Posted by anonymous | March 27, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Incompetent, Unethical

Hired her for a long, contentious custody case(almost 10 years)as I thought she would be the one to finally "get it" as an attorney is concerned. Despite how many emails I sent her-she never knew what was going on with the case as evidenced by ignorant questions she would ask me in emails that I stil...l have. She gave me a bunch of co-parenting packets the day she hired me and months later she would continue to condescendingly ask "did you read the packets I gave you yet???" I told her the day that I hired her about the history of DCF presence in the case. I told her how my ex-husband uses corporal punishment and beating to control my child who has a medical diagnosis of autism. I also told her we previously had co-parenting therapy and it was unsuccessful. She literally did not listen when I tried to tell her that my ex-husband was a domestic abuser even though DCF would never admit this. After firing her-because on top of previously mentioned here she neglected to inform me of a notice of hearing-she took me to collections. I have multiple emails to show to the disciplinary board how she did not follow lawyer rules of conduct for the Kansas Supreme Court. Since firing her-my ex-husband assaulted my child, had a domestic abuse charge brought against him in regard to this assault of my child and had this charge lowered to a misdemeanor. My child has been subjected to having to go back and live with him 100% of the time(my child has to deal with him and his spouse's abusive ways until my child turns 18)I have to pay child support to an abusive and neglectful parent that the DA in our county informed me last fall "corporal punishment is not illegal to use on your children". Ms. Berger still wants her money-almost $2k to be exact-from me when she did not earn the first $5k. Interesting to see she has an endorsement from Joe Huerter-considering I hired someone from his firm to represent me in 2020 after DCF said I was "making false allegations of abuse and neglect" against my ex husband. That person actually did their job. But doesn't matter when the system is full of cons and liars. Right down to administrative law judges who side with caseworkers that have LIED against medical records. Doesn't matter. One more reason why I hired what turned out to be this incompetent woman.
