DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER

My ex wife and I are 2.5 years into settling the two QUADROs that we’re ordered in our divorce. On the recommendation of my attorney, we paid Nancy Bunn to file the documents for the pension and 401k plans. She initially took a little over a year to “complete” the filings. Then we discovered that ...she had only filed documents for the 401k. “Oh... there’s a pension too?” Another few months pass and Nancy tells us that it’s all complete. My ex recently changed jobs so as part of her separation from her employer she was asked what she wanted them to do with the pension money. It turns out that Nancy has never filed the correct documents and the company was not aware of the QUADRO on the pension. People make mistakes, but this woman is very old and her behavior resembles someone having memory issues. She doesn’t return calls and when you do reach her she babbles in circles and you have to tell her multiple time who you are. I’ve been told that she was a great attorney back in the day, but that day has passed. Don’t take the risk working with Nancy.

My former husband and I did not have attorneys when we had our trial in Orange County. The judge told us to contact Attorney Nancy Bunn to prepare QDROs. We are glad she did because she did a very good job of what appeared to us to be a complicated process. She was available to answer our questions, ...and her fees were reasonable. Now we know why the judge chose her.

Did not even read my divorce decree before filing incorrect paperwork and charging me for it.

Asked her over the phone with detail of my situation. she encouraged me to file paperwork for a QRDO immediately she said. Paid her 2K and sent her my divorce papers which stated the same things that I told her. while she never called me back after filing the paperwork, so after 3 weeks I called her ...and asked her how things were going. She feigned surprise and said she was so shocked that the divorce papers had stated no division of pensions and that her filing was now null and void. I ask her why she did not know that from the start when she read the paperwork. Turns out she never read the divorce papers, just took the money I gave her and filed paperwork that was non-applicable. I asked her to reimburse me because I am not the legal expert and it was not my decision to file those papers, it was hers, and she said I should have known, because she sent the legal documents to me before she filed! Unbelievable!

DO NOT HIRE!!!!!!!!

Received my 3000.00 and never heard back for months. Finally after 6 months of calling and e-mailing. She started my case. I kept on calling for updates and no response. She stated she spent a lot of time on the process but I thought this is what I paid for. The only thing wrong I did was not rea...lly looking into her reviews. But shame on her!!!

Take the Money and run

I hired Nancy to process a QDRO. Paid her the retainer fee and never heard back from her. I tried for over a month to get in touch with her. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the California Bar. Do not use this attorney!
