Posted by Christina | February 06, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

You’ll work for yourself

I would never recommend anyone to use Emily as their attorney. I hired her many many years ago to represent me for my child custody/ support case and she did nothing to help me. I did all the leg work by providing her all my documents, going to the court to retrieve old documents from previous cases ...with the father of my children. The day of court she showed up with no paperwork, good thing I was prepared and had a copy of the whole case with me that she used. After months of not hearing from her with an update she informed me the judge threw out my case due to the other parent having outstanding violations and that I could pay the tickets myself to live forward which turned out to be a lie years later. I went to the court to try to proceed with the case on my own and the staff thought I was crazy and advised me to fire my attorney because they hard record she showed up to court on an unknown date and represented me and the judge did actually grant me full custody and child support which I did not know about for years. When I asked for the final documents they informed me the child support will not be valid since the attorney filed the order after hearing incorrectly and left off the child support but it was mentioned in the minute order. Per the court staff I would have to refill all the paperwork and serve the other parent again and go before a judge. It’s impossible for me to serve the other parent as he is in jail far away and financially I do not have the funds nor time to do this as this has been a case going since about 2013. Do not waste your time or money because you will be left doing the attorney work on your own.

Hi Christina, I'm sorry to hear you have run into issues in your case, during and years after I represented you. I wish you would have contacted me with your concerns so that I could attempt to ameliorate them. You can still call me, if you wish, to discuss the case. My email address is [email protected]. I like to think that most of my clients are satisfied with my representation and I'm sorry to hear you were not. Please contact me if I can help right the wrong you feel you experienced. Emily
