Disappointing Experience

My experience with Attorney Patricia Fox was incredibly disappointing and I made a considerable mistake in retaining their legal services. Per the representation agreement I had with Abear Law, one part stated “The counsel will abide by the client’s decision concerning the objectives of representa...tion…” I was charged $175 for a Petition that was written by Patricia Fox, however I had NOT and NEVER requested it. In fact, I told Patricia Fox during the initial meeting in Sept ‘18 I would not be the Petitioner in this civil case. When I challenged Fox regarding the charge, she said I could counter-file using this unnecessary Petition, but would be the point? This was a document that I did not need or even had requested. Obviously, Patricia Fox clearly violated the representation agreement by disregarding my objective that I was very clear about. Patricia Fox was also consistently late to status meetings at the court house. She charges for a full hour for a court appearance that takes 5 mins and she cannot even show up on time! My case was called 3 times on by the judge before Patricia Fox made an appearance on my behalf. Patricia Fox had sent me the Response to the Petition, it had multiple errors. I sent her a well-prepared document on how to properly respond to each claim, she again made errors. After calling her, she told me she sent the wrong document, her mistake, but charged me for the call, $130 to figure it out that she sent me the incorrect document. In conclusion based on my frustrating experience,

Grateful

Patricia Fox represented me in a maintenance review. She was extremely thorough and organized in her approach and professional in her demeanor while also being personable and compassionate. Her deportment in the courtroom was above reproach. She was readily available and quick to respond to my quest...ions and concerns. I heartily recommend her without hesitation.

Exceptional Attorney

I've found Ms. Fox to be an exceptional attorney who not only has a strong understanding of the law, but also has a strong understanding of the needs of the people she has been hired to represent.
