Michael Robert Mahony

I hired Mike Mahoney as a divorce attorney in 2016. I spent over $8000.00. The first few trips to see him were to bring more paperwork into him because he could not tell me everything he needed the first couple of times, each time he wanted more. I think I spent most of the retainer on him in the fir...st 4 visits. He can not seem to remember anything I told him, even though he took notes. Each visit he would tell me that he "does not recall me telling him". It almost felt like we got nowhere because I had to keep telling him the same thing over and over again during each visit. Over half of the appointments that I made with him had to be rescheduled by him, most of the time for personal reasons, such as hunting, family, etc. He would forward email's from my ex's attorney to me, which I did appreciate that, however, he didn't read them first half of the time, so when I replied to him he did not know what I was talking about. When I wanted him to send a reply to that attorney I would have to tell him a few times before he did it. His office staff seemed to have never been able to get anything to me but the invoices for him. Many times I was told that they mailed me a discovery or some items, yet I never received it. I asked them to start emailing me but it took a few times of me asking before I received it. Very unprofessional. I feel that Mike is just too busy to be an attorney. He can not focus on one thing and does not retain information when given to him. During a arbitration he asked me at the end of his questioning if there was anything else that he thought I should ask. I could not believe an attorney that has been in this profession as long as he has been would actually have to ask his client if there is anything else he should ask. The arbitration was appealed by my ex and I found another attorney who did a much better and was much more professional job. He seemed to have cared about my case, unlike Mike.
