This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Rude and unprofessional

Handled divorce case in which we fired her after a year and half. Literally did not move the ball at all in that time frame. Never had any answers to questions, which should have been easy for her. Very defensive. Uses the "f" word constantly, trying to sound tough, but sounded so unprofessional. ...Incredibly rude. Poor with communication. Demonstrates no interest in your case. NEVER prepared for meetings. DO NOT USE this attorney. Complete waste of time and money.

Unorganized and unprofessional

I am totally unimpressed by Ms. Seritella. Although she came recommended by close friends, she completely mishandled my information and was dishonest and argumentative.

WORST experience

I only gave her one star because I had to. I was referred to Judy for a child custody case. When I met with her for the consultation, she was very enthusiastic that she would have no problem getting what I was asking for when she wanted my business. When it came time to argue to get what I was as...king for, she pushed me to settle because she didn't want to have to let the judge hear me out and make the decision. She did nothing to fight for what was best for my child and on top of that she insulted me for having the child with a man like that in the first place! After it was all done, I asked her (with valid proof I had good reason to get the parenting agreement changed) to take him back to court to fight for what I wanted done, she told me to find a new lawyer!!

Divorce lawyer

Judy was referred to me by a close friends and she was great. Kept in touch and seemed really on top of things. This was from a few years ago but, honestly, I feel like she was misrepresented by the other two reviews on here.

Not worth your $$$$

Hired her with a promise from her to progress my stalling divorce. She overlooked some very basic things, didn't do much research (on a very complex case), was never prepared for our meetings, allowed the case to be dragged out for almost 2.5+ years, didn't send me a bill for a year and then charged ...me a ridiculous amount for all her stalling (or letting opposing council stall) stating that my bill was half of what opposing council was charging my spouse (So they talked about our billing with each other? Wow). Then she demanded I pay in full or she wouldn't represent me right before a scheduled TRIAL date. Yeah. If you value your assets and your children, don't hire this one. Horrible personality, rude, less than average skill, unethical billing, and when she had personal issues my case suffered.
