Posted by anonymous | April 23, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Hands down the worst

With a CPS finding of reason to believe and the judge's assertion that there had been domestic violence in the marriage, my assertion to Mr Ecke was that all I cared about was protecting the child in my case. Mr Ecke dropped the ball over and over again. He showed up to ONLY the last hour of mediatio...n was more concerned about a larger monetary settlement than helping me put in place protections for my child. Due in large part to his actions or should I say lack of action, a year and 4 months AFTER the signed binding mediation was on file my divorce was final. The papers on file were not the papers I signed and were so poorly written they were unenforceable. Beyond that I at one point he forwarded an email to me in which he had spoken disparagingly about me. When I ask him about the remarks he said that opposing counsel was more amicable when he did so. Unacceptable! At the end of the 2 year 4 month process with reason to believe and domestic violence as well as numerous documented enforceable motions to enforce that were never addressed I ended up with papers that were considerably more restrictive to me than standard custody in Texas or the signed binding mediated agreement. Due in large part to the poorly written decree 12 months after the decree was final I was back in court dealing with motions filed by opposing counsel. Mr Eckey is kind, personable and makes assertions of results, however, in my case he failed miserably!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
