Laura Ann Depledge

Laura took $1000 and never even started my case. I repeatedly called and emailed to try and receive a follow up and when she finally answered she was rude and threatened me she would only continue with my case after I handed over more money. She proved to have no compassion or trustworthiness, do NO...T hire this attorney.

Atty Depledge stated she would listen to the history of my complicated divorce/custody case. After receiving her retainer she only looked at past court documents; In subsequent consultations with me she disallowed discussion of history/events which my stalker /abusive ex husband who has since my divo...rce moved on to emotionally(including severe parent alienation), sexually, physically abusing our sons to prepare for my case. She is a decent litigator but could care less about getting to know her clients or standing behind them. Don't expect her to get personally involved/ see your perspective.She had no idea about what would be in the best interest of our children. My ex husband did not follow parenting time schedules, she did not advocate for me/my children, having had 3 weeks to work out a schedule with opposing counsel she went on vacation for two weeks without resolving/replying to opposing counsels for holiday schedule, and charging $800 anyway.( according to my friends on facebook she was quite busy throwing holiday parties) In court she did not protect my rights, she argued somewhat effectively in child support hearing, but did not notify the court of a prior settlement so the court assessed several thousand dollars in arrearages. In the end, if I hired someone to correct this error it would cost me as much as the arrearages. Unless you have a truly black and white case, don't walk, run.
