Bad Experience

I had a terrible experience with this Law Firm. The Lawyer that I initially worked with quit, leaving me with a new lawyer I did not have the ability to choose which I would have appreciated. They then charged me for an introductory call with the new lawyer and I asked Tiffany to be on the call as sh...e was familiar with my case. I wanted to make sure the new lawyer understood the complexities of my case. I was told I would not be charged for this call. And rightfully so as it should not be my responsibility to get a new lawyer caught up because my original lawyer quit working at their firm. I then got a bill for both lawyer's time and for them to take notes... over $700 for this call. I let them know this was unacceptable and gave my reasoning and showed them the email that stated I would not be charged, and they dropped me! I spent thousands of dollars with this firm and I was at the end of my case! They knew by dropping me I would have to start over with a new firm and it would be even more costly so I explained this was not ok and all I asked for them to remove the charges for the call I was told I would not pay for. They didn't care. They then ran through a good portion of my remaining retainer, charging me hundreds and hundred to withdraw. This firm is not listed on Google and I believe there is a reason. The have too many bad reviews. This is not a firm I would ever suggest to anyone. Let the reviews, or lack there of, speak for themself!

I'm sorry that you had a bad experience. We pride ourselves on providing the most zealous and compassionate representation to all clients we work with. As you know, we did not charge you for the introductory calls and we did not charge you for any work completed to get the new Associate Attorney up to speed. Unfortunately, the previous Associate Attorney that was working on your case left the Firm solely because she decided to practice in a non family law field. That Associate Attorney was with the Firm for a very long time prior to her departure. As the Partner and lead Attorney on your case, I reassured you that I would make sure that the transition to the new Associate Attorney was flawless, and it was. Ultimately, we were unable to proceed forward with your case due to many factors and we were forced to withdraw from your case.

Dishonest billing

Was charged over and over for time spent correcting mistakes made by Tiffany Hughes and Dagny Broome, plus the time spent communicating about their mistakes. In addition, the contract you sign in the beginning allows them to continue billing you without your permission. I had to call my bank and bloc...k them from withdrawing more funds even after they were no longer on my case.

The invoices kept coming

After 20 months of representation the firm withdrew because I couldn't afford the services anymore. I had no choice but to represent myself during the final stages of my divorce. You will get charged whenever they have "strategic" internal discussions about your case or may be even for just thinking ...about your case.

Interesting to note: one star or five star ratings - suspicious?

This was a money pit of a divorce. Strung me along for a year to finalize what essentially came out to what was offered in the onset. She misrepresented her knowledge / experience of the presiding judge. All 'pitbull', sure she had a great ego, which is why I hired her...but after my results, her... withholding legal information until I was 3/4 through my divorce that would have informed my decision to settle and the fact that I had to proofread her brief's (everything from spelling, grammar to requested terms)....I would find someone else.

Kate, I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with your divorce. However, the Firm and myself do not have a client by the name of Kate. Avvo is currently researching into this misposted review to ensure that this post is posted to the appropriate Attorney at hand.

High Fee Structure

I hired this lawyer to represent me in a custody case on 4/19/2016. Once the fees started racking up to $3000 per month for very little work, I proceeded to find another attorney since she was way out of my budget. Even after providing direct instructions to stop all work, she still continued to rack... up fees and charged my credit card without consent. I disputed the last transaction with my credit card company and the lawyer sent a forged document with my signature to the credit card company so that they could keep the money. They basically took the credit card agreement that I signed on 4/19/2016, then they whited out that original date and put in a new date, then wrote the disputed amount on the document. The credit card company indicated that they had to side with the lawyer since the forged credit card agreement had my signature. I learned a costly lesson to never put my credit card on file for ANY business. Highly disappointed client.
