Not A Qualified or Experienced Attorney

She failed to follow through on any of the actions she was too perform in my relocation / custody case. According to her after CPS stated that the claims against me had been false and a malicious attempt by sons fathers family , plus a failed drug test by father , the execution of a expired emergen...cy order which the father and his father and girlfriend came to my house and forcibly took my year old son from me and never contact the sheriff's office which on the orders stated was to execute the emergency order which was only gained again through false statements on my fleeing the state , when he knew I was not . because of this and my hiring this attorney I was unable to see my son who had never spent but a night at his grandmas his entire year old precious life away from me for almost a month , when I hired her she was suppose to get an emergency hearing and have my son returned to me I filed a police report and signed documents from her to have all this done , I got my son back only because 2 weeks later the mediator in our case was appalled and gave my son back to me especially after reading the case decision on malicious attempt and accusations they had done to me , so a drug test was ordered he failed but she never put in orders to have visitation withheld, so she then tells me to without visitation due to failed drug test basically putting me in contempt , which almost had me arrested and jailed . Then never filing any papers for retesting to have 2 failed test for trial. Bottom line we had a mediation / court appearance on March 27 , 2015 which she told me was 2pm. On the 27th I get a call stating I was 4 hours late for this appearance before the judge which was actually at 8am .When I arrive 40 minutes later I nearly lost custody of my son for FTA. I also discover she has never responded or filed a single document in my case / or my behalf at all. in the course of 3 months yet had me meet her several times at court to sign supposedly documents to file . Then my sons fathers lawyers states to judge she had tried for 3 weeks to get a date to settle this with my attorney with no luck and only a message after hours on her machine from my attorney that she would look at her datebook and get back to her as of the court date on 27th it had been 6 weeks and still nothing . She failed to do anything except make a lot of unfilled promises and the fact that the mediator told me that this is not the first time this has happen that the judge himself reprimanded her in court on her poor display and lack of qualified experience in this matter . Luckily I did not lose my son but was forced to stay in CA for now . But I agreed to pay 1,000 to Kathy for my case , my mother paid her 850.00 for nothing and she has the nerve to call me and demand my mother or I pay the rest . I am helping to get my mother a case against her to hopefully get back money she did not earn a penny for (KATHY) and the nerve to demand the rest was just so unbelievable which was the reason I hope to get justice in this matter in my legal fees returned to me / my mother . DO NOT HIRE HER PLEASE TRUST ME! I ALSO AM NOT LYING OR TRYING TO BE SPITEFUL EVERYTHING IS TRUE I am hoping to have no one else put in the position I was in,... which just about cost me custody of my son

Trosclair Law Center is devoted to providing personalized, aggressive, affordable legal representation. I strive to go above and beyond for my clients, which I am confident that I did for you. Without breaching any attorney-client privilege, I must refute the majority of your statements. There was no definitive statement by CPS that the claims against you were false or malicious; indeed, you signed a safety plan with CPS. The failed drug test was not enough of a reason to file a Request for Order for Emergency Custody. As I explained numerous times, there must be more evidence to give the Court that he is unfit to care for his own child. You repeatedly said he was a wonderful father and would never hurt his child. Therefore, we had no basis on which to file for emergency custody. Until a Court issues an Order for custody, both parents have an equal right to their child. As such, he had he right to deny you visitation, just as you could have done with him. The papers that I prepared and you signed were the Request for Order for Move Away and accompanying Declaration. Those were filed with the Court and served on opposing counsel. I heartily dispute that the Mediator or Judge made the statements that you attribute to them. We only met with the mediator once. At that time, you and the father entered into a custody and visitation agreement. The Judge was a female, not a male. The opposing attorney did not state to the Court that I had failed to get back to her on rescheduling anything. Not once did I ever, nor would I ever, advise you to violate a court order. In fact, I advised you of the Order and stated the possible consequences for failing to abide by the Order. I went out of my way to help you. Our agreement was for a specified number of hours of my time. You called, emailed, and texted on an almost daily basis - using all of your contracted time within the first few weeks. By the time we went to the first court date, you had used almost all of the time that was called for in our retainer agreement, yet I continued as your attorney. Finally, at the last court appearance in late February, you and the father entered into an agreement and all future court dates were vacated. I spent well over 20 hours on your case and provided you with a discount of over 60% in legal fees and costs. This discount was given in an attempt to make this process go as smoothly as possible for you due to your lack of income and no visible means of financial support. I am sorry that you believe that I did not provide satisfactory service, but I strongly believe that I exceeded the bounds of what another attorney would have provided, and certainly for a much lower rate. I wish you the best of luck.

Coast to coast divorce

Being in the military and stationed on the East Coast, while going thru a divorce on the West Coast was no easy task. I experienced difficulty finding an attorney, and had a short timeline to respond to documents from my ex's attorney due to out of state training requirements. Just when i thought i ...was going to run out of time i found Ms. Trosclair. Kathy Lynn immediately took my case and helped me step by step through the process. She kept me informed and traveled many hours out of her way to all required appointments while i could only appear via telephone. I really felt like Ms. Trosclair was in my corner and was solely focused on the well being of myself and my children. I highly recommend Ms. Kathy Lynn Trosclair and will definitely be requesting her services and expertise in the future.
