TRAUMATIZING EXPERIENCE

I hired Mr. Ibrahim to represent me in my divorce case, specifically regarding child custody and spousal support. After our initial conversation, I never spoke with him again directly. Instead, all communication was handled through his paralegal assistant, Elizabeth. We exchanged emails where Mr. Ibr...ahim and another member of their office were copied, but I never received direct communication from him. The only matter he seemed proactive about was reminding me about the retainer fee. Before my first court hearing, Mr. Ibrahim assigned another lawyer named Jason to represent me remotely. Jason and I spoke briefly over the phone. However, the court did not approve the request for a remote appearance, which meant we were required to appear in person, and Mr. Ibrahim would be the one representing me. Our check-in time was scheduled for 8:45 AM, and the hearing was set for 10:00 AM. I arrived early at 8:15 AM and sent Mr. Ibrahim a message to inform him that I was already there. I also emailed his staff to let them know that I was waiting outside the courtroom. This was my first time in court, and I did not know what to expect. 9:00 AM came and passed, then 10:00 AM, and there was still no sign of Mr. Ibrahim—not even a text message. Finally, shortly after 11:00 AM, he called to apologize and said he had car trouble. When we entered the courtroom, I felt overwhelmed and wanted to cry. My ex-husband was already there with his lawyer seated on the opposite side of the courtroom. The judge was clearly unhappy and stated that everyone had been made to wait. Not only was Mr. Ibrahim significantly late, but it also became apparent that he knew very little about my case. At one point, the judge directed a question to me directly because he could not answer it. I have already paid more than $10,000 for his services, and the most recent invoice I received was for an additional $4,600. In my experience, he did little beyond filing my case and treated the situation as a business transaction rather than providing competent legal representation. That first court hearing was very traumatizing.
