Protect your Family! Don't Hire Danforth!

I recently went through a divorce and unfortunately, my experience with my attorney was extremely disappointing. From the outset, it felt like their focus was more on billable hours and maximizing fees than on the well-being of my children and the overall outcome of the case. Communication was a co...nstant struggle. I often had difficulty getting responses to my questions, and when I did, the explanations were often unclear or dismissive. I felt like I was constantly chasing them for updates, rather than them proactively keeping me informed. More concerning was their handling of matters related to my children. I felt their advice often prioritized a quick resolution or financial gain over what was truly in the best interest of my kids. They didn't seem to grasp the emotional toll this process was taking on them, and I felt like their concerns were often brushed aside. I had hoped for an advocate who would fight for my children's needs, but instead, I felt like they were treated as an afterthought. Ultimately, the entire experience was incredibly stressful and added significantly to the emotional burden of the divorce. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone going through a similar situation, especially if protecting your children is your top priority. It's crucial to find an attorney who is not only knowledgeable and competent, but also genuinely cares about the well-being of your family.

Harrassment

This attorney texted me with the wrong contact information (someone else submitted my phone number) and he would not stop texting me. He accused me of wasting his time and threatened to track me down when I said he had the wrong number.
