Expensive, Unavailable and Poor Representation

Attorney Laura Keene did not familiarize herself with my case even though she demanded thousands of dollars of retainers every few months which I paid. After several months she threatened to drop me as a client knowing I was receiving no spousal support from my husband. She was assured payment at the... end of the divorce from the assets report, I requested she file for spousal support from day one but eight months passed by when her financial assistant told me to hit my friends up for the money! In court, I felt she was extremely unprepared confusing my paperwork with my husband's paperwork. She even dismissed witnesses without consulting me first. I had no knowledge of their release until she called the case to an end. I was very unhappy with her poor performance and did not feel she represented my best interests! She was not readily available to meet with in person as I had to go through secretary's and her personal assistant. I would strongly advise others to pass her by.

Stereotypically ineffective

Laura did not represent me well in my hearings following divorce. She was unfamiliar with details of my case and admitted that she began preparing for our hearing the morning of. She would not talk to me afterwards about the outcome.

Worst Divorce Lawyer Ever! Does not adequately represent her clients, DO NOT HIRE.

DO NOT HIRE THIS WOMAN!!!! Huge waste of money. Does not fight for your rights or advise you of where you stand, just pushes out a document here and there to keep the fees rolling in. Pointed out several grave issues in my case, providing her the documentation to act upon it and she did NOTHING. H...ad to hire a REAL attorney at the last hour to try and salvage what Keen mucked up. Refused to take my calls to discuss issues and settlement offers - hides behind scanned letters via e-mail which are curt, condescending and rude.
