Posted by Marcie | October 01, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Terrible, costly experience

She does not respond in a timely manner, and sometimes there was no response. She handled a child support case, a situation where I had moved to another area when my son was 17. I owed the child support, by law, so that part, I do not dispute. My ex-husband did not talk with me, so we could not wo...rk out an agreement, which is why this was in the court system to begin with. Ms. Beran, however, despite me emailing her multiple times over one year failed to address the stop payment on this order. This error cost me over $4000.00. So, for four months past the time of my obligated commitment, my ex-husband continued to receive money garnished from my wages. Ms. Beran never put a stop date on the court order. I mentioned this in numerous emails to her, for a year prior to the expiration of my obligation. The judge ruled that since she failed to notify opposing counsel on the stop date, my ex-husband was able to keep the extra payments.

Terrible Attorney

Attorney never returns phone calls or emails. According to other Attorneys that I have spoken with my case was a sure win with custody, child support and visitation and I lost anyway. Steer clear!!!
