Divorce maintenance termination.

When going for a termination of divorce maintenance attorney Babcock seemed over booked or too busy to prepare for the hearing . I had to call to setup the final meeting before court. I also compiled relevant information on my disabilities and finances. When the court hearing day arrived he told the... judge why I was asking for a termination he said health issues and then stopped talking. I did ask him to ask the judge the questions I formulated as well as present data I provided . He told me to stop talking . The judge dismissed it and I am now facing financial difficulties with disabilities. After we walked out he told to stop talking to during a hearing . He did put up a much better job of debating me outside the court room (about nudging him to talk ) than he had done in the court room. He was up against a 60 year old divorcee with no counsel present. He lost . He was non existent! He does a great job writing wills but in the court room I believe he is not cut out for it.

Save your hard earned money.

Greg, gives a great consultation, provides a great game plan, but when it comes to following the plan and executing it is a different story. Through the whole process I never felt as though he was on my side. This firm overcharges for the value you receive from the attorney. They are quick to run up ...a bill with "correspondences". Where things they accomplished take minutes to achieve and they charge a substantial rate for it. At the end of the day the other side was able to come away with the better end of the stick. I was very unhappy with the service received. Please vett a different attorney and check the ratings online before selecting. I write this so you do not waste your time and money. Make sure the attorney you choose actually cares about helping you and not just taking your money. Lesson learned.

Terrible lawyer

I don’t know where to start, mr babcock first of all says yes I hear you over and over again. But I’m highly doubtful of that. Leading into court he instructs to give in to this give in to that. For over a year this goes. Then court doesn’t bring up important issues. His line of questions are all the... ones that I supplied, when he asked if there were anything I could think of. He did mange to ask two questions that with a simple follow up question could have proved that but he didn’t. I’m not sure why he even asked any questions at that point. Child custody lawyer well hiring him was a huge mistake and has cost dearly. But he will get his well over 20, 000 and that the most important thing here. Now I can only pray this doesn’t happen to another person and or family. I had to give a star which is still to much

Best Lawyer

Attorney Babcock helped me through what, to me, was the most difficult period of my life. He explained to me in great detail what my legal rights are, what the court process would be like, and what options were available. Its one thing to hear someone else's experience about going through the courts,... or see it on tv, but it's a whole different experience to go through it yourself. I was a mess. Attorney Babcock fought for me, educated me, and helped me through my divorce. He knows the law and cares about his clients with a sincerity I have not experienced from another lawyer. For any person needing help with a family law case, I recommend you contact Attorney Babcock. I am so thankful I did.

Irreconcilable Differences

I hired Mr. Babcock for what should have been a simple divorce. I told him I didn't want to fight the divorce but that I wasn't going to rollover. At the temporary hearing, Mr. Babcock very quickly explained to me about the financial and showed me "his" figures that he came up with. Then after he spo...ke with opposing counsel, returned to me with a totally different set of financial numbers, handwritten and told me "I think this is fair and you should take this offer" Yes I accepted the offer, trusting my attorney, even though I thought the numbers were very low. I wasn't allowed to see my ex financial statement. That was kept between the attorneys. After the temporary hearing I contacted Mr. Babcock stating that me ex was not following the temporary order that we agreed upon. Mr. Babcock answered me saying "I can't control what other people do." I proceeded to ask Mr. Babcock for proof that he conveyed certain information on to opposing council and questioned how my ex got copies of paperwork I turned into Mr. Babcock and received an answer from Mr. Babcock that he was going to withdraw representation for me on grounds of irreconcilable differences. Of course used my total retainer fee. I would not recommend Attorney Babcock.
