Posted by anonymous | May 12, 2016 | Hired Attorney

Research, Research, Research!!

This attorney is somewhat knowledgeable and is known as a "bulldog," if she shows up. Oftentimes, it seemed that she had so much going on that she could not give me her undivided attention. Billing still was assessed whether she caused a delay in relaying information or had you on hold or whatever th...e case may have been. During very important times (i.e., scheduled meetings, court hearing) in my case, she was not present. Other office attorneys filled in for her because she had a more "pressing case" that she was involved in previously. A month down the road if you try to touch base with the "substitute" attorney, you'll find it's likely that they don't even work there any longer. People in the community was very well aware of this. I wish I had known as well. I often wondered if this attorney was really on my side. I have definitely shared my experience with others. Research, research, research!!!!

CHILD CUSTODY and REPAIR DIVORCE DECREE ISSUES

I understand that all attorneys either are liked or disliked by prior clients due to the outcome of the case. However, my 2000$ retainer never made it to court or even negotiations with the opposing attorney. I was charged 1037.00 for email communication after she stated she could handle all my iss...ues for 1500$. Before I released her from her services, she wanted to converse over the phone at 300$ an hour instead of email communications that are .2 or .3 the money. she never fulfilled her promises to me and received my money on doing nothing but emailing me back and forth. Nothing got resolved... I had her for 4 months with little to nothing being completed and all I got for my money was false promises and a fake knowledge over military issues within family law. She claimed she knew it all and I had to show her on many occasions that she was wrong and supply her with the Navy instructions. She was my 5th attorney that failed me... I have wasted so much money and no results due to these attorneys being afraid of my Ex's attorney and believe that she has the "JOHNNY COCHRAN" of family law.

Expensive and doesn't even work for you.

I hired Cindy Lasky to handle a divorce and child custody case. We agreed on a retainer, which I gladly paid thinking I was getting a top notch lawyer...I was wrong. I ended up working with her paralegal Desire...who was awesome however I had hired Cindy. I never once talked to Cindy again besides th...e consultation and one email. I had to constantly ask for updates as they never offered anything. I had to wait for 2 weeks for my ex to be served because and I quote the service company, "They weren't aware it was an emergency situation." The law firm refused to even contact the servers to figure out what was going on until I got upset with them. The child custody was dropped and to continue with the divorce Cindy told me I need to pay an additional 350 to finalize everything, which I paid. It took over 3 weeks to even get a court date because the assistant was "out of town", and over a month to receive my final decree because once again the assistant was "out of town." To top It off when I eventually went to court...remember I paid for Cindy, she didn't even represent me but passed it off to a different attorney. They didn't even bring the paperwork for the judge to sign to the court hearing and decided (last minute without discussing it with me, when we had already agreed to something else) to go for a basic divorce instead of settling the debt between my ex and I....and on top of everything else I still received an additional bill, and when I reminded billing that the amount agreed upon was already paid, what did I receive? Another bill. DO NOT USE. They charge way to much and won't do anything until you get upset.

Costly and inadequate

I used this firm when I was going through a divorce. She kept asking for more money over what we had initially agreed on. I didn't receive anything I asked for, it was almost as if she was working for my ex. My ex didn't have a lawyer and obviously didn't need one since I had this one. My requests we...re totally reasonable and were ignored.
