Paige Topping (AKA Morgan Paige Topping) Title: Broken Promises, Financial Strain, and Abandonment by Paige Topping and Lion Legal Services I trusted Paige Topping and Lion Legal Services with my custody case because I wanted to be an active and loving father to my children. From the very start, t...hey gave me promises of progress and hope but ultimately left me abandoned at the most critical time. My experience has been one of broken promises, financial strain, and outright dismissal of my concerns In May 2024, I hired Lion Legal Services to represent me in my custody case. I paid $2,250 upfront, with an agreement to pay $750 later, and was assured they would secure temporary visitation rights so I could have my children during the summer. This was a deeply personal issue for me, as my children are my world, and I wanted nothing more than to see them. Despite their assurances, no progress was made. I was promised that they would meet with opposing counsel to arrange visitation, but that meeting never happened. For months, my case stagnated. Then, just days before my November 19 court hearing, I received an email from Lion Legal Services stating that my attorney, Paige Topping, had withdrawn from my case. This abrupt withdrawal left me scrambling to find representation. Even worse, they made no real effort to contact me before filing their motion to withdraw. They had multiple ways to reach me, including alternative phone numbers, emails, and my mailing address, but chose not to use them. Instead, they filed their withdrawal and left me completely unrepresented during one of the most critical moments of my custody battle. What’s even more heartbreaking is how dismissive they’ve been since then. When I reached out for help or clarification, I was told, “Sorry, case closed,” and when I tried to call, I was even laughed at. Out of desperation and not wanting to lose my children in a case that I initiated, I have made several attempts in the last two weeks to pay their ransom money of $2,000 more than originally agreed upon, just to keep my court date and not lose my kids. My pleas have been ignored, dismissed, or met with mockery. This treatment is appalling and unprofessional, especially for a law firm that claims to care about its clients. The financial strain has been equally devastating. When I offered to pay the remaining $750 as agreed, I was suddenly told I needed to pay $2,750 instead. These escalating demands felt like bullying tactics rather than fair negotiations. I was forced to take an early settlement in an unrelated legal case just to try and meet their financial demands. Yet even after all this, they abandoned my case, keeping the $2,250 I had already paid without delivering on their promises. After my experience, I began researching Lion Legal Services and discovered numerous complaints about their behavior. Many clients report similar issues: poor communication, broken promises, abrupt withdrawals, and financial exploitation. Even a former employee stated publicly on Indeed that the firm is “throwing clients to the wolves.” This fits with their apparent business model, which seems focused on signing as many clients as possible into a monthly payment system. Instead of prioritizing their clients’ best interests, they appear to take on more cases than they can handle, compromising the quality of their representation. It’s also concerning that Lion Legal Services has a history of changing their firm’s name after receiving significant negative feedback under the previous name. While some positive reviews exist, I can’t help but question their authenticity given the volume of negative experiences shared by clients and employees alike. It almost feels as if these positive reviews were written by friends, family, or staff to counteract the negative complaints. I am writing this review not out of anger, but out of heartbreak

This woman is highly unprofessional and loses control on the court room. She has been reprimanded by the Court for her inappropriate conduct during court as well. She is unprepared and a true rookie (and that’s being nice to considered her lack of knowledge at rookie level). Save your money and find ...a much better choice for an attorney!
