I had one request and he had the audacity to instruct me and tell the other party's attorney to contact HIM. I hired them for one thing with minimal tweaks here and there, but nothing was done. 10 months with this firm being my counsel and the ONE job the attorney had, didn't even make it to the other party's office to get signed, let alone filed. I severed ties and the only thing I got out of the ridiculous retainer fee were copies of paper that served no purpose and 0 benefit to me.

My ex wife on the other hand. Her lawyer spoke with her all through out the time in between cases and she was fully prepared for everything. My lawyer confused everyone when she talked to the point the judge had to stop her. I felt like every time we went to court that my lawyer was only there to get paid and didn't care at all about me or the outcome. Long to short I wasted my HARD Earned money on a firm that I thought I could trust.

Months later, after no personal contact, we met to review prior to the court date. It was evident he was out-lawyered, and changed his demeanor with me. He was condescending and even asked me if I remembered my wedding vows. He's in my opinion a sexist, and not interested in fighting for his clients in divorce proceedings. I was often put off by his legal assistant who made excuses like "He has an emergency meeting with a client, or he ran to jail to talk to a client...hence I had no indication the extensive financial information I was providing was being given to the opposing attorney to build a case for alimony against me. When I was finally told that was happening, I obviously balked, and Chris replied "If you don't like it, fire me!" So of course I did.

Despite some good Google reviews, and claiming to be the #1 lawyer in upstate NY for traffic tickets and DUI, they never returned my calls (three of them), despite promising multiple times that the call would be returned before the end of the day. I was dumb enough to believe that and waited for many days, before going with another lawyer for help just in time. Apparently, being the "#1 attorney" means never returning client calls. If you enjoy playing phone tag with unresponsive lawyers while your court date looms, these are your people. Otherwise, you'll be better off finding someone who actually cares about helping their clients. Please don't fall for the Google reviews or their Facebook ratings. https://www.facebook.com/maryjanemurphyesq/ Luckily I was able to find someone else and defend my ticket.

We had a solid case then when we got to the mediating part he contradicted me and himself in there w her and her lawyers. Making us look stupid and completely going off the narrative that I originally went to him to help me with to begin with! Tried to get me to agree to less time. That's right this man child literally thought I wanted to pay him to take an overnight away and replace said night with a 3-4 hrs pickup after school then back with mom when I already had that Wednesday after school through the next morning when I brought them to school!! He's terrible! Not only that I get the final straw in the mail in the form of the "statement " and somehow out of the $5k retainer we already paid and his services of 1hr in court and about 15 min over the phone another time arguing circumstantial crap that was literally about my daughter's inhaler and me stating (to him btw) that "i thought it was stupid, the doctors prescribe a steroid inhaler for my daughter" who had a chest cold that I can remember and maybe a wheeze but fine since for months. But they prescribed it daily for the foreseeable future! That's all an opinion to my lawyer yet that man charged me $800 to "research" that crap prescribed for daily use" among many other bs charges but somehow put of the $5k retainer and all that work he did, somehow I owe the turd like $2700!!
