Posted by Amy | August 18, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

Please beware

I feel it is my due diligence to post a review to forewarn others to avoid this law practice. My uncontested divorce was utterly painful due to their lack of follow through. My file was misplaced and my calls and emails were rarely returned. The new client paperwork was never given to me and I was ...later berated by Karen herself regarding my incompetence as a divorce client. What married woman knows how child support is processed? I have never heard so many excuses and never an apology for such a fouled up case. A year after my divorce finalized I am finally done with all the outstanding paperwork due to all the typos and errors. ..wrong names (another clients), conflicting dates, and incorrect addresses were used. Learn how to cut and paste to make accurate documents. Have a heart Karen and treat your clients with respect. And learn to accept your firms mistakes and amend them. Enough knocking people when they are down, what you did to me was absolutely heartless. I hope you and John have learned from your mistakes in my case and will no longer treat a client as you did me. Wish someone had let me know before I hired them. Good riddance!
