Alfred N. Kay Jr.

At first, I had high expectations that Mr. Kay would and could jog me through the divorce process as a ‘turn and burn’. 1: He absolutely forgot to file for my Temp Orders hearing, so months passed for nothing. 2: When I did actually get to talk to him, vs emailing his secretary, he was consistently ...arrogant and interrupted me- he even yelled at me a time or two. 3: During TO hearing, he even irritated the judge! 4: Ultimately, I had to pay FOUR retainer fees total, which was over $14k (I am still paying back loans for). No ‘turn and burn’ case for me- over 2 years to finish. I was too invested to switch counsel though. The only one who got me what I wanted & deserved, was God with life’s plans. = Full custody of my kid(s). However, Mr Kay and my ex got a LOT of my money, and neither one deserved that.

Mr. Kay was hired after we were having some difficulty with a tenant. The case was complicated and was performed in a county where evictions was not an easy task. We were able to complete the eviction although it was a painful process due to the county. The attorney was knowledgeable and helped us un...derstand the law and apply it to our situation. well worth the money

Please, for your sake, do not hire this lawyer. He was initially charming and made us big promises. He delivered on none of them. He wouldn’t review evidence. He wouldn’t respond to us even when the opposing counsel was making demands of us or scaring us with threats to go back to court. He didn’t ke...ep us updated on our retainer like he is supposed to. He would just hit us with huge bills without explanation. He was rude to us and clearly stopped caring once he was paid. He will not speak to you. He will not fight for you. He just acts like you don’t exist once he has been paid. It was a horrible experience. He won’t answer calls or emails. Yet somehow you will be charged for all his “work.” You will have no idea what’s going on. He wouldn’t fight for anything and kept just giving the other side what they wanted. I think hiring him destroyed our case. I have never see a lawyer who cares so little about his clients. He will not listen to you or communicate with you. He isn’t interested in fighting for you. Another thing, I would have to ask other lawyers to answer my questions. My lawyer was so disinterested and non-resposive I would have to pay or seek out other lawyers through friends who would answer my questions. Alfred caused me considerable stress during an already stressful time.

Mr. Kay was perfect for our case. He was patient, kind, knowledgeable and funny. The team they have in Georgetown was more of a support system than a law firm. I was able to ask questions at any time during the work day and receive an answer faster than expected. Paperwork was processed quickly, ...the decree was almost spot on with the first draft based on my requests, and the day of court was so smooth it seems unreal. I highly recommend Mr. Kay to anyone who finds themselves in need of a divorce attorney.
