Christy Kay LaGrandeur

My wife and I hired Christy to draft a prenuptial agreement for us earlier in 2016. When Christy sent over a draft of the document, it appeared to be a mish-mash of several different documents copied and pasted together. I had my business lawyer review it, and my wife also had her lawyer look over ...the document. Both lawyers came back to us and suggested we re-draft the document from scratch - they both advised us not to use the document drafted by Christy, as it was poorly written, not professional, and not likely to protect our assets going into our marriage. My wife's lawyer said she could re-write it for $1k and my business lawyer ended up re-writing it for about $750, which is what we paid Christy to do it for. After having the document re-written, we circled back with Christy to simply get a signature from her to represent my wife, and she refused saying it was a conflict of interest - yet she waited until THE DAY BEFORE OUR WEDDING to respond to us giving us no time to seek out other counsel. The lack of communication, poor consultation, and the fact that she had no desire to rectify anything or help out in the end was a disgrace to her firm. We would not recommend this firm or Christy to anyone. We requested a refund on her poorly drafted document, which was not even usable, and she said that her firm put double the amount of time and money into it. Our recommendation is to keep looking for legal representation, as Christy has no desire to promote customer service, no integrity, slow response time, and overall left us with a terrible experience. She charged us $750 and we got absolutely nothing from her services; when we asked for a refund, she basically spit in our faces.

I Hired Goldburg Jones after hearing their adds about Fathers rights. Chisty was assigned to my case and we got along very well. After a while, I struggled to get any sort of response from her. It got to the point I had to contact the managing attorney in order to get her to respond. After that, she ...was better. She was always very professional in her dealings, very articulate and professional in the court room, but I would have liked her to be more aggressive as the opposing attorney was something else! I lost almost everything. I finally got caught up with my attorney bill as they are not allowed to work for you at the firm unless you have a retainer there, so I caught up on the retainer as well. I was just trying to file contempt charges on my ex for not allowing me to see my children against the parenting plan. She started the process and then vanished again. This time for 6 months no response. I left numerous messages at her office, her cell phone, email, text and even asked the staff if she was still employed there. Not one time did I get a response, not to this day have I heard from her. I had to request to get what was left of my retainer back from the staff. Not even a not of apology with the returned check. After all that effort, I had not seen my children in over 2 years. So my take is simply this. The adds about Fathers rights are just a ploy to get you in the door. A lost leader of sorts. Once you are out of money, or you are an obvious "small potatoes" case, you have no value to them. Now after all the time of not seeing my children, they are so brainwashed they want nothing to do with me and I am beyond sick and massively depressed. My kids were everything to me and putting my trust in Christy and Goldburg Jones has crushed my very being. Now my new attorney says it is not likely I can do much about it because too much time has passed and my ex has gotten away with destroying their future buy taking away the only stable person in they life. Trully tragic.
