Hallie Saroba Ambriz

I contacted Hallie Ambriz via e-mail relating to setting up a consultation concerning a family law matter. Within minutes of receiving my e-mail, Ms. Ambriz responded, also via e-mail. Ms. Ambriz and I corresponded back and forth via e-mail regarding the case. Not only did I share with Ms. Ambriz... certain facts of the case, she went so far as to advise me her hourly rate is $150 per hour and said she would require a retainer of $750. I agreed to these terms. Through our continued electronic conversation and the facts of the case I had relayed to Ms. Ambriz, she indicated via e-mail that the Respondent in my family law case had also contacted her by leaving a message on her voicemail. Ms. Ambriz said she had contacted me first and that it was my "lucky day." We set up a consultation to continue discussing the facts of the case. The day before our in person meeting, I had to cancel the meeting because I had been called to jury duty. I asked to reschedule the meeting for the following week. Ms. Ambriz acknowledged the cancellation but never confirmed the rescheduling. I waited more than a week to receive confirmation from Ms. Ambriz relating to confirmation of the rescheduling. Ms. Ambriz never responded to my request to reschedule after my jury duty. Then, a little more than a week later, much to my surprise, I learned that Ms. Ambriz is now representing the Respondent in my family law matter. Ms. Ambriz will no doubt use the things I told her about the case to the Respondent's advantage. I absolutely would not recommend this attorney.
