Save your time, money, and emotional energy and look elsewhere…read more I scheduled and paid for a consultation with Susan hoping for guidance during a difficult co-parenting situation. Instead, I experienced one of the most uncomfortable professional consultations I have ever had. She entered the room without greeting or acknowledging me and immediately came across as cold and dismissive. I had prepared notes and questions, but she repeatedly interrupted and focused on a single comment instead of listening to the full context of why I was there. The overall tone felt condescending and completely lacking in empathy. Within about 15 minutes I felt so unheard and uncomfortable that I ended the consultation early. Family law matters are already stressful and vulnerable. Clients deserve patience, professionalism, and basic respect. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

A couple of years later, I was contacted by a lawyer because the friend wanted to sell the property. I reached out to Lawvex for help. After paying about $800, I was told the will wasn't clear and that I basically had no rights to the property unless I wanted to challenge it. That would mean involving my siblings and going through another legal process that would cost thousands of dollars. In other words, if I didn't have that kind of money, they couldn't help me. Thank God I listened to His voice and continued to show up to court on my own, even without representation. The judge immediately recognized that I did in fact have rights to the property, and in the end I inherited a portion of the sale. No thanks to Lawvex--thanks to the judge (and God).

Spent $2,000 for paper work on a divorce. I had little to no communication from them. When I contacted them they would charge me, when they contacted each other they would charge me. The paper work I got was unusuable (draft form). In order to move forward it would have cost me more money. Realized I should go elsewhere.

Unfortunately, my family's experience with Val Dornay was unpleasant. For being a lawyer for as…read morelong as he has been and saying he is credited by the BBB, he acted unethically and very naively. A much younger woman of no relation by blood or law who lived with my grandfather because he took pity on her when she lost her family house next door and her husband went to jail, took my grandfather AFTER being diagnosed with Alzheimer's and dementia to Dornay to change his trust to her name. I would think a lawyer with so much experience would have questioned this scenario. Mr. Dornay's claim is that my grandfather seemed "fine" to him when they came in. He did little to set it right. And worried more for the sake of the woman who hired him, then the code of ethics and morals and unfortunately my grandfather was a victim.

My family's interactions with this attorney during matters related to my 92-year-old grandmother's…read moresurvivor trust were a very difficult experience for us. My grandmother had created a trust that allowed her to manage and use her assets during her lifetime in accordance with her own wishes. After she passed away, discussions arose during the administration process suggesting that some of her financial decisions may have been improper or unnecessary. From our family's perspective, we were not presented with documentation or clear supporting information that explained or substantiated those concerns. Hearing those types of statements about my grandmother after her passing was deeply upsetting to our family. She lived a long and honorable life, and because she is no longer here to explain the reasoning behind her financial decisions, it was painful to hear her judgment questioned in that context. The administration process also became longer and more complicated than our family had expected. As time went on, the prolonged nature of the matter created additional stress and increased expenses for our family during what was already an emotionally difficult period following the loss of our grandmother. Estate administration is often sensitive and emotionally charged for families. In my opinion, situations involving elderly individuals and their financial decisions should be handled with particular care and professionalism, especially when the individual is no longer able to speak for themselves. Clear documentation and respectful communication can make a significant difference for families navigating the loss of a loved one. I understand that attorneys must advocate for their clients and represent their client's interests. However, from our family's perspective, the overall experience made an already difficult time more challenging than it needed to be. This review reflects my family's personal experience during the administration of my grandmother's trust and the impact the process had on us.
