Posted by anonymous | April 07, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Do Not Hire. Look Elsewhere

I hired this attorney for a custody matter involving my child’s safety — one of the most serious and sensitive legal situations a parent can face. Unfortunately, my experience was deeply disappointing from start to finish. He attended a hearing on my behalf but failed to request one of the key outco...mes I had explicitly asked for — an outcome that was central to why I hired him. When I followed up, it became clear he did not have a firm grasp of the details of my case. For a custody matter, that is unacceptable. Throughout our time working together, he was aloof and nonchalant — not the engaged, attentive advocate my child’s situation required. I never felt like he understood the urgency or truly cared about the outcome. When I made the decision to part ways, he refused to return the unused portion of my retainer. I would strongly caution any parent navigating a custody or family law matter to look elsewhere for representation.
