Posted by anonymous | October 30, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Adoption

Adoption delayed

We hired Nicole Howard to finalize the adoption of our 3 kids from foster care. We paid her a $400 retainer up front. After the second month she stopped receiving our phone calls, emails, and letters. We had to hire another attorney. This slowed down our adoption by at least 6 months for kids tha...t have been in the foster care system for 27 months.

Horrendous

This woman was chosen by my wife for us to get a divorce. Very simple divorce, no major arguments about property etc. Took some time, but we settled all matters and sat down with Nicole to write up the agreement. Done. Signed. 'I'll file it tomorrow at the courthouse' she says. That's been months... ago. She refuses to answer the phone and will not return phone calls. The prothonotary's office has not received any of the paper work yet. Do. Not. Hire. This. Woman.
