Terribly incompetent attorney

Ms. Yurman along with her partner Dorinna Hirsch of Hirsch & Yurman are two of the most incompetent attorneys in my 20 years of working in the legal system that I have ever met. Ms. Yurman promised to handle my case after her partner, ms. Hirsch took a retainer in my family law case and then proceede...d to do zero on my case. Hirsch & Yurman made only one court appearance and that was on the date that I hired them. They failed to appear at a scheduled appointment that the set & did not call. Even worse, they failed to appear at a scheduled court date & kept myself, Judge Amador & opposing counsel waiting for 3 hours. She did not show nor did she call the courts. She refuses to return my retainer despite the fact that no paperwork was ever prepared or filed & the non-appearance in court. When I fired Ms. Yurman, she could not even prepare the proper paperwork for the substitution of attorney. Just completely incompetent. My empty family court file says it all. She also refuses to hand over case file. Avoid this attorney at all costs.

It is exceptionally unfortunate when a client is disappointed with services rendered. Our firm is tirelessly dedicated to client satisfaction and resolution of all disputes. As in any other public forum, in accordance with legal confidentiality protections, our firm's ability to respond to these alleged claims is strictly limited. Nevertheless, our dedication to client communication, accuracy of legal work, and high standard of performance remains our steadfast foundation as a legal entity.
