Posted by anonymous | June 11, 2014 | Child Custody

Lawyer only cares about money, not the family! Stay AWAY!!

Hired as the children's lawyer. Charges 395 per hour. Wants to "take things step by step" = drain your money. Said he would "wrap things up in 3 weeks" 3 months later, nothing. He was also more concerned about getting paid, than the true welfare of the kids. Attempted to schedule a meeting durin...g their father's visitation time, which tells me that he didn't even know the visitation schedule.
