Kevin is very personable which is a plus, however, be forewarned, he is not prepared. He was handling my divorce. He missed the discovery period despite my repeated reminders. The only motions he filed were motions that I wrote myself for him, such as for discovery, child support, and sale of the ...family home. I have full custody of our only child. Kevin ignored my requests to file for child support for over a year. I have the emails to prove it. He repeatedly agreed to adjournment after adjournment despite my vehement objections and after the Judge's clerk called to inform us that the opposition did not submit a rebuttal. Kevin took it upon himself to request and ajdournment on behalf of the opposition because he was a long standing family friend. So much to loyalty to one's client. Every adjournment cost me over $3500.00 in additional mortgage and back taxes. On one adjournment, he stated that he objected to it but the letter he sent said he agreed. He said it was a clerical error. I believed he lied. He never provided me a written bill. I requested that he send out letters of representation to the banks holding the mortgages. He failed to do so. I have additional emails proving this. He never kept me informed in writing of motions/court appearances. When I terminated his services on a Friday, he told me the following Tuesday that there was a motion scheduled in three days (Friday). He did attempt to adjourn that motion hearing by verbally calling the judge's office. Unfortunately he did not get the opposing attorneys permission. He did not inform them what so ever. To summarize:
1. He failed to keep me informed.
2. He failed to file for discovery during the discovery period waiting over 1.5 years to finally file for discovery at my insistence and writing of my own motion for same.
3. He failed to file for child support on my behalf for over a year until I forced the matter and writing my own motion for child support.
4. He never provided detail billing of any of his services.
5. He was unprofessional by requesting adjournments without notifying or seeking permission of the opposition.
6. He failed to send out requested letters of representation.
7. He told me that he did not agree to certain adjournments yet his correspondence says that he did.
8. During settlement conferences he was not prepared and did not have all his documentaiton in order freqeuntly forgetting or misplacing key documents that I provided him electronically and hard copy.
9. I freqeuntly had to maintain "to do" lists as the case was not progressing.
There is more, but I think I have said enough. Caveat
