Richard A Roane

Mr. Roane represented me in a divorce. He failed to file papers as agree upon within 60 days. He didn't understand legal tactics used by the opposition. He advised me to accept a very low dollar amount. He failed to go after other typical compensation in divorces. He had conversations with the o...pposing lawyer without disclosing them to me in which the other lawyer told lies (because he was misled by my spouse). My lawyer chose to believe those lies for some unknown reason. They were untrue and there was no evidence to support the lies. There was plenty of evidence to support my facts. He acted like he was counsel for the other side. He overcharged me by over $10,000. The other side actually wrote the final agreement. My lawyer didn't even review it closely to find the loopholes in it. When you are going through a divorce and need a lawyer to be your advocate because you are in emotional pain, don't hire Mr. Roane. In my case, I paid way too much, and left with very little when there was lots to go after for a fair and equitable settlement. To add insult to injury, he actually called me to ask if I was still employed. Then he sent out a nice big final bill for doing next to nothing. Find someone else to represent you.
