Juliette Gaffney Dame

Attorney Dame efficiently navigated me through a divorce with custody in a tricky substance misuse situation with the other party. The solution we arrived at is still working three years later to keep my child safe. She and her team were very responsive when I had questions during the process. My ...divorce took less than 5 months start to finish.

Ms. Dame did not gain one thing for me. Rather than be solution oriented, and offer equitable solutions, she incites anger which is not in your best interest., almost criminal style. She didn’t make me aware of Ohio laws that would have a detrimental effect on my outcome, much to my disadvantage. ...I would not recommend her.

Juliette is competent and knowledgeable. My biggest disappointment and frustration was the way she handled my case. There were 2 instances where she appeared in judge's chambers with my former spouse's attorney that I found out about after it occurred. I was not kept informed until very late in the p...roceedings as to what was going on and how she was going to handle the situation. Her assistant always made sure the invoice was sent on time, but responding to my voice mail or email messages took days and sometimes over a week would go by before either of them would answer my questions or concerns. I did a lot of research on my own to defray costs, like checking on my former spouse's pension and did spreadsheets showing how much money I had spent over the years on our children's education, living expenses, my ex spouses legal bills, etc. to prove how negligent he had been over the course of our marriage. All they (my attorney and his) seemed to focus on was how much money I made and how little he made despite the fact that he has been and is still a pot user and that is why he was habitually underemployed. The verbal, mental and psychological abuse I suffered seemed to not even matter so I finally gave up and paid on a settlement which means he won and I lost. At least I'm rid of him now but I truly felt like my attorney and his attorney just decided to wear me down and get it over with.
