Paige M Etcheverry-Barnes

I needed a lawyer quickly and she stepped up, noted I was getting screwed on a TRO and offered to help at a fixed cost. Sounded great. Three years of delays and non-existent communication later the only thing I accomplished was getting three years older. An "questionable" restraining order filed i...n 2019 has yet to see a courtroom (that's temporary?). During a recent attempt to schedule I watched in horror as lawyers dickered over a date as a hearing the judge wanted to schedule in December got pushed into April 2023. My kids, who were taken from me under false pretenses and against their will at age 10 and who have asked to be returned to me, will be 14 before that date. She didn't care. When I raised a fuss she fabricated an excuse to drop me. I'll never get back the years. Maybe a little more attention to the case and a little less time at her vacation home in Italy would have made a difference. Communication was non-existent. Occasionally I was forwarded communication from my Ex's attorney but my own inquiries were largely ignored. When I finally reached a breaking point and asked for a meeting, that's when I was dropped. Even that was classless. A face-to-face meeting with a paralegal was cancelled, rescheduled for a later date with Ms. Etcheverry-Barnes, and then again cancelled in favor of a phone call in which she quit. After three years there was no more money in it. What's right or fair took a back seat.

I hired Paige in 2016. She made a ton of promises, and made me feel better. After I hired her and paid her retainer, she waited months to file anything with the court. Fast forward to 2019 when I finally fired her. In those 3 years nothing got accomplished, our case was constantly continued for a myr...iad of reasons. Her office staff, and especially her paralegal Kelly, are just as worthless as she is. No one returns calls, no one returns emails, and you're left hanging. Her office was excellent though at calling and demanding more money, saying they need it in the next 7 days, or they'll file a substitution of attorney form with the court (her office firing you as a client), and also threatening to not show up in court. I spent well over $20k on her services, and got absolutely nothing in return. If you're thinking Paige will really help you, and get some resolution in your case, think again. She makes great big promises that she knows she has zero intention of keeping.

*****BE AWARE**** IF YOU WANT A LAWYER TO RUN IN CIRCLES & PRETEND TO GO TO COURT IN YOUR DEFENSE. SPEND YOUR MONEY & PROMISE YOU THE WORLD. ONLY TO CONSTANTLY CONTINUE YOUR CASE OVER & OVER AS IF YOUR LIFE IS THIS GAME THAT SHE PLAYS AT YOUR EXPENSE!!!! TO ADD TO INSULT SHE KNOWS SHE IS GOING TO... TO CONTINUE & CONTINUE YOUR CASE IN COURT, ONLY TO SAY SHE NEEDS MORE MONEY BECAUSE OF ALL THE CONTINUATIONS SHE HAS REQUESTED IN COURT TO PROLONG UNNECESSARY MATTERS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED SWIFTLY. GREED IS HER NAME, BE AWARE & PLAY HER GAME IF YOU WANT TO LOOSE A LOT OF TIME & MONEY$$$
