Not for Family Law

Do not hire this person to represent you for stark county family court! He was always unprepared. He had his secretary retype anything I provided him as evidence. What would have taken me 15 minute to edit, he had her rewrite charging me extra hours of time for the effort. I brought up the subjec...t of switching attorneys, but he said no one would take my case due to how far along into the divorce process as we were. He was a total con artist, promising me success and resulting in devastating failure. My ex got everything she wanted and more. I was awarded less visitation time with my children after the divorce was final than what I was receiving during the separation time before it was final. Financially, I was ruined. I'm embarrassed to say how much money I ended up paying this joker over the course of my case. Lastly, this guy made disparaging sexual references to me about various women who came up in our coversation. I politely changed the subject when he did. For example, he talked about the legs of a female professional involved in the case, and how he would totally bang her. This discussion was unprovoked by me. I never talked about such things.

worst 750 dollars I ever spent

Seth didn't researched the law concerning my case until after the fact. We had a 1:30 court time and he shows up at 1:27 ? and the quick time he had to talk to me, he made me feel like i was wasting his time??? When i paid him 750 dollars to represent me. I would never hire this guy again!

Caring

Seth cared about my case and took it very seriously. He told me to keep my head up and that this case was a marathon, and not a sprint. Turns out he's right. Excellent lawyer
