No communication

Similar experience to other reviewers. Frances had no problem responding to emails and phone calls right up until I gave her the retainer fee. Since then, my calls, texts, emails have gone unanswered. At this point I don’t even know if I’m getting divorced. Considering this area of law affects a pers...on’s finances, mental health, children and coparenting relationships, you would think there would be some sort of compassion. I emailed her and requested that she cease all services and refund the unused portion of the retainer fee, and she promised to get back with me over a week ago. Now I’ll have to find a new lawyer to accomplish that and finish my case so that I can move on and out of this limbo.

Amazing and Sweet ❤️

I was referred to Ms. Frances Dunham after calling three other attorneys pertaining to a CPS case against a family member. I found her to be very responsive, empathetic, and honestly just a very caring person. We haven’t gone to court yet and I don’t know if I will have to retain her, but from what I...’ve seen I would definitely recommend her and would be willing to campaign for this woman. She is a gem!

The Absolute best attorney

I have been a client of Frances Dunham for 3 years. I highly reccomend her for very complex difficult cases regarding child custody and divorce. She knows her business, 20 years experience is where it all comes from. If you have a difficult case regarding children, perhaps foster parents in cus...tody battle with biological parents or other family law matters. Frances is the absolute best at what she does! She doesn't make the the laws, She knows it, and knows how to follow it from any angle. She is strong, powerful, intelligent, compassionate, as she herself is a parent putting a $ amount to her fees in like comparing a Mercedes to Kia ...both great vehicles, which one do feel safer in if you were to crash? EXACTLY ! Would I hire again? ABSOLUTELY
