Paul Seabrook

UPDATE! A client representative from Seabrook Law Firm called and asked if refunding $4,000 would resolve my concerns. I made it clear I am requesting a full refund of $12,300, including the original retainer, due to the firm’s serious mishandling of my case. Even their own leadership acknowledged... that my attorney failed to perform due diligence. At 2:20 PM, I was told they would speak with Paul Seabrook and follow up. Instead, at 4:40 PM, I received an additional invoice for $314—with no explanation—charging me for a pleading that was rejected by the Alameda County Courthouse. This shows a complete lack of accountability. While some clients may have had smooth experiences, this firm is clearly unfit to handle complex, high-conflict family law matters, especially those involving abuse or narcissistic partners. They took my money, ignored clear red flags, and left me unprotected—forcing me to find new counsel and start over. I personally met with Paul Seabrook, shared the years of abuse my children and I endured, and was promised help. That promise was empty. This firm took my money and failed me at every step. If you are facing an abusive or high-conflict divorce, do not hire this firm. They are not trauma-informed, they are not thorough, and they will leave you financially and emotionally drained. I am filing formal complaints with: 1. The California State Bar Association 2. The Alameda County Bar Association 3. Avvo 4. The Better Business Bureau This level of negligence and disregard for vulnerable clients is absolutely unacceptable.
