Inexperienced & Vain Attorney

Found him to be very uncaring, vain and inexperienced. Had to do "research" on child custody laws which we found odd since his is a family law attorney; and yes, we were billed for his "research" at $175 per hour! He took extended amounts of time to prepare any document only to find most were inadequ...ate per the courts/opposite attorney and of course, we were charged for it including him filing incorrect paperwork. We fired him and hired a new attorney due to his actions. Would not recommend for anyone needing an attorney with the family courts.

Let me begin by saying that I hoped to meet and discuss these issues with this client prior to our relationship dissolving; I am very open to constructive criticism, want to constantly improve and try to be the best attorney possible. Unfortunately, especially in family law cases, each case is complex and there is no “one size fits all” answer or solution to the client’s problems, which means that a responsible attorney has a duty to research recent case law and rulings to confirm proper understanding of the current state of the law. After this research, I can then best advise my client and provide them with options. Research and billing are clearly addressed in my engagement letter. I’m unsure how to respond to the filings comment? I don't think this is accurate. I feel it is my job as an attorney to provide straight forward opinions and all potential outcomes of the client's case. Sometimes the client isn’t ready to hear some of these hard truths, but I think it is absolutely necessary to discuss and explore before court so there are no surprise outcomes.
