Initially I met with Attorney Fairweather about an employment case. He was amazing from the get-go;…read moreasking every detail of my case and explaining all of my options moving forward. Some of the options he presented were better than others, but at least he was honest and up front about the pros and cons to each option. Unfortunately Attorney Fairweather passed away a few months later. I requested to meet with a new attorney at Hawks Quindel. The firm made me pay an additional consultation fee to meet with the second attorney, which I thought was odd. After less than an hour in the office, the second attorney told me that I didn't have a case. Not only was I out one, but two consultation fees, and left exactly where I started. Today, I read an article where an attorney at Hawks Quindel is representing a volunteer who is suing a non-profit organization (a volunteer rescue squad) because he felt that he should be paid for his volunteer service. While I wholeheartedly agree that Paramedics deserve good pay, that volunteer KNEW what he was signing up for when he applied to be a volunteer. After looking into said volunteer, I see that he has felony convictions for Medicare fraud, in which he was ordered to pay over a MILLION dollars in unearned fraudulent claims. So he turns to suing a volunteer run ambulance service to pay back his debts? I don't think so. Hawks Quindel should be ashamed of themselves for representing a professional con artist. Needless to say, I would NOT recommend this firm.

During that time, I had to repeatedly call and email, and eventually had to escalate the matter to senior leadership just to get him to speak with me. When we finally connected, he attempted to talk me out of the very case he was under contract to handle--after ghosting me for over three months. Now I am left dealing with statutory limitations due to the delay and am forced to find a new attorney. This has been an extremely unprofessional experience, and I would strongly advise others not to work with him or this firm.

Jody Usow represented me in my custody battle for my daughter. Our first conversation was…read moreproductive and convinced me that I wanted to work with her. Initially, I was going to do the proceedings myself. So I drafted documents and she would review and give me feedback. She was extremely open and honest about every step of the process, advised me clearly on what I should be flexible on and what to stand firm on, then stepped in an took over when things go rough. After my daughter was born, the agreement with her mother quickly soured and after paternity was proven I was only able to see my kid for about 6 hours a week. It was an difficult process and the stress became too much to manage. I decided to retain Jody and from that point It Was Handled. She did all the negotiations and by my child's 1st birthday, I had joint custody and equal placement. Being a father is one of the joys of my life and I firmly believe that Jody Usow was essentially in getting a court order that supports my rights as a father. Thank you Jody!
