Nancy Lee Roberts

I hired Nancy to represent me in divorce and child custody case. Nancy spent an enormous amount of time discussing with opposing counsel and later directly with my x unsignificant events that took place 10 years back. Nancy lost documets I gave her. My fault I didn't make copies. She did not keep any... records of all the background information I gave her on the case, and kept asking me to retell her details of things she should have had records of and I has already told her multipletimes verbally. And via emais. When I'd point it out to her, she'd state that it will take her a very long time to go through her records to find relevant information and it's best I retell her, charging me hefty amounts of money for her time. She did that allot, asking same questions she had already asked. It really felt like she was working against me, not for me. She then would mix up information she sent to another party, confusing and complicating things further. She was absolutely no help in child custody. When my x offered Nancy to meet and discuss settlement, Nancy failed to notify me. I learned that directly from my x. She insisted that trial is imminent and she has to "prepare for every possible scenario." When I wanted a settlement and not to deal with the trial. Once I told her that I am not willing to pay her for "what if" and prefer she addresses issues one step at the time, she suggested I find another attorney. Once she figured out I will not be fooled, and she will not be able to keep charging me, she pretty much refused to do her job, dropping me like a hot potato. I wasted allot of hard earned and borrowed money and time, and got nowhere. She mostly stayed mum in the courtroom as well. So if you are dealing with a difficult spouse and a complicated child custody, Nancy is not the right lawyer for you.

Hi, My name is Lynda. I wanted to respond to a recent review regarding attorney Nancy Roberts, Esq. In "that review" it said: that Ms. Roberts was "hard to reach"...that she "weakly negotiated or argued" for her clients...that she "failed to file important documents"... and a number of other such ...accusations. This "review" appalled and sickened me, because it's so far from the truth, it's ridiculous. This is not at all who Ms. Roberts is, or of what one can expect from Ms. Roberts if they should hire her. I am a paralegal and worked many years as a paralegal for family law attorneys in Santa Clara County. I also personally know many other paralegals who work for family law attorneys in Santa Clara county, so I have also had much feedback regarding not only the attorneys they worked for, but also attorneys they have dealt with. After many years of personally dealing with attorneys (and the feedback from other paralegals regarding their experiences with attorneys they worked for and dealt with) I personally know which attorneys are dependable and which are not; which attorneys are ethical and which are not; which attorneys are truly in the business to help their clients and which attorneys are simply out to make a buck. That is why of all the family law attorneys in Santa Clara County, I chose Ms. Roberts to handle my own divorce case. I knew I could trust her. I knew that no other attorney would give such personal attention to my case (not just because she had a duty to do so, but because she truly cares about her clients). I knew she would be fair with me in regards to her attorney fees; that she would look out for my interests (not just because I hired her to do so, but because that she truly cares about her clients); that she would stand strong for me; that she was a good negotiator; and that she could argue my issues better than any other attorney could or would. I knew that she would always keep me informed regarding all issues in my divorce; that she would never fail to prepare and file any and all documents in my case in a timely manner; and that she would always provide me with copies of each and every document in my case (whether it was a pleading filed with the court or a letter sent on my behalf to the opposing counsel/party). I knew that she would always answer or return my telephone calls, e-mails, and/or texts as soon as possible. Ms. Robert upholds the highest standards with regards to her principals and ethics and morals -- and no one could ever influence her to stray from what she knows is the right thing to do; whether the persuasion comes from the opposing counsel/party, or whether it comes from her own client. Ms. Roberts has gained a reputation among the attorneys, paralegals, and "yes" even the judges in Santa Clara County, as one of the best family law attorneys currently in practice. Anyone who is fortunate enough to retain Ms. Roberts as their attorney can remain assured that they have hired one of the best attorneys available in Santa Clara County.
