Shoddy attorney

Bob Stein initially handled my daughters out of state divorce. She picked him because he initially contacted her. Apparently this is how he gets business by checking various divorce filings and seeing who doesn’ t have representation. My daughter hired him and I paid him 500.00. He did virtually n...othing . She was served in August by her husband in Fl. She lives in Mo. she had approximately 20 days to respond. My daughter called and texted and emailed with no response time was ticking away. My daughter and I had a phone conference with him and he yelled at us. He did a sloppy job on the pet ion response. My daughter questioned it as did I. He again did not respond to her questions and concerns about the answer he wrote. We sent documents to his assistant and asked for a simple response as receiving it and heard nothing. So on Thursday before her answer was due the following Monday I searched for a new attorney and found one who was willing to help. The new female attorney immediately filed an appearance on my daughters behalf so that her case would not go into default. . My daughter fired Bob Stein. Lo and behold, he actually called her. He then sent her an email saying her current new attorney was not doing a good job. I told my daughter to forward the email to her new attorney who then blasted him for his incompetence. My daughters new attorney filed a detailed response protecting my daughter and within a few days she and her estranged husband came to an agreement. We expect the divorce to be finalized very soon. If Bob Stein had handled it my daughter probably would have gone to default and she would have lost everything that was hers premarital. Stay away from this lazy lousy attorney who apparently doesn’ know anything. I wonder how many complaints he has from the Florida Barr?

Professional and effective

Bob did so much to help me. He took my calls whenever I needed him and explained everything to us. He was the best lawyer we could have hoped for and I don't usually give reviews. I feel like he explained everything so good and didn't overcharge me. I would tell everyone to use him.

Enormous help, HIGHLY recommended.

Bob handled a very difficult divorce case for me. I had such a difficult time even locating my ex-husband and then I couldn't get him to cooperate. I have two kids involved so it has been very upsetting for me. I'm not sure how he did it, but Bob managed to communicate with him and complete the d...ivorce. I'm so thankful and I recommend him 100%.
