Laurie J. Stern

I hired L. Stern for a Family Law issue and was completely amazed by her lack of interest. She did not represent me the way I had asked in the original consultation and was completely unprepared to go to court, so I felt I had to accept an agreement I wasn't happy with. The first consultation was fu...ll of hope and comments like "yes, we can do that" then nothing. She would ask me for information I had already given her in the first consultation so I knew she never even looked at my case after that. I had to pay thousands for her to talk to misc. people and other lawyers in her own office (if she even did) for no purpose. When I asked for copies of emails, notes of phone calls and consultations I had paid thousands for she gave me nothing but the petitions I already had. My first words were "I am not looking for a mediator, but representation" what I got was a expense way of her forwarding emails from the opposing attorney. When she did have an opinion I felt she was representing the opposing client and never stood up for my interests just wanted it to end.
