Divorce with kids

Sarah is an amazing lawyer and I wouldn’t hire anyone else! She kept me updated with everything going on and she was so professional. I would definitely hire her again in the future if needed!

Terrible Representation

As others in her review had mentioned, her and the paralegal Peggy returned calls or emails. I felt as though she did not fight for me at all. Paralegal Peggy was borderline rude with answers and advice when I couldn't get thru to Ms. Decker-Hall. I believe she is not with Fox Law anymore, but where... ever she lands at, STAY AWAY!

Lazy is an understatement!!!!!

I hired her October 8 To fight my kids mom who took off to Vegas with the kids! The day I hired her I told her I was in a crunch for time. Only for her to wait till the last possible day I could file! When it came time for court she showed up right at the time of my court The phone call ...the night before didn’t ask 1 time if I was good with dates!!!!!!!!!!! Soon as she walked into court she asked my gf if I was good with dates!!! I had till the 26 to file I told her the 28 from what I was told Needless to say if she would have done her job and filed within a week of me hiring her I would have won!! But now I’m out the money for filing and something else Which I find a bunch of bs seems how you never had time to call me or do your job Do yourself a favor and don’t even think about hiring her Waste of your time & money

Unprofessional

I hired Sarah for my divorce and basically she just took my money. She never really put the efforts in fighting for my case at all. She would take days or even a week before returning my calls. Needless to say she ended up leaving the firm without contacting or giving me any notice at all. I found ou...t on a humble because I called with information for her. Come to find out she had been gone for weeks, and the firm never contacted me or sent a letter notifying me of this news. They then pushed me off to another attorney in the firm without my knowledge. The other attorney was just as unorganized as Sarah and barely fought for me. But to avoid the hassle of going to another firm I tried to give the benefit of the doubt. Well I was wrong! I called Yesterday to speak with my attorney and the paralegal got on the phone only to tell me that he had left the firm too! I have been bamboozled and pushed around by this unprofessional firm. I did ask the aid "so when did this happen", and she said, oh it just happened not to long. What does that even mean? Then she told me that she will have another attorney call me tomorrow, I have yet to hear from her. I will be reporting them to the BBB.
