Ms. Jeske was the mediator for my divorce and she clearly took sides with one party over another…read moreand leaked private information during the mediation. Ms. Jeske told me I could have income imputed on me when in WA state a stay-at-home mom cannot have income imputed immediately after separation. Ms. Jeske tried to get me to pay the other party's 2020 income taxes when income earned after separation is separate. Ms. Jeske told me I should have known better and filed a temporary financial order so my husband would not steal assets. The dissolution petition includes an automatic temporary order freezing assets and Ms. Jeske pretended not to know this. Ms. Jeske clearly favored my husband the narcissist, and tried to take advantage of me not having a lawyer to broker a bad deal. A mediator is supposed to honor legal precedent guiding the parties toward what they can expect from a court ruling. Ms. Jeske's followed her own biased precedent-- I did not comply. Ms. Jeske then offered her arbitration services at a flat fee of $15,000 after already having all the disclosures! Arbitration is usually billed hourly. FYI- Avvo doesn't post bad ratings, so Avvo ratings are FAKE. Note there is no advertising on Avvo. The attorneys pay for their stars.

In September 2022, I hired Steven J Fields to represent me in a difficult divorce. His hourly rate…read morewas $600 per hour, and the consultation fee is $600 per hour. I placed my trust in him and his paralegal. I began to wonder if I should in November 2022. In our first hearing - he did not file for child support properly; The Commissioner pointed it out. Steve told me later that he had always done it that way. Implying the commissioner was wrong. So, I asked when he would file again. Keep in mind. He knew my wife had left the family, I was working and raising 3 kids by myself. She was providing zero help. His response? 'you can't just file a motion for child support, it takes time and money.' Then later he told me that the reason he didn't file the initial motion correctly is that I was in a hurry, and he was trying to help me. So, our motion hearing March 2, 2023. Opposing counsel pointed out that Steve had not filed my financial declaration. Steve insisted that he had, that he had a receipt. But lo and behold, they were filled March 8th - 6 days after the hearing!!!! The hearing on March 22, 2023, did lead to an order for child support by my wife. There were several mistakes. He did not like being called out on them. In fact, when I asked why he had a hearing with my wife's lawyer to reschedule the trial he told me I was a difficult client. That his paralegal had asked him several times to fire me because I caused too much stress. When I was given my files - other client's information was mixed throughout. I am letting them know. When I asked for copies of emails Mr. Fields sent opposing counsel as I am now Pro Se (after Steve knew I was out of money he withdrew as my lawyer.) he told me he owns them - and would not provide them to me. I was billed over $30,000 by Mr. Fields and we had not gotten to mediation! I had asked him how much he felt I would need to have available to get through trial. I asked his paralegal several times for him to call me. I never received a response. Oh - my wife was directed to provide release of records. Steve and his paralegal decided to draft them. One big mistake - they had an incorrect birthdate, so I was charged several hundred dollars for records that came back with nothing. He told me that the birthdate issue was my wife's lawyers. No Steve - you included the originals with the wrong birthdate sent by your paralegal. I have them with your paralegals handwriting! There is so much more, and I am preparing a filing with the Washington State Bar Association. He knows. He didn't seem to care. Someone wrote that anyone looking should look elsewhere. I wish now that I had. Steve and his paralegal did a terrible job representing me and my children and he gave me the records to prove it. Steve did not prepare me for what to expect - wife filed for reconsideration and Steve was indignant when I asked him to explain if she could do that. Same when she filed a counter motion against my motion for child support. I never felt that he communicated with me as to what to expect.

Steve is the best, most knowledgeable attorney with whom I have ever worked and it's not even a close comparison.

I appreciated his efficient and effective work after he carefully listened to me and then reviewed the thousands of pages/documents in my case. He, and his paralegal Tasha, quite literally "saved the day". I could not have picked a better attorney and I was so thankful to have them represent me. I am in their debt forever.
