Joel William Price

My husband and I hired Joel for a post-divorce custody case. Over the course of 13 months, we submitted videos, audio recordings, photos, police reports, texts messages- you name it! All of which depicted my husbands ex denying him visitation, neglecting to take care of their son, and also showed how... poorly my step-son is being treated at home (denied medical treatment, receiving bruises and other questionable marks on his back and the backs of his legs, telling his father that he'll hurt himself if he has to go back to his moms-he's 3!). We dealt mostly with Joel's secretary. And 50% of the time, we would not get a response back if we called or sent an email. If we did, if stated that Joel was busy working on other cases. We asked for a court date back in May- nothing. Then in a August, my husbands ex's attorney filed for a court date. Three days before court, we met with Joel. we sat there and watched as he read through the paperwork in the box with the information we'd given him. Then, he began asking us who was involved in the case- he didn't even know my step-sons name. At the end of it all, he asked my husband and I to go home and mark off what we think should be used as evidence!!! We aren't lawyers! We spent the year getting you the information so you could go through everything and decide what should and should not be used! It was very clear that Mr. Price had not looked at any of the information given to him at any point during the year that had past, even though we had tried to keep in touch with him. He was clearly "too busy" working on other cases, as his assistant, Lynsey said. Now, the opposing attorney is trying to sneak things into the order and Joel Price won't do anything about it until we pay him an additional $3,100 (this is on top of the $3200 we've already paid him). Like is said- don't waste your time- or money!

I hired Joel W Price for my divorce. I only met him once and that was 30 mins before court. I dealt with his secretary from the moment I walked in the door. I gave the secretary all of my information. She said we could send a certified letter to my ex. She informed me that after sending him a certif...ied letter in the mail and him not picking it up we could post the divorce in the newspaper and after 30 days we could file for a court date. After paying more money a total of $850 and finally having a court date, I find out 30 mins before court that things were done wrong and the judge may not grant the divorce. This was the first time I ever met Joel Price. I explained to Joel Price all that I had explained to his secretary and he blamed me for everything. I had my friend who was also going to be my witness with me and he told her that I could have lied to her about how many times I called their office to check on my case!!! Then I also found out I should have taken a class they never informed me about! We went to court and the divorce did not go threw! Why because my ex husband was not served properly. So then Joel Price's secretary calls me about 3 days later and informs me that it will be $1500 more up front to continue the divorce. I told her after all you both screwed up NO WAY!! I hired another attorney. Even though I spent close to the same amount but everything finally went threw with the divorce and I am so happy I did not continue with Joel Price.
