I've sat on this review for 4 months now. Initially, I wasn't going to say anything, but I've been suffering and struggling. I was with JL for almost 4 years for a divorce. My marriage was only 2 years. Things started off great, and there were wins. When we finally had an agreement after about a y...ear and we submitted the judgment. Mind you, i was being dragged around outside of court and scrapping by in another country because my ex had to be supported even though I had full custody. Jl talked me out of filing for support. Said it looks bad if you're going for custody and money at the same time. The final judgment was kicked back 5 times! If that wasn't bad enough JL office took at least 3 months every time to make corrections. And the corrections were never 100%. I was blind and just signed things because the goal was to get it over with. During this whole process I was still being harassed and abused by my stbx. JL just kept telling me to deal with it and I'm almost divorced. Well.. the 5th time the judgement was kicked back all hell broke loose. My ex filed a bunch of stuff dragging out the process another year and I recieved services from someone who obviously didn't want to be in court or on my case. She doesn't check her employees work and files things at the last minute. How do I know she doesn't check her employees work? Because they messed up the number BIG time and miscalculated my exs income, they just took the other lawyers word for it! It was soo crazy that I had to start crunching numbers because what I was ordered to pay made absolutely no sense! Instead of paying like 220 for child support... I'm paying almost 900 a month for cs, ss and arrears. Mind you i already supported my ex the first year! Make it make sense people! I told her all the things my ex was lying on and it just went in one ear and out the other. I waited 3 months after the last hearing before I finally gave up and found a different atturny. I have been hemorrhaging money between bills, court orderd payments, and new atturny fees. Why is my divorce taking 4 years when I was only married 2?! She doesn't listen, getting ahold of her is a nightmare, getting copies of documents you or opposition field is a whole thing in itself. Just stay away people. Everything people have said in these reviews is true. My only regret is that I was too stupid to move on sooner. I was blindly loyal and I am paying for it. She won't argue your case or try to convince the judge. She will just file motions, responses (when she feels like it) and then say it is what it is. You do not want this.

If I could put 0 stars, I would. Extremely disappointed. Documentation was inaccurate, listed wrong case number and Court Address. I asked for copies of documentation and never received it. A judgement was due to the court 7/6/23 and was not submitted until 9/25/23, which was then rejected due to a l...ack of signature (which I had warned them about). My concerns were not addressed in a timely manner, I sent emails and voicemails which were hardly ever returned. Save your money, don't bother with this law firm.

Absolutely terrible law office, I would have been better off filing myself. Bad legal advice that ended up costing me thousands, very unresponsive, incompetence on every level, including document mistakes, failure to file documents in a timely manner resulting in lengthy delays, and promising to take... care of things and never following thru. Find someone else, seriously!
