Great Service

Dawn and her staff were very helpful and attentive. Always able to get a hold of someone on the phone. E-mails were answered same day. I was ready to let everything go in order to be done with my divorce. Dawn stepped up as my advocate and did not allow that to happen and I am thankful for that. ... She made the whole process seem effortless. I would highly recommend her.

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.

Unprofessional Office!

I first contacted this office in early May to create a prenuptial agreement for my June wedding. It started off great- they contacted me quickly and sent me the quote of how much it would cost and the demographic paperwork. They also sent me an email with two times for an appointment on June 2nd ask...ing me to select the time that worked best. I emailed them back quickly with the time that worked after I was able to ensure time off from work. I also sent them the demographic sheet complete with very personal information you don't trust just anyone with. This is where it all went downhill. I called 2 times and sent 3 emails to confirm that my information had been received and that the appointment time was set. All of these attempts were to no avail. Mind you I'm the paying customer and I'm having to do all the leg work. Several times I spoke to front desk staff that assured me they would give my message to the right person and I never heard back from them. The paralegal, Shelley, did not answer any of my emails. June 2nd comes and I have taken time off and still have not heard from anyone confirming my appointment. .so i call another lawyer. They pick up on the first ring and within 15 minutes are getting the necessary information to draw up a draft for me. Such a refreshing experience after this nightmare. Today, June 3rd, I open an email from Shelley saying she will talk to the lawyer about squeezing me in. This office is not one you want to represent you! They don't respect your time or value you as a customer!

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.
