Lindsay Moretta

I am writing this review to share my personal experience with Hoover Casey and my former attorney, Lindsay Moretta, in a child custody case involving serious medical concerns. From my perspective, there was a persistent failure to advocate for my child, despite a strong and well-documented case cent...ered on medical neglect. I personally provided extensive medical records, CPS documentation, and timelines. Despite this, medical neglect was never meaningfully raised or argued in court, even though it was the core issue of the case. I also experienced serious professional and procedural problems, including my confidential legal file being accidentally sent to another client of the firm. Immediately after trial and before a decision was issued, I received a letter terminating services, yet the firm never formally withdrew from my case. This left me in procedural limbo and interfered with my ability to file pro se, which negatively impacted my filings. There were ongoing billing concerns as well. I was billed for tasks I personally completed, including gathering and providing records directly to the GAL. I also felt that my attorney spent time communicating with the GAL and opposing counsel in ways that allowed them opportunities to correct issues, rather than forcefully advocating on my child’s behalf. At one point, a medical issue involving my child occurred in real time while the case was pending, and no immediate or corrective advocacy was taken. When I raised concerns, I was made to feel like the problem and was characterized as a “difficult client,” rather than being heard as a parent trying to protect her child. I also personally spoke with Corinne Hoover and found the interaction to be rude and unprofessional, which further reinforced my concerns about the firm’s approach to clients. I am now in the position of having to file complaints and raise these issues after the fact—something no parent wants to do in a case involving a child’s health and safety. This review is shared as a warning to other families: choose your legal representation carefully and advocate for yourself early. I would strongly encourage others to look elsewhere for representation, as I would not recommend this firm or this attorney based on my experience. This review reflects my honest opinion and firsthand experience.
