Although personable, I found her professional manner to be lacking. Issues were lack of communication, lack of follow-up on matters that needed pursuing, and a clear misunderstanding of the needs of her client. She resigned after giving me an ultimatum about staying at a particular hotel since I live... out of town as well as not supporting me in my request to appear by telephone for a hearing that we knew nothing was going to occur anyway. Lastly, she charges like a mad elephant. If it takes half an hour to write a few lines of an email, then I consider that a problem. I had a balance left on my account which she did not return, knowing I lived out of state and was unlikely to pursue. That was dishonest.

I came to this law firm after working for a short time with a previous lawyer who wasn't filing paperwork on time, in the beginning it seemed so much better. Her law firm did get a custody study for our case which was a very good thing, but everything else was an incredibly expensive disapointment. ... I worked with One of Probst's associates who although seemed nice was very incompetent in the courtroom, we had 2 humiliatingly bad losses in a row in which the opposing counsel completely dominated us. Not only was Probst's associate unprepared, but meek and afraid to speak up on my behalf IN COURT ROOM! The 2nd of the embarrassing losses was a restraining order case I filed because of Jane Probst recommendation herself, she later scolded me telling me what an unwise decision it was because of the incredibly high burden of proof needed for a restraining order. WHAT? I was taking the advice of my law firm! The first embarrassing loss was for withholding placement, my exhusband had been gone for 2 years, has a documented history of violence, and a woman in the house no one had met which the children claimed was hitting them..should have been easy to illustrate reasonable cause to withhold placement right? Nope, not only did we lose that hearing, but I was ordered to pay his attorney fees! Ultimately what ended our relationship was an appeal I filed for the first hearing. I talked to and confirmed with the associate my plan to appeal both by email (documented) and by phone. 2 weeks passed before Probst even noticed, and then severed the relationship for "acting outside of counsel" and immediately gossiped to the opposing counsel the details of why they were no longer working for me. In fact, within hours I received a message from my ex husband taunting me about it; in her own pettiness and unprofessional behavior not only could she not take responsibility for her own firm's negligence, she actually gave my opposition fuel against me. Probst ended up being completely unprofessional and unethical in the end, in fact during our last meeting the only part of our conversation she cared about was how much the opposing counsel might be making per hour. She also told me she was letting us go because it'd be impossible to win. Probst cutting ties was the best thing that happened to our case because with a new lawyer we did win, in fact we got everything I asked for. That associate by the way is no longer with the firm, I found out over the 2 months it took me to get a final statement from them.

I was referred to Attorney Jane Probst at a time that I was losing faith in attorneys. My post-divorce litigation was very complex, with children involved. Attorney Probst was not afraid to go up against my ex-husbands attorney. She was very organized, clear and concise with her plan. She is very kno...wledgeable about the Law and gave me confidence in my case at a time when I thought I was at a dead end. I highly recommend her; I wish I had found her at the beginning of my divorce.

Jane and team were excellent. They were on the ball and provided me everything I needed to feel confident in court. I took the time to read our contract through before signing and it was a straight forward, honest contract with no hidden information or fees. I had very little money and was in a posit...ion where I needed an attorney ASAP and while I paid a going rate, Jane didn't overuse those fees. It was a breath of fresh air dealing with a competent, intelligent, expert in the field of law and I felt very understood, cared about and represented in my case. Thank you, Jane. I appreciate all you have done. I whole heartedly recommend this firm.

I hired attorney Jane for my divorce process. I interviewed 15 attorneys in 3 weeks. Since the 1st time I talked to Jane She gave me the feeling of an honest strong and very professional attorney. Jane has the knowledge and experience to win and get things done. The day when the opposing attorney as...ked Jane what is a “vocational evaluation”? This reassured me that I was in good hands and Attorney Jane is an expert in terms about law. The opposing Attorney was learning new terminology from Attorney Jane! My first Attorney whom I hired felt intimidated by this Opposing Attorney, but Attorney Jane is a confidant woman and knows how to win an argument. Jane is very professional she helped my family immensely. She helped me through my legal custody and physical placement of my daughter. Jane has a system to respond in a Timely manner, and you will never get any surprises from her. Since the first time I talked to Jane I was very happy and grateful till the end of my divorce process. Jane speaks plain English to me, and when it comes to speaking and defending me in court, she is the best fighting back in the court room and most important she has the experience and knowledge. I will recommend Jane always. I had a bad experience with my first attorney that started my divorce, the way he acted made me feel like if I was dealing w/ a dictator. This first lawyer made me believe it would be difficult for me to get placement of my daughter even though there was so much evidence to prove she would be safer with me as did many lawyers I interviewed. This first attorney I hired saw me as a paycheck and not a human being he did nothing to help my divorce case. He just took my money that was the only thing he was good for, thank god I fired him and found Attorney Jane. With Attorney Jane I know I am in good hands and with a true Professional who knows what to do. Thank you Attorney Jane.
