Jill Ann Duffy

I had a horrible experience with this attorney. Prior to leaving this review I contacted her firm (Cordell) and was told Management would be made aware of my dissatisfaction with the extreme incompetence and poor representation I received resulting in my significant reduction in parenting time (she... could have been representing my ex - I think the result would have been the same). Her representation to me on the phone based on the circumstances of what the outcome would be (at the very least what she would advocate for) were very different than what she conveyed to me on the day of the hearing itself in front of MI FOC. Aside from wasting thousands of dollars for incompetent representation, billing unreasonable amounts of money after I told her I was no longer interested in her representation, I received nothing more from her firm than an indication "management would be notified". Buyer beware. I hired her based on her being a "father's advocate". This was not at all the case in my experience.

Jill was not very knowledgeable about my case at all, even though I spent a thorough about of time explaining the facts or my case with her. She does not pay attention to detail, as quite a few of my court documents had misspellings and errors which show that she did not review these documents at all.... I wish I could think of anything that she provided that was a value add as my advocate, but I can't. I understand that a lack of experience can lead to novice mistakes, but there's no way that I should be a better advocate than my own lawyer. I would not recommend her to anyone. She told me in an a temporary order for child support that the court would not make me pay that much, had me sign the order, then I later found out that it was truly binding. Hopefully some experience will help her, but her unskilled mistakes are terrible.!
