And then, before all the final papers were signed, they sent us an email copy to proofread. The preparation of these documents requires a lot of care and expertise,; Stacey and her staff obviously have the necessary skills and working with them has been a real pleasure. Both of us feel comfortable with the legal services we received and don't hesitate this to recommend Stacey Rhody to our friends and associates.

It was such a relief knowing someone so experienced was in our corner. Steve not only helped us resolve the issue, but also made sure we understood our rights and how to avoid similar issues in the future. If you're facing a situation where you need a trustworthy lawyer, I highly recommend his firm. Legal issues can be overwhelming, but they made the process smooth and much less stressful.

After three months of negligible progress and virtually no communication--despite being told my…read morecase would take about six weeks--I dismissed Steve Brody and retained a new firm. I initially hired the firm in early June after a positive consultation with Tim, who assured me my amicable divorce would be quick and straightforward. My ex and I had already agreed on a parenting plan and asset division; I only needed legal review. In three months, Steve spoke with me once (June 28), during which he suggested filing a counter-petition, but I told him this was not needed since we already had a plan in place. I submitted my financial affidavit, and my ex promptly provided hers and our parenting plan, yet Steve never followed up to review these key documents. In late August, I learned from my ex that her attorney had not received my affidavit and that a court hearing was scheduled in three days. Steve failed to notify me of the hearing or provide any updates despite repeated emails. At the hearing, he reportedly told the judge he needed more time to respond and to file a counter-petition, directly contradicting my instructions. I repeatedly emailed Steve and his assistant Anna without replies (see timeline below) and ultimately requested that Tim take over my case. Though Tim acknowledged my concerns, no follow-up from Steve occurred, and on September 4 I ended Steve's representation. Below is a record of calls/emails to Steve's office that went unanswered: 7/1: email to Steve with a question about my financial affidavit. No reply 7/23: email to Anna asking for the status of my financial affidavit. No reply. 8/14: email to Anna asking what happens next, since my financials were submitted. No reply 8/22: follow-up to Anna asking if she saw my previous emails. No reply 8/25: email to Steve asking about the status of my case. No reply 8/26: email to Steve sharing my concern about the lack of communication, what would happen in court in 3 days, and for an update as to what happens next in my case. No reply 8/27: emailed Steve 4 specific questions about my case, and told him I'd like a reply by the end of the day. He responded that he would call me that evening. No call was received. 8/28: email to Steve indicating that I never received a call from him. I still want the info requested. No reply 9/4: notified Steve that he will no longer be representing me Steve's lack of communication and inaction were unprofessional and unacceptable. By contrast, my new attorney accomplished more for me in two weeks than Steve did in three months. If you need to verify Steve's level of professionalism, simply go look at their FB page.

There was about a month where I was struggling to complete a few online questionnaires they had, due to being a single parent and working full-time, And also because the questions were vague, and I would've preferred to fill them out in person since I didn't understand the terminology. Once that was done, I received the electronic paperwork to start signing a contract for Tiffany Newman to be my attorney. I had some questions before signing a contract with an attorney (rightfully), and since that email the entire attorneys office has not responded to one email. At one point, I attached their reception, their personal assistant, and both attorneys email addresses to the final email, and still no one reached out to me. They wasted my time. It felt unprofessional for them to not respond, even if they chose not to represent me for some reason after all of that. The last email I received from them was April 22, and still as of August 20th I have never heard from them. I do not recommend that you use this Law firm/office. Now I have to start all over with a new attorney.

David knows what he is doing and knows the system very well , he has been doing this for a very long time and is able to help , no regrets at all , thank you David for assisting me during my time of troubles and helping. I also had the experience of with James Andrle while going through a divorce and i must say hands down this is the guy you want contending by your side , he is EXTREMELY KNONLEDGEABLE and will admit that there were moments that i was not able to reach him but that was only because of how busy he is which obviously means he has alot of clients but not once did i feel my case was being neglected , he was able to provide me with a sense of peace and not to worry , lets just say i only had to show up to court to finalize the divorce while he handled it all for me and was extremely reasonable as well , he was able to assure me that things will go well and they did and told me not to worry and i didn't because he was a huge help with what i was battling , i am forever grateful to have met him and have him by my side , again both of these gentlemen are extremely knowledgeable , just take a moment and stop by they're office and see the countless plaques on their walls for excellent service and won cases , it speaks for itself , and after reading some of these reviews , i will say that yes they are very busy but they know what they are doing and handle it well , thank you both for your help and service .

I never received a copy of the hold harmless agreement and only after two emails and a phone call was I allowed to see the document which had been voided out ostensibly for incorrect verbiage but in actuality because it was a highly unethical money grubbing strategy to extract as much money as possible from me. This firm will only look out for their own best interest and not the clients. Buyer beware indeed!
