NO NO NO

I am an over 50, professional male and last December I visited Eliot Krieger with the law firm of Jarvis & Krieger to represent me in filing for divorce. I selected the Jarvis & Krieger firm because they advertise that they will “provide a team of skilled lawyers” … “among the best in Califo...rnia” .. “that will care and fight very hard for me to win my case at a reasonable fee”… using their “skilled and competent staff”. “They will let me know my Legal Rights, Right from the Beginning” …. I’m a bit of an over-organized individual and went to Mr. Krieger with a complete summary of assets, expenses and history since the beginning of what was an eight year marriage. I had everything. Mr. Krieger provided an estimate of what fees I would incur provided there were no unexpected turn of events. After seven months of slow responses, documents that contained errors, an arbitration that was for more than what I could have settled with my spouse in the beginning, on my own, and legal fees that were approaching 2 ½ times the amount of the original estimate, I terminated their services. What I thought was a fairly straightforward case turned out to be more expensive from both a settlement perspective as well as my out of pocket legal fees and it was taking more time than what I believed to be reasonable. I would never use Eliot Krieger or the firm of Jarvis & Krieger for any future legal services.
