Frances V. Dunham

I hired Frances to represent me as my ex took me back to court to try and take my 50-50 custody. Throughout the process it was a disaster- rarely returning emails, wouldn’t take my phone calls about questions, sending me paperwork to look over that contained multiple errors, and even showed up late t...o court hearings twice. The main hearing I had to print and bring my own paperwork as her computer had “crashed” and she’d lost all documentation. You’re better off representing yourself!

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.

You people must be smoking some bad stuff because Frances has been our attorney for 15 years and every time the other party applies for an increase child support, Frances WINS our case each and every time. She is well worth every dollar spent! She is fair, very detailed, honest, responsive and alwa...ys available even during her the rough patch in her life. In addition, we have never received an invoice for anything other then the services provided and at that, it's the retainer fee.
