Posted by anonymous | April 07, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Stay far away if you are a guy. You've been warned

Do not hire this guy, especially if you are a guy. He will work against you and work with your wife's attorney. He will push for you to sign an agreement that favors everything for her, just so he can be done. If you don't then he will charge you for everything and threaten to make you pay more if i...t goes to trial. Because he will want to drag it out. I could have just fired him and saved a bunch of money and still got the same result or better.

Do not use! Just takes your money.

Met with this guy about a hostile ex and he assured us that we would get her into court and get it straightened out. Paid him $1500 and never went to court. He exchanged a few letters with her attorney and no action was ever taken. We actually felt he was siding with her attorney. He never had time t...o work with us and always referred us to his legal assistant. What a waste of time and money. Then had the gall to try and charge us for filing a withdraw after we fired him! Only met with him twice I believe in a year and a half. Bad, bad, bad.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
