Wendy Doyle Palumbo

This attorney charges $275 an hour to do absolutely nothing. She charges for responding to email communications when she does not actually respond as many times as she charges for it. I tried to get in contact with her several times and I would leave messages that she would not return the calls, an...d then by email and when she did rarely respond, like 1 in 20 times, she would always have spelling/grammatical mistakes in her messages, be very short with me, and would not even answer all of my questions, even though she was charging me the same for the response. I would ask for a face to face meeting, and she would tell me, after my 15 attempts to contact her without response, that it was not necessary. I paid this attorney to actually be an attorney and represent my best interests and to inform me/answer my questions, and I do not believe that I should be paying an attorney that doesn't do her job, and I have to remind her to do anything. She also has mood swings in the courtroom in front of the judge, I do not know if it was due to her personal matters or if it was because my ex hired a new lawyer that she was intimidated by. She makes promises that she does not keep, and from what other legal friends of mine have told me, she should not even be promising me anything. She sells herself as the type of lawyer that is a shark, someone who likes a fight, but when the fight comes to her, she is a coward and backs down. The only thing that she is interested in is getting her money one way or another, no matter the pitch she has to give or the lies she has to tell, with no regards for the severity of the situation to the client, to pay for kid and her horses and stables. Don't waste your money, time, or sanity even going to this attorney... she is not worth the free consultation.

We hired Wendy for a child custody case and she promised us the world. She didnt return our calls or emails. I would email her 20 or 30 times before she would respond and then it wouldnt even answer my questions. She sent me 2 different invoices with different amounts on them and then tried to charge... me for more services when I already had been harged for them. She hangs up the phone on you and is NEVER on time for hearings. I really thought she was there to help me but now I know she was all talk and no action. Dont hire her you wont get what you pay for.
