Awful experience

Absolute awful experience. In 2023 when my wife and I decided divorce was the only answer for us. I visited this law firm. It was sold by TJ who convinced me of how great they were. I should’ve shopped around. I know I should’ve but I felt comfortable with TJ. Now back it up, a second, when I first c...alled the law firm I was looking for Vera since her name was on the door, but she told me she absolutely could not stand the opposing Cynthia Hall, and that wanted to hand me off to TJ because he had experience litigating with her. So I decided to stay with him and give him a shot. He was very knowledgeable and a sharp kid so I was comfortable at first. After a while, I realized that it was hard to get him to return any of my calls or emails. But that was OK because I was under the impression. No news is good news and he wasn’t gonna charge me to tell me nothing has changed. Two months before my pre-trial when they finally started getting my Divorce in motion, he quit the law Firm and didn’t notify me at all as his client. One of the people at her office had to call me and asked me if I wanted to stay with her. At this point in time I was so far into the trial and they had so much of my information already spent close to $10,000. I figured what the heck now I guess I get Vera which originally I thought was a good thing. Within my first interview with actually sitting down with her, I was completely unimpressed. She was very scattered had no idea anything about my case, even though she charged me to come sit with her so we could discuss it and she was absolutely not prepared. Anything that I had sent her the email that she requested she had lost. And any conversation I tried to have with her. She acted like she was completely flustered. At that point in time, I gave her the benefit of a doubt thinking maybe since her star protégé quit maybe he dumped a lot more caseloads on her which spread her thin. But its time went on.

At that point in time, I gave her the benefit of a doubt thinking maybe since her star protégé quit maybe he dumped a lot more caseloads on her which spread her thin. But it’s time went on. I started to realize more and more that I had made a huge mistake and should’ve gone somewhere else originally. She did not have any contact with me the week before the trial, stating that I would not even be on the stand the first day and this would take at least two days because the opposing council had a huge list of witnesses she needed to depose. And this was absolutely not the truth. When we went to court that morning, I was the first one called up to the stand. Absolutely no preparation from her whatsoever. And I realized why she was not prepared herself. She was scattered, was not ready for the beat down she took. Cynthia Hall literally took her apart in that courtroom while she paced around clenching her hands. I felt so let down, like I think she was looking for a safe space to go to. Everyone kept saying she’s a bulldog but maybe that was the past definitely not anymore. After spending closer to $20,000 for her total, I realize that’s money I just threw away. She got nothing done on my side whatsoever. I literally could’ve got the same decision just walking in and throwing myself at the mercy of the court. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a divorce attorney higher Cynthia Hall, if she’s not available, then get anyone else but this firm. I mean, even after the trial, my ex and her family were saying what an awful attorney I hired. They actually felt bad for me. I’m guessing, maybe she was too busy trying to run for a judge that she didn’t have time to consider my future with this divorced and what the repercussions were to my life. I’m hoping the voters make an educated decision

Vera, the best

I hired Vera's firm and had a different attorney before her. Not much seemed to be going on. But once Vera took over it was like clockwork. Emails would get answered same day, phone calls returned. A year and a half quagmire, then Vera took over and maybe a month and a half everything was tied up and... finished. Her whole team is great, I'm not going to name them all - but they were all very helpful in their own way and answered any and all questions I had. Era made the final part of the divorce move like lightning and smooth as butter. Would use again.

Very Fair

Vera was very detailed and kind in her explaining the process of divorce. I truly thought I was going to go through with it, and after 3.5 months of separation, my husband and I reconciled and we are better than ever. Since I changed my mind about proceeding with the divorce, she agreed to refund m...onies left over from my retainer (which is NOT customary). Her staff is great and very caring. I would strongly recommend her!
