Family Law Issue

I have had several lawyers in the past. I retained Ms Quattrone for a family law issue. As nice as Melanie is, she was by far and away the most unqualified attorney I have had. She was not knowledgeable about the situation legally, gave me very poor advice and was not aggressive in my defense. ... Ms Quattrone cost me both financially and personally because of her inadequate representation. If I knew today what I know now I would not have retained Quattrone FamIly Law.

As an attorney, I am constrained by the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar from responding in detail, but I will state that it is my belief that these comments present neither a fair nor accurate picture of what occurred. It is my practice to thoroughly discuss options, and the potential benefits and/or risks of each, with my clients throughout their family law process.

Very knowledgeable family law attorney

Melanie was a great help in my family law matter. Her office kept me up to date on all status changes for my case and simplified the whole process.

Terrible Experience

I hired Atty Quattrone based on the reviews on this site. I finalized the retention paperwork the week before Christmas and was told I should have something the next week. The next week I called just to find out she took the week off. Ok, no big deal, I get it. I did not receive the first documen...t until Jan 10th, so close to 3 weeks. It took another week to get it the way we discussed. I sent a message asking if the documents had been sent to my ex for review and received no response. I found out 4 days later that they never sent him the paperwork. When I told her that I wanted my money and paperwork back so that I can move on, all I got were excuses for not doing her job. We went back and forth arguing before I finally called the Bar Association. It was not until I told her that I did this that she finally sent me my information back. My new attorney informed me of a parenting class that Ms. Quattrone never told me about in the 1.5-month timeframe that I was working with her. This other attorney also got everything done in about a week including getting everything filed. He showed me it was possible. Atty Quattrone clearly does not care enough about her clients to take care of them appropriately.

I’m sorry that you were dissatisfied with the time frame of your document preparation. I do care about my clients and strive to provide personal attention and timely service. In family law, strong emotions and turmoil are often involved. Circumstances can arise and change rapidly, which sometimes require diversion of my attention to urgent matters. It was not my intention to make you feel unvalued as a client, and I assure you that you weren’t. I appreciate your feedback and will keep your comments in consideration as I continue to work hard on behalf of my clients. I wish you and your family the best.
