Miranda Bouchey

Abandoned mid-case, non-responsive, still holding my money. I hired this firm for a relocation case that should have been painfully simple. This should have been straightforward administrative work—drafting a stipulation and filing it with the court. Instead, I experienced complete negligence. The... attorney missed court-ordered deadlines and failed to follow clear instructions I provided about how to handle the case. Mid-case, after telling me “let’s jump on this” when my ex agreed to sign, she disappeared entirely. I never heard from her again. I emailed a second attorney at the firm asking if he was now handling my case. No response for three days. When he finally called, he was completely unfamiliar with my case and I had to explain everything to him from scratch. I was billed for this call. My ex-husband and I both signed the agreed stipulation on February 9th. I emailed on February 17th requesting a status update—no response. On February 19th, I called the court clerk myself and discovered the stipulation had never been filed. Ten days had passed. I called the firm and the attorney admitted he had “no idea why it wasn’t filed” and couldn’t explain why he hadn’t responded to my email. He filed it while I was on the phone with me—only because I caught the failure myself. Throughout this process, I was billed for communication I explicitly said was unnecessary, for calls that only existed because the firm made mistakes, and for work that added no value to my case. The total cost was $3,000 for what should have been simple administrative work on an agreed case. I sent a formal letter weeks ago requesting both a fee adjustment and the return of my unused retainer funds (approximately $600). I have received zero response. When I call the office, the only people who answer barely speak English and cannot help me. This feels like a scam operation. After hiring them, I found multiple other reviews describing the exact same pattern: missed deadlines, poor communication, excessive billing, being abandoned mid-case, and difficulty getting money back. I deeply wish I had read those reviews first. Do not hire this firm. You will pay for work they don’t do, receive no communication, and be left to manage your own case while they bill you for their failures.

This attorney misled me from the consultation all the way through when I fired her. I was told I had a strong case. I was told they could file against my ex-husband for the retainer I paid them. They were my attorneys on file for 2 weeks. Charged me $2,800 to do absolutely nothing. And when I say not...hing I mean nothing. I had filed a motion prior to hiring them which was approved with the courts. The case that I consulted them with had been closed and their expert opinion letter they drafted to me was literally based upon just the motion my ex-husband filed. I spent four and a half hours gathering evidence and drafting a response to their opinion letter and my husband's motion just to have a 2-hour phone call with them we're at the end they once again told me that I should settle and I don't have a case. Interestingly enough the courts seemed to disagree. Now they're taking $3,000 for me to do nothing. Do not go with this attorney at all. Research the laws yourself. Your time is worth more than the money you're going to give them to do nothing

Paid the $2,000 retainer fee had her retype up the paper I already had typed up from a previous attorney then I decided to drop the case and still haven't got any of my money back yet or a phone call or anything I've been calling and the only people who seem to answer are people who can barely speak ...English almost seems like a setup and a scam which it could be since I haven't got any money or heard back anything...its been 3 months

I was working with Miranda for months. Even between 2 different companies. She approached me and asked me to hire her while she went out on her own. So I did. She promised me she was ruthless in the courtroom and I was excited to see that in action. She also knew my situation well as I didn’t have th...at much money. I filled up my retainer and it was used up pretty quickly. She became extremely busy with other cases so I rarely got to talk to her. But her husband took over with most of the paperwork. He had asked me only once to replenish my retainer. Before that request, I would still pay any bill sent my way. Out of the blue, I got an email saying she was dropping me as a client for not keeping my retainer full and not providing vital information. I gave her all the information she needed when they asked for it. Even gave them written letters that was supposed be typed out and given to a CFI. I paid for that to be done and it was never taken care of. I tried to reach out to them to see if we could continue working together somehow and someway. But since then, I have been ghosted. I was looking forward to working with her, but now I feel I was pushed into this corner. I’m sorry it ended this way.
