No good experience

I've wished I was able to read the reviews in other sites before I contacted this lawyer firm. My case was about child support and simple, I ended resolving the issue with my ex because the lacking of knowing of this firm. They charged me for being an agent of filling forms with the court, I never re...ceived an advice or an explanation from them about my case. When I had a problem, and the worse, because of them!! they disappeared, no one got my calls. Stay away from them and if you can from every lawyer, they are only good for taking your money.

Run as Fast as you Can!!!!! Are positive reviews seems a little deceiving from my knowledge!!!

Let's start off by saying that this is your fair warning, Do not use this firm as my experience was complete injustice. I shopped around and found several other firms for much less but was lead to believe that this was the firm to use at nearly double everyone else's cost....I was given the run aroun...d on what was going to be done on my behalf several times. I chose this woman because of the reviews she received but obviously they were not correct and far off in my case as you can tell. After having the free consultation and believing all these ways she would help me in getting a divorce which she ADVISED me I ended up in a worse situation than I had started. Instead of using the money I gave her as a retainer I could of used it to pay my rent and to take care of my children ect.... I Ended up having to give my children back to their father, because I had no money left to care for them after two months of her PROMISING EMERGENCY FUNDS soon, that absolutely never happened, she gauranteed my husband would get served papers which I thought was why I paid her the 4200 dollars along with emergency funds. I trusted in her word, After 2 months of her service rendered He was never even served with papers and I was being evicted from my home, I trusted her and gave her all the money I had, my whole income tax check. $4,200 retainer only to receive $1100 returned to me after I withdrew from her service because nothing was done! She basically left me to dry. I felt I was treated Unfair and taken advantage of at a difficult time. Also she charged me a half hour of my money for a email which I only stated that "I have no money please Help" I could keep going on and on but It is what it is and let's just say I learn my lesson 35 years old and I am still with my husband by the way. Not enough money to even get a divorce. And I'm glad actually in one way because me and my husband are happy again but besides that she Was no help to me at all and there are too many attorneys in that town to choose from. Good luck to anybody who uses her. I have no clue why her reviews were so high!!!! C.R.
