't have found a better attorney. Anything I needed, he took care of right away. Everyone he recommeded for my divorce, (social investigator, mediator, etc.), was very good. He always made me feel comfortable, and is very understanding and caring. Hopefully I will never have to go through a di...vorce again, but if I do, Aaron will be the first I call.
