Extremely poor ETHICS

This office hyped us up on our custody case, just to fail us over and over again! We were told to expect emergency orders within a certain amount of time, we were asked if we had witnesses/proof/testimonies, we were also told that we had a case that was highly expected to win.... win our kids custody... for their safety and well-being. In the end, they dragged this out, charging thousands every month, they ran off our key witnesses, charged double on a lot of things, they kept on passing our case to other attorney's after the others would leave their practice and then charging for the news ones to study our case all over again, and then turned a blind eye when we'd bring up our concerns. When we told them that their 1st attorney ran off our key witness by her rudeness and lack of professionalism, they stated there was no way that the witness would even testify, and given the slightest possibility, how would they know this was even true and would laugh at us. Also, when we would point out that they were double charging for some items, and that it was unfair for the multiple new attorney's (that would get our case passed down to them) to charge for the same thing the previous attorney charged for; the would give us a minimal credit and would deny the bigger charges. Bryan Fagan and his practice are very unprofessional, do not care at all for you or your case (but they have a big talk), have not ethics, but are very quick to withdraw thousands monthly from your bank account. I would never wish what I went through with them... for anyone!

Negative stars

If I could give negative stars I would! Seriously the worse experience I have ever encountered with anything. I hired this office in March of 2021 because I needed a cheap uncontested divorce. In June they had sent me another families documents, when I say documents I mean everything! Addresses, cust...ody agreement, everyone's names including children. I brought this to their attention and everyone blamed everyone else. They never made it a big deal except to let me know my attorney was no longer with the firm. In July they still had not done anything more with my case. Finally got a new attorney at the beginning of August. She told me she would fix everything and would be done in 10 days as the final decree was all that was left. At the end of September she finally got around to doing my paperwork. My ex and I both signed everything and it was sent to the court on October 19th 2021. One week later the judge informed us that the original petition was signed incorrectly by the attorney. They fixed that and said it would be fine. In December they told me my ex would need to resign waivers for the original petition. He did and they filed that. Then the judge told us that those other families documents were also sent to the court and attached to my case! After this they said I HAVE to go to trial!! Trial for an uncontested divorce. At the trial January 10th the judge told me NO judge would sign my papers the way they were! Even though both parties agreed to them, they were not done correctly and still would not grant my divorce! I have spent over $8,000 with this law firm and have an outstanding balance of almost $4,000. They have charged me weekly fees and for every single thing that needed redone. They have also charged me for the trial that would have never happened had I of hired a competent attorney who actually knew what they were doing.

Shoddy and incompetent

I hired this firm to file discovery on my ex so I could know what he had financially. I hired them in FEBRUARY. I received the information 30 minutes before our scheduled mediation JULY 6 . I still had no idea what my ex had financially and my attorney informs me he has not looked over any of the ...information because he is out of town. I hired them to do one thing, find out what my ex had and they failed to provide the information until it was too late. They consistently waited until the last minute to file anything and my lawyer was quick to point the finger of blame to me or his co-workers. 15,000 is what I was billed for shoddy, lazy legal work.

ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY

When I first started working with the business, I was told this would be an easy case and would not take over a year or above $5,000. This was an absolute lie; I spend over $14,000 and over a year to get my divorced finalized. My first lawyer was great, but she left after 5 months, and I was not not...ified of her leaving until a month after she left. After she left everything started going downhill, my second lawyer left the company after 2 months and again I was not notified until after he left. I was passed onto a third lawyer who was awful. He constantly had misspellings in legal paperwork, did not give me his email, did not communicate with his paralegals, sent my ex-husband paperwork that I did not approve of and did not do his job. At one point I was calling him and asking him to do his job because the paralegals didn’t have an update for me. I asked him what his plan was for the divorce, and he told me “I really don’t know what to tell you, I don’t know”. I called Molly and Audria to help me resolve my issues several times, and each time they spent over a week ignoring my emails and phone calls. I called the new paralegals I was working with to help me with my divorce as quickly as possible. What my lawyer could not get done in 4 months these two paralegals got done in 4 days. I had spent thousands of dollars to have my lawyer to lie and not do his work. They double charge you all they time. They don’t care if you get your divorce, all they want is your money. They pray on those who are desperate to get out of a bad situation. I had even asked Bryan Fagan to help me with my situation and he never responded. DO NOT GO TO THEM THEY SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED! THEY WILL LEAVE YOU WORSE OFF THEN YOU EXPECTED! They pride them selves on great customer service but every time I need help they are never there.
