Look some where else!
I hired Kathleen to handle my divorce which included child custody. She gave me very bad information during the time I was separated which ultimately cost me my right to move. She is very unprofessional, (completely forgot about a scheduled meeting), and not "all there". Her assistant apparently w...
It is very difficult to respond to a review posted by someone who does not give their name. Without more information, I don't know who this is. To put things in perspective: I have NEVER had an assistant quit. I fired one assistant in 2011. I was caught up in a very messy case since July 2017, and had to reduce my caseload to that ONE client. Therefore, whoever wrote this review -- if it is accurate -- was a client sometime prior to July 2017. Because of that ONE time-consuming case, I have not sent bills out in far-too-long. The only thing attorneys have to sell is their expertise and their time. If I do "lawyer work," I bill at lawyer rate quoted in my fee agreement, which was signed by the client.. If I have a paralegal, my paralegal bills for his/her time at the paralegal rate quoted in the fee agreement. If I do "paralegal work," I bill at the same paralegal rate. I have only had two clients who asked me to forward documents to their new attorneys. In both instances, I hand-delivered the files to the new attorney. If there is money left in the client's trust account, I included a check drawn on my Trust Account for the balance and forward that to the new attorney, too. One of those attorneys told my former client that he never received my check. I forwarded a copy of the cancelled check to my former client. He then fired that attorney for lying. Based on the allegations made in the review, I suspect this review was written an opposing party who did not fare well against me in court.
