George Robert Horrigan

From the first phone consultation to the separation from Mr. Horrigan as a client, he and his entire staff have been nothing but unprofessional. He presents himself as bully - which is entirely true - sadly he isn't picky about who he chooses to bully. Clients included. His staff is unhelpful, UN-kno...wledgeable and they do not return phone calls. His paralegal failed to properly submit my paperwork, which she claimed was due to my not having provided proper information, however a secondary paralegal in the same office was able to submit the EXACT same paper work with no problems - nearly 2 months later. This resulted in a rescheduled court date, of which I was not notified and would not have known if I hadn't called myself to follow up the day before. Additionally, I attempted to contact paralegal #1 for over 2 weeks with no success before, upon my demand, they forwarded my paperwork to paralegal #2. During which time the receptionist would take my name, number, and would assure me a call back that I would never receive. On my (second) court date which was scheduled to start at 8:30, I did not see or hear from Mr. Horrigan until 9:25. I sat in a courtroom with no visible representation for nearly an hour before he showed up. I found out the day after that his receptionist EMAILED me while I was in the courtroom to tell me that he was looking for me. No phone call, no text. An email. IN COURT, while under extreme stress stemming from a year and half long battle over my divorce and trying to make the best decision possible for my family (children) Mr. Horrigan accused me of hiding things, called me passive aggressive, told me that he felt like he was fighting me, told me that I was unable to make good decisions, threatened to remove himself from my case, yelled at me outside of the courtroom, demanded that I stop raising my voice at him (all the while he is pointing and continuing to yell in my face) chastised me in the courtroom in front of the judge, my ex and his attorney, and ultimately removed himself as council. That decision was actually made very loudly and publicly in the hallway after I refused to let him bully me into make a choice that I was more uncomfortable with that the one that I ultimately made in mediation. The only good thing that I can say is that he quickly refunded my entire retainer BUT even that was not without it's problems as Mr. Horrigan moved his offices - something his receptionist failed to mention. So I went to the office I knew, on my lunch hour, only to be redirected to a new location. I do not respect nor do I recommend Mr. Horrigan in any way. He took an absolutely terrible situation and etched it into my brain as one of the most embarrassing, horrific, days of my life.
