Hired Gavin, who was great and quick on the phone. On top of it to collect payment, then disappeared “for vacation” for three weeks. Did not get to meet with him to review my case before the hearing. I traveled across the country to obtain a document that was important for the judge, gave it to him t...wo weeks before the case, he never gave it to her! He was standoffish in court! It’s almost as if he was afraid of the other attorney (I’ll admit she was a mean old lady) and the judge (a stern woman but friendly).. had his tail between his legs the whole time. After the hearing I asked him if he even cared about my case and he said as lawyers “you’re only paid to believe and help the client”. I said you’re done. Do whatever to get away from me and my case. I was cold in the water and didn’t have my son for a year because of his lackadaisical work ethic and inability to converse with female leaders. Go back on vacation and stop practicing law you’re ruining people’s lives. Literally.

We hired Mr. Curtis to represent our family in a modification of parenting time & enforcement case, where we felt our son’s long- term well-being was in serious risk with the other parent, due to their inattentiveness and their callous attitude towards right and wrong. There were genuine concerns, a...s he did not want to go anymore with my ex-spouse (my son being 17). However, after thoroughly explaining our case, what we wanted (modification and child interview), the strengths of it, and our available legal options, he still went AGAINST our wishes and did not do what we asked. After using his services for modification, 2 court appearances where he asked about five questions, he dragged his feet and did not submit the paperwork to change attorneys (even after a voice to voice). The new attorney we did get, was able to, in the end to get exactly what WE HAD ASKED and then some. Mr. Curtis is personable, but his court performance and his strategy was well below sub par and we would not recommend him. With about five years’ experience, you can find other attorneys with more experience and better courtroom strategy. We spent close to $3000 and pretty much got no results from him. His pleasant demeanor aside, we feel Mr. Curtis did not take our case seriously and his strategy was flawed because he was not listening to us; he was dismissive of our concerns and the paperwork and did not take advantage of other legal options, which would have greatly helped our case and avoid unnecessary costs. We are happy now, since our son is in mine and my spouse’s care. In summation: nice person, likable attorney, but not experienced enough, a bit dismissive, and lacked a good strategy because of not listening to client. Thank you.
