Not satisfactory, not aggressive, outperformed by other party's attorney

I retained Justin for a family law matter. I admit that the issue was rather complex; however, he assured me that he'd do his best to secure a desirable outcome and provided me with what I thought were reasonable expectations. By "his best", he must have meant "I'm just going to take your money and d...o the bare minimum", because that's basically all he did. He was not aggressive, whether in the courtroom, when interacting with other attorneys, or in his preparation for court. He did nothing to accurately prepare me for court, did not provide sound legal advice, and had his paralegal communicate with me on every matter when it should have been him. Phone calls go unreturned and emails take days to answer. He even had the other party admit to lying, falsifying information, and not communicating with the co-parent in court and instead of brutally annihilating him, he was timid and didn't push the issue. He was obviously not willing to "push the envelope" in the case, while the more senior attorney on the other side was willing to have his client lie and slander me to get the desired outcome. would not recommend him.

Professional and Knowledgeable

Justin worked diligently to resolve my legal issues in a quick and professional manner. He was quite knowledgeable about the processes and communicated continually throughout the court process.
