Below Expectations!

Since Paying the $2500 retainer to Donald Aaron back in March, I have felt like my divorce proceeding was a "fill in" that he fit in between his “more important” cases. This impression has been attained and supported by the constant lags in communication between him and I and Donald Aaron and my wife...’s attorney. I have provided hundreds of pages of documentation that was requested by my wife’s attorney. Hours of have been wasted as Donald Aaron went through these documents page by page....line by line, and took calls from other clients while I twiddled my thumbs sitting in his office. At $200/hr, I was under the impression that as my attorney he would be doing a lot more to protect my interests and put closure to this divorce in a timely manner……not dragging it on forever!

Replied last September 21, 2019

William's wife filed for divorce in Kentucky and then moved to another state and filed for divorce there. That's when William retained me. I helped him get the other case dismissed, but fighting divorces in two states drained his retainer, and he was unwilling to spend any more money to get "closure" on the Kentucky divorce. I was always available to communicate with William. In addition to our phone calls I had 70 e-mails with him and the other lawyer. I have minimized interruptions since William was a client with a full-time answering service. William received a detailed bill that showed he was never billed for any interruptions. I helped William answer 35 questions in writing and go through years of records requested by the other side.
