Disappointed

I hired Ms Laubach to assist me with child support issues. I felt like her secretary was more helpful during the process. I paid my retainer up front. Ms Laubach also got payment from the defendant's parents. I followed up with Ms Laubach after the case had gone to court, because the issues still... weren't resolved. One issue was paperwork that was supposed to have already be faxed weren't on file with the attorney general. So, Ms Laubach "refaxed" the paperwork and also sent a couple of emails out. I asked if I was going to be reimbursed any money for lawyer fees, since she had received payment from the other party. She told me she had to "redo" the billing due to "dealing with recent issues." This was confusing to me. It wasn't additional things I was requesting. I was wanting the original issues to be resolved. It wasn't my fault the paperwork wasn't received by the attorney general. Why should I have to pay for that? Also, how long can it possibly take to send a couple of emails? Anyway, this was in February. I have yet to receive any reimbursement of legal fees. I keep emailing her every month. She keeps giving all kinds of excuses. I have yet to even see a bill. She was paid more than double her retainer and did minimal work! And my issues still aren't resolve, but I refuse to use her services any longer. If I ever get any money back from her, I will use it to find a better attorney. Hopefully not a crook and one that will follow through.

This client's case cost a total of just over $1800 - she paid $1000 and her ex paid $1500. She received a refund for the difference. To infer the Laubach Law Office was doubled paid is deceitful. This case started as a supposed "uncontested" case but turned out to not to be as the other party would not cooperate. Costs of a case increase when an agreement cannot be reached.

Unproffessional and not competent in a court room setting and very deceitful

Mrs Laubach is not a trustworthy attorney, caught her misleading me on numerous occassions on trial date, tries to overstate the type of abilities that she has along with her lack of capabilities She tends to be demeaning, and not at all personable. She comes off very over bearing but in the court ro...om she fails to keep the persona up when it is needed. I am very disappointed in regards to her representation, which now I will have incur more cost to hire another attorney to appeal the verdict of my case. She claimed that it would be easy to receive back attorney fees and she did not prevail in this request either. So she took my money and never called me back for clarification of the full outcome of my case. I have now hired another attorney that has had experience dealing with her and when I spoke of my experience with her as my attorney, they were not surprised, my new law firm has also helped other people that she has not been truthful or forth coming with. She receives the money and then she shows up and I had to refresh her on our case, it was a very unsettling feeling having to constantly remind her to question things that should of been common sense in our case. Keep in mind this was in court room when I reminding her of what to ask the opposing side. SAVE YOUR $200.00 AN HOUR for a competent attorney, she is a far cry from being able to provide a good representation in a court of law.
