Robert L. Hempen

I hired him because I had limited time to find an attorney and needed a payment plan ($1000 a month was my budget). Anyway I paid him in full and then despite my efforts never heard from him again. He missed deadlines, never returned my calls or emails, and now his office looks completely abandoned a...fter trying to get ahold of him for 3 months. My hearing date is in less then a week and I'm stuck with no lawyer and no refund.

Where do I begin, when we hired Mr. Hempen we gave him a very large retainer, I never did get a bill, a statement or even a call back. I guess I should be lucky he showed up in court for the hearing. Well that was all he did, showed up in court (Once), when the order was sent to him from the opposi...ng counsel, he ignored it.. His office staff was NEVER helpful and always said, "he was out of the office". He let months go by and NEVER return a phone call. His ignoring of our situation has cost us an additional twenty five thousand dollars as I found a minute order online that was entered as a Judgment against my husband. Even recently he has ignored numerous attempts, by phone and certified mail to reach him from our new counsel. Shameful way to run a Law office.

This slim took $2000.00 to file a child support claim and represent me in court. I gave him a shoe box full of credit card bills, prooving expenses. Never got him on the phone, after the initial appointment. Months later, I found out he never filed for child support or anything. I complained I wanted... my money back and my shoe box full of receipts and credit card bills. I got no reply. I then went to the Nevada State Bar, to complain about him. I got my money back, but not one receipt, or credit card bill. He claimed he had lost them.

This Attorney was very bad with communicating with his paying client, Everytime communication was made with his office I was the one calling them for updates on my case. Finally before I received what I paid him for he sends a letter stating that he was removing himself from my case !!! Not happy wit...h his work at all DONT HIRE THIS LAWYER!!!!

Mr. Hempen talks the talk but can't walk the walk. He nor his office staff are organized. When emailing , with or without documents, I very seldom ever received a response. If I did, it would be a request to resend because of one reason or another. All responses were made by his office staff, whic...h are not attorneys. This attorney does not return phone calls. He would continually confuse my case with other clients. He will not or is afraid of aggressive attorneys. He and his staff were continually making clerical errors. After requesting copies of specific records from his office files for over 9 months, he not his office staff were not ever able to locate the documents. In regard to the division of property, he did a very poor representation on my behalf. He failed to cover numerous issues pertaining to child support, bank accounts, missing marital saving and checking accounts. He allowed my ex's attorney to negotiate the division of property with vehicles, which did not belong to me or my ex. Avoid hiring this attorney! I wish I would have.
