Judith Ann Serritella

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.

We heard good things about Judy So we decided to get a free consultation with her. We were in and out of her office within 15 minutes at the consultation, and after thinking about it she talks very fast and was rushing us out of her office. We hired Judy and brought our $3500 retainer in on tuesda...y. We emailed several questions to her office and called three times that week with no answer. We finally got a hold of them the next Monday and they had not even started our case yet. Our time was not important to her but it was very important to us so we decided to get a new lawyer. When we went back to get a retainer we only got $3275 back as they said we wasted an hour of their time. If you need a lawyer that has time for you I would recommend looking elsewhere Judy does not! We asked for an itemized receipt after learning that we were not going to get our retainer back. Judy told us that the money that was taken out of our retainer was because she made an outline for us that she was not willing to give us. We only spent 10 minutes with her in our free consultation she had no idea what we wanted to do with our case so there was no way an outline was made !!.. and we would have to wait three more weeks to see her again... No thanks!!
