Great billing. Nothing else can be expected

Very expensive, difficult to talk too after she is hired. Bills are sent very promptly, You will be charged for the reception even if she sent you the wrong date. and would charge again to tell you the correct date. I wanted some changes on my divorce agreement, just could not get thru to her. Re...ception tells me Lawyer is busy send E-mail. Unfortunately lawyer does not understand and sends some other clarifications to E-mail. Ultimately found it easier to work thru the Ex's lawyer who charged 1/5th the Stagg.

We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience. Our firm works hard to provide professional legal services, timely communication, and clear billing in accordance with our fee agreements. Yes, our firm does bill for the time spent working on a client’s case, including communications, document review, drafting, case strategy, and other legal work performed on the client’s behalf. Just as any professional expects to be paid for the work they perform, attorneys and staff must also bill for the time and services provided. Because of confidentiality obligations, we cannot discuss the specific details of any case in a public forum. However, we take all concerns seriously and welcome the opportunity to review any questions regarding billing, communication, or services directly with the client. Thank you for your feedback.

Stay away take on way too many case. Provide misleading representation and take your money.

Frustrating experience. I had to give a star just to post this. Rashaun Nicole Stagg and Stagg & Associates billed nearly 10 hours for excessive, unnecessary emails they initiated. I was misled about my coverage plan (told it only included 20 hours) and then asked to pay more, plus another retaine...r when I didn’t agree with their terms. Justin also showed little understanding of buyout matters. Overall, unprofessional, poor communication, and questionable billing practices. I would not recommend this firm.

We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience. Our firm takes concerns regarding communication, billing, and client expectations seriously. We strive to communicate billing terms, scope of representation, and any limitations of third-party legal coverage as clearly as possible. Divorce matters involving property division, buyout issues, and negotiations can require detailed review and communication, and we understand that the process can be frustrating.

Does not care about her clients

My experience with this lawyer was terrible. I was seeking a divorce from my ex, a protection order was in place against my ex due to physical abuse. I was in an extremely delicate state and this lawyer was not compassionate. She did not care about me nor my circumstances. I had to contact her for... progress and to keep the momentum. She kept forgetting that the restraining order was in place and asking me to contact my ex. The documentation presented to me would always contain many mistakes, as bad as my kids' name being missing in certain paragraphs. Also, she did not fight for me, she did not care. I was just a number, and this was just a cookie-cutter process for her. I truly regret utilizing her services. None of the documentation was explained to me. She, my ex's lawyer and the mediator, that was utilized, were all in cahoots. I felt that I was pressured to agree to certain stipulations that I should not have agreed to. I am worse off than I was before the divorce.

We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. However, because this review was posted anonymously, we have no way to identify who you are or determine whether you were actually a client of our firm. Our firm takes allegations regarding client communication, document preparation, and representation very seriously. We also have an obligation to maintain client confidentiality, so we cannot discuss the details of any case, protective order, divorce, mediation, or attorney-client communication in a public forum. We strive to provide compassionate, professional, and thorough representation, especially in sensitive family law matters. If you were a client of our firm, we encourage you to contact our office directly so that we can review your concerns and determine what, if anything, occurred. Thank you.
