PLEASE DO NOT HIRE

I hired this guy over a year ago for a simple uncontested divorce. After 10months he decided mediation was the answer. Another $2500. I gave $1000 with the remaining in 30days. Mr. Rathel decided he did not want to go to mediation and withdrew from the case before I could make final payment. He had... his phone person leave a message for me while I was working that he needed $1500. in 12hrs or he was withdrawing. Meanwhile he had already notified the wife's attorney that he withdrew from the "SIMPLE DIVORCE". This guy is the ultimate LOSER. He is an embarrassment to his children.

WORTHLESS money down a rat hole

Mr. Rathel did nothing except collect a $5,000 fee. Came to mediation completely unprepared and I did 90% of the talking and negotiating myself. Failed to file required paperwork on my part or do any discovery or background checks prior to mediation. Ex -Wife lied in mediation regarding income and jo...b status and when I brought this to Mr. Rathels attention after the divorce he was willing to pursue this fraud for you guessed it another fee. I am currently 1 year later cleaning up the mess Mr. Rathel caused. By far the biggest waste of money I have ever experienced. WORTHLESS
