    My case involved child custody.

    Our first court visit, he completely misstated the facts of the case to the judge. (Without my being present.) Valuable court time was spent correcting the Judge misconceptions about my situation.

    He missed court--an appearance I attended--and failed to find someone to fill in. (So I had to.) I met him later in a Starbucks. He still had the gall to bill me for the half an hour or so we spent discussing the case.

    He is gabby about nonsense when it leads to billable hours.

    He was ignorant of the relatively recent changes to Illinois child support laws. This was especially galling in my situation because I had significant student loans that affected the amount of support I owed. The fact that I had to cite the specific section of the ILCS to him to get him to see this was frustrating. (Note, this conversation, he billed me for. If we weren't so close to the finish line I'd have moved on...)

    Andrew L. Spivack’s response: “I respectfully disagree with the facts in your post and the characterization of my services. I never misstated the facts of your case to the judge. If you were not present in court as you stated, how would you even know what was discussed? There were many court dates on your case during the 3 years it was pending and I was your attorney. The one time I was delayed due to bad weather, you were not charged for that court date and your case was just continued. The meeting we had was a separate charge. I also recall adjusting and lowering your bill on more than one occasion. Regarding child support, when the order was entered your student loans were taken into consideration in determining the amount you had to pay. I always try to provide the best legal services to all of my clients. Your case was a difficult one and emotions were running high at times but your case was successfully settled and you signed a written settlement agreement. I am happy to discuss your case with you off line. Please feel free to contact me.”
