Shop around

I first went to Gary for help with my case. I hired him after he said a bunch of honeyed words. I felt like he didn’t try and defend me. I wasn’t notified of a hearing and ended up missing it. When I asked to file under a certain document they didn’t do it. I paid well over $8000 to just throw it awa...y! I walked away with more debt. Go somewhere else save your money

borders on incompetence

Mr. Eschbacher told me how much my divorce would cost me. It was 3 times what he told me. Several times when I met with him or we spoke on the phone, we had to go back over details we previously discussed. I had to anyone. His paralegal, Carol, is brash and has zero empathy. The mediator he chos...e was rude, arrogant, and at times verbally abusive.

This guy is a clown! An expensive clown!

Eschbacher didn't have a clue how to handle my case. I ended up having to hire another lawyer after paying him a fortune!

Disappointed

Increases costs by revisting the same topis several times. In one hour, expect him to get up 3 to 4 times for various reasons. You pay for him to get a cup of coffee a lot. Ensure that you double and triple check their numbers, often times there were errors, which could be very costly - like in my... case.
