Posted by anonymous | January 21, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Incompetent!

Mr. Lights handled my divorce several years ago and it was pretty quick with no real issues...at least I thought. I hired him again to handle a custody matter I was having with my children's father. He asked for the payment upfront and eventually became unresponsive to me and the opposing lawyer, whi...ch has caused me a lot of stress. After receiving no responses from him to any of my emails or calls, I hired another attorney. My new attorney is excellent and pointed out all of the mistakes he made in my first divorce settlement agreement which does not position me well with my current case relating to custody. I am now aware that for my divorce several years ago, that he counseled me in a way that would make the case end quicker, but not in a way that was in my best interest. The first time I did not catch his incompetence because I was young and trusting, but now that I am more informed, it is very clear to me how grossly incompetent he is. Do not take a chance with this guy if your case is important to you.
