Very Disappointed

Mrs. Gilbreth was assigned to my divorce case by Edward Blake in Belleville, IL. Throughout the entire proceeding, Mrs. Gilbreth was very slow at answering emails, if she answered at all, but charged $25 for every email I sent whether answered or not. Mrs. Gilbreth provided absolutely no direction ...or strategy suggestions for my case. Literally none. This being my first experience with the legal system I didn't know what I should have expected and was too scared to start over with a new firm so I continued to trust in her and the Blake Law Group hoping I would be more vigorously represented once we got into the court room. That was certainly not the case. The only two objections Mrs. Gilbreth made on my behalf were after I desperately insisted she speak up during the hearing. The firm refused my offer to pay them $1500 per month toward the then $8000 in fees and then filed for withdrawal for non payment of those fees. My total fees ended up exceeding $30,000 for a divorce that involved no custody argument and involved a total of $27,000 worth of asset division. While I'm sure they are more than capable of providing legal services and probably will contest these statements, this was my experience with Megan Gilbreth and the Blake Law Group. In fear of some sort of retaliation I was reluctant to post this review but I will post this review anonymously in hopes of helping others with their choices.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
