Posted by Adam | November 20, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

It couldn't have gone any better!

Bob was the third lawyer I had paid well over several thousand dollars to and thank God I did! From his reaction to hearing my story the first time we met (outraged at the other party for keeping my daughter from me for over four months) all the way through our long phone conversation weeks after cou...rt had been settled... Bob was a honey badger working in my corner. I had a lot that could have created some bumps in the road in regards to my case, and Bob was upfront and honest with me at all times. If I made a suggestion which he didn't agree with or he didn't feel we would have a good chance of winning the argument. . . He told me not to waste my money. Some people may take offence to being told No by someone they are paying. . . but Bob knows his stuff and I'd put away or take out my wallet without hesitation whenever he asked it of me. I am still currently working with Bob as my daughters mom is never short of 'horrible ways to undermine' . . . and I would, in the highest regard, recommend you hire Bob Och to represent you in court. Don't waste thousands on the wrong lawyer when the right lawyer is right here.

Was a waste of $$$

I hired him to deal with DSH arrears my X wrongly and dishonestly filed against me. It turned out he did not know anything about the child support adminstrative law. He represented me in the hearing (which sucked up all my savings), which turned out to be a court that could not rule on my situation, ...as only a Superior court judge act on. He even double billed me, which I had to call him on. So as it turned out I had needed to plead my case in superior court, not in a administrative court, which you think your lawyer would know. Mr. Och billed up on all the hours (of which I asked for a detailed billing statement that I never received) on the not needed administrative court dealings and thus wanted more money. I then went to Superior court on my own with no attorney. I was able to research and find out answers that Mr. Och was too incompetent and unknowlegable to properly represent me. He is to what "lawyer" jokes derive, as he is a true lawyer in that fact. To sum it up he not help my me at all and was a complete waste of money! Do not hire him!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Och has been my opposing counsel on several cases. He knows his stuff and keeps me on my toes! Despite the adversarial nature of our business, he and his staff (Candace) are always a pleasure to work with. Clients benefit when the lawyers work well together, not only because the results are fair, but the legal fees are lower, too. Don't get me wrong -- he's not a pushover! Mr. Och knows his stuff. He should. He's been practicing law since God was a boy. I consider him a wise and worthy opponent who works diligently on his client's behalf."
