Cost me over $25k having to go back to court because of her mistake

She helped me with my divorce (started March and was final in May of 2024). A standard and easy default divorce with me keeping custody of my daughter. She was unresponsive, rude and short with me. She told me that someone in her office had passed away, and she was taking on their work and was busy.... I dismissed her attitude and the delay in all communication because I understood that was probably an emotional and stressful time for her... but it was for me too as I was trying to get me and my daughter out of an abusive marriage, and I wished she understood that. The divorce was final as a default divorce. Well, it turned out that Tara never filed the parenting plan with the courts after it was final, so only five months after the divorce, my ex remarried and his new woman decided that even though he wanted nothing to do with our daughter and hadn't taken care of her a single day of her life, that she wanted our daughter. Well, since there was no parenting plan with the courts because of Tara's lack of attention to my case, he did what his new wife wanted and took me back to court to demand custody. I have now been back and forth in family court for 7 months, only just now having my final hearing and racked up over $25k in legal debt with a new lawyer because Tara failed to file the parenting plan the first time.

Great Support & Service on a difficult matter

Tara represented me in the final stages of a long, difficult and highly contested family court matter. Tara was very thorough, supportive, intelligent, professional, and responsive. And her staff was a pleasure to work with as well. I got the result I sought. A logical, reasonable, and final conc...lusion to a dark period in my personal history. Tara and her team were essential to achieving this outcome and I highly recommend her services.

Would highly recommend

Tara was extremely helpful while handling our case. She kept us informed throughout the process and we couldn't be happier with the service she has provided. We would highly recommend Tara to anyone seeking an attorney dealing in family law or bankruptcy.
