Alan Craig Haston

While I have no doubt that Mr. Haston is very qualified, and his staff seems very nice, I hired an attorney to accomplish something. Like many have said here, my initial consultation was full of hope. Once I paid my retainer though, my case was transferred to an associate that I can only assume was i...ncredibly overworked. I hung in there for a year, hoping we would accomplish something towards what should have been a fairly simply divorce (short term and no children), and spent a lot of money. I changed attorneys, actually got to communicate with the attorney I hired, and wrapped everything up in a few months. I wish I would have wised up sooner...

This law firm has cost me nearly $100k and has proved to be incompetent. Craig Haston negligently drafted and had me sign a settlement agreement that awarded all items in the marital home including my personal property, heirlooms etc. to my wife. He then tried to blame me for this! His assistant poin...ted out that the original draft of the agreement had a carve out whose intention was to allow me to retain such items, but Haston ignored it. The State Bar, remarkably, excuses such acts of omission and negligence from its disciplinary process, so I have no comeback against a lawyer I wish I had never appointed and who has been a huge let down. I recommend taking your business elsewhere. I agree with Susan: this firm takes on more work than it can handle competently.

I had used Craig in a previous divorce and was pleased. My advice to anyone now thinking about using him now-- DO NOT! I could not believe the difference in how he performs now. He takes on too many clients that he can not perform his job in a timely manner and then over charges for work complet...ed. When I hired him for my Pre/Post Marital Agreements he said that he would be able to do the work. Come to find out that he was not able to review and provide comments on documents for months due to "new" clients. So basically, once he has you as a client he puts his efforts on getting more clients without doing the work timely for his existing clients. His excuse is that it is just him doing the work. Well... "Don't get new clients if you can not do the existing work timely". It was months before I got any input back with frequent calls I made to press him to do the work. Also I felt that he was churning on the work just to get the hours worked much higher. He made a few comments on a draft agreement provided to him, and had 1 in person meeting, that he showed up late to, and charged me almost $7,000.00. This charge was $3,000.00 more than my fiance's attorney who did the bulk of the work with drafting the agreements and making all the changes. I had recommended him to my friends previously but not anymore. Stay away from Craig Haston if you want your work to be done well and at a reasonable price.

I'm not one to typically review anything, but my service was so poor that I feel like I don't want others to fall prey to The Haston Law Firm. I originally had a $300 consult with Craig Haston and he filled me up with hope and peace of mind. I paid my $3000 retainer and then nothing. I was assigned a...nother Lawyer to my case named Corey Miller who was so over booked with cases that after 8 months we got no results. During that time I got no feed back. I had to call, email and push them to do their jobs. Essentially they took my money and provided next to nothing return. Please do yourself a favor and do not use this Firm-
