      David Ray Pace's response: I am sorry about any misunderstanding that may have arisen out of our consultation. I did review the documents you sent, we spent an hour going through them in detail, and based on the way we ended our conversation I understood I had answered all the questions you had. If you have any other questions or concerns, I would be happy to discuss them with you further.

      David Ray Pace's response: As a firm, we want to acknowledge your review and express that we are troubled that you did not consider your experience with our firm to be satisfactory. We welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly to attempt to resolve any concerns you may have. While the Rules of Professional Conduct prevent us from discussing the specifics of your case in a public forum and we respect our clients’ (and former clients’) confidentiality, we believe we did all we could do under the relevant circumstances and the time constraints that existed, to assist you with your case. Unfortunately, there are times in family law cases where the Court does not agree with the arguments and contentions made by one party or the other and his/her attorney and times when the Court’s timelines dictate that certain matters must be heard within a set timeframe. We wish you all the best.
