Tough to know where to begin.
Hard to know what to say really. Negotiation skills with ex wife were very poor. She purposefully provoked her and although part of it i liked and I did want the support she would almost always get the facts wrong. She negotiated my ex to pay all back taxes from her business without knowing the IRS ...does not care what a CA divorce agreement says. My ex bankrupted them and I'm on the hook for 1000,000 dollars. Jenny wanted to file a contempt motion but because she got me to waive spousal support and attorney's fees from the ex I had no way to recover that money. She Never let me review documents before submitted cause it was last minute. Yes, she's extremely supportive and cares but provokes the other side, makes fake voices on her answering machine and literally posed as her own secretary to provoke my ex wife. She also never gave me a running invoice and hit me with a 10,000 bill when I had been telling her I wanted one. y. Never let me review documents before submitted cause it was last minute. Yes, she's extremely supportive and cares but I told her the whole time I told her I couldn't afford more tha 5k and that mediation was ultimately best. The judge even said in court the paperwork she did was not necessary at the stage we were in. I had zero idea the bill was getting that high and asked over and over for invoices. Made promises of spousal support that were waaaay off. My ex mAde 3 times as much as me, she got the house and still left me with tax debt. She pissed off my ex enough to make her battle back too hard. The ex She still won't talk to me even tho we really didn't fight till Jenny became my lawyer. I hired Jenny because I needed a voice and was heartbroken, but Woulda been better without a lawyer, especially one who gets in a childish cat fight. I paid 9400 of the 10,000 and she went so far as to tell her assistant I touched her son innappropriately a a form of blackmail. Im A special Education teacher and her son spent great times with me. I watched him for one day, was obviously nothing but appropriate with him and she comes back with accusations 3 years later. her assistant backed off very quickly when key her know she prob shouldn't assist in false accusations And if she believed Jenny should call the police immediately. Needless to say it was so obvious I was in the right and she apologized profusely and asked for forgiveness. Jenny I'm sure still thinks I abandoned her and her son and was a star in my case. The bill stills is coming, adding years to my teaching career In order to make up for it. Probably should have filed a motion to change MSA because of incompetent attorney. Never thought of suing Jenny cause she's a friend I grew up with. Just so sad what happened. Perhaps if she's learned and doesn't let emotion get him the way and STOPS LYING she could do a decent job. She just needs to stop promising the world and actually listen to clients suggestions instead of only their feelings. She'd make an excellent counselor. Maybe it was just a tough time in her career or life at that point. InStill consider her a friend but wish she would somehow make it right by admitting mistakes and helping me in tax court by saying she missed a huuuuge law in my divorce that really put me in a bad bad position. I MIGHT recommend her if she has stopped the lying and learned from mistakes. It seems like she does ok in other cases.
Sorry Jenny it's just how I feel. I still think you mean well and have a very good heart. You just overreacted to fighting and didn't use My suggestions and even demands from tough tough case. Hope it can be water under the bridge, and still think you are prob good at what you do. Proceed with caution but she could be very good?!
