Paul Gentile
Replied last September 21, 2016It is unfortunate that the client's spouse and attorney did not respond to our requests. We file the petitions in a timely manner and do everything we can to move the case along. Our hourly rates at $225 are lower than most attorney's rates. It is difficult to control the other party and their lawyer so occasionally a case is extended beyond our control. We are willing to discuss any issues with fees and try to be available as much as possible when not in court.
