Avoid This Lawyer at All Costs

I hired Emily nearly four years ago for my divorce and custody case, and my experience has been nothing short of frustrating. Despite my commitment to resolving this matter, I’ve faced numerous issues that I feel compelled to share. First and foremost, the lack of communication is alarming. I have... left multiple voicemails and emails, only to receive no responses. Emily promised to call back but rarely does. I was never informed about important court dates or any communications with opposing counsel, leaving me feeling completely in the dark about my own case. In terms of progress, there has been none. I've attended fewer than ten court dates, yet nothing has been resolved. I've followed every instruction given and provided all necessary documentation, but instead of moving forward, I’ve only accumulated debt with no results. It seems that the focus is more on billing than on actually helping me. Emily claims to be minimizing costs, yet I’m being charged for a lack of action. It feels like I’m being taken advantage of, with no regard for my needs or the well-being of my children. If you are looking for a lawyer who will support you in building a better relationship with your kids and advocate for your interests, I strongly advise you to look elsewhere. I regret hiring Emily and wish I could drop her, but unfortunately, I'm stuck for now. Final thoughts - Save yourself the trouble and avoid this lawyer unless you want to deal with unresponsiveness and a lack of progress
