Not a Winner!

My terrible experience with Susan J Mundahl, Esq sadly mimics a 2016 review that was written by someone named Curtis. It seems baffling that an attorney with 34 years of Family Law experience would fail to consider her client’s outcome. She repeatedly ignored and dismissed my concerns. Ms Mundahl... made numerous decisions that favored my spouse, literally at my expense. Her actions, inactions and refusals to submit financial statements at trial effectively resulted with me paying her to represent my spouse against my best interests. In addition to her lackluster legal skills, two extremely important post trial documents were barely completed when submitted at the very last minute to meet a court submission deadline that had been extended for an additional 3-1/2 days.! Lacking time to edit and make corrections, those hastily finished documents included significant mistakes that significantly favored my spouse’s outcome! BTW: Ms Mundahl’s comments to negative reviews generally deny any personal accountability while deceptively painting those “misguided” client reviewers in a defective light.

I am sorry that this person felt that the tremendous amount of time and effort that went into her matter was not enough. I am unable to comment on the details of her very complex matter. However, I disagree completely with her statement that I ignored or dismissed her. It is simply not true. In general, the problem with being an attorney handling family law matters is that I am working with clients who already feel diminished or even abused by their spouses. Sometimes, as their attorney, I am subjected to the backlash of their emotional pain and anger. I can assure other readers of this review that I take my role as an attorney seriously and that I make every effort to listen to my clients and respond to their concerns. I have an excellent record with the court, the legal community, and especially with the majority of my clients. One thing I cannot do is guarantee a client's success in the litigation setting. I have no control over an opposing party, their counsel, or a Judge’s decision. I certainly hope that if you are reading this, you will check out how the majority of my clients feel about the services they receive.
