They filed a single 137 sanction pleading in my divorce case, and billed me over $12,000. The pleading had many embarrassing errors (such as misspelling attorneys names, getting dates wrong and omitting key facts). Their pleading needed to be withdrawn and refiled. Her firm even charged me for a r...ental car to go to court, and continued to bill me for work after I notified them that I terminated their services. Without my knowledge, consent, or even discussing it with me she hired a private investigator to investigate my ex-wife and billed me over $3,000 for this alone. Nothing helpful was found from the investigation, and when questioned about it the "billing specialist" suggested that I read the fine print from the engagement contract, which didn't say anything about giving them rights to engage private investigators without informing me. They charge you for the initial consultation, which was different from any of the other attorneys that I have dealt with. Unfortunately I have dealt with several lawyers and law firms during my prolonged divorce, and dealing with this attorney and firm is by far the worst and most stressful experience. They were very slow to follow-up and respond, and the charges were excessive for the low quality work that they did.
