Worst experience of my life

Hired JJT in 2009 based on a friends referral. Met with me, understood my financial situation, took the retainer. Told me "I can't afford to have her call me back"..seriously, those were her words. I had a guardian ad litem assigned to my kids, which is something I had never even heard of..kind of wo...uld have expected to get the heads up on that from my LAWYER! She also QUIT my case about a week before we went into court! That left me to either start over, with even less money, or allow my husband of 25 years to have his lawyer, a family friend, to type up our mediation..and change everything that was actually agreed upon to what was better financially for my ex. If you are thinking about using JJT, please run the other way & take your money with you. She kept mine & did exactly no work. Jim Reardon was my Ex's attorney..that guy actually seems to know what he is doing.
