My experience with Maureen was horrible. We met in January to discuss the issue I was having with…read moremy ex-husband's retirement benefits. She said it was something she would be able to handle and wanted to help. I paid the retainer she requested and waited to hear something from her. Fast forward eight months later, after 18 unanswered phone calls, multiple unanswered emails, and no communication whatsoever I asked for a refund of the $1000.00 I gave her minus any cost of the documents she said she drafted in April. She did refund the full amount after I told her I would stop at the Strongsville Police Station if I didn't get a response by the next day. In the event she wants to say she never worked with me I have proof. Maureen Zito mfz@mzitolaw.com Jun 26, 2023, 6:53PM to me I have to get pre-approval of qualified domestic relations orders we prepared, before we all sign, submit to the Judge and then send to the Plan administrator. The Office of Personnel Management will review them. If we don't get pre-approval, we could end up doing them all over again. Maureen Nancy Jun 27, 2023, 8:40AM to Dale, Maureen Wow, how easy it would be to have a conversation in these last 6 months since texts and emails get no response. So I guess I'll type my questions and hope to get a reply sometime in the near future. WHAT was going to be sent over the weekend? WHO has to pre-approve the orders? WHAT REASONS would it not be approved? HOW MUCH LONGER do we wait for the preapproval? WHY couldn't this have been in process months ago? WHAT PAPERWORK were you referring to in your text on March 23rd? "You are not bothering me. I DRAFTED PAPERWORK and need to get it out to your ex. Thanks for the nudge. Stay dry!" (text you sent March 23rd) NUDGED on March 23?? I would like a copy of the qualified domestic relations orders you prepared. How much of my retainer has been used, what is the balance? 1-10 - debit card charged $1000.00 3-23 - nudged or reminded I guess 6-27 - still not a clue what's going on I need to know the details.

We sought Ms Schraff out having heard about her expertise and reputation which were high. I made…read morethe arrangements on behalf of my elder father. Ms. Schraff, under the guise of ethical concerns, which I totally agreed with and understood, met privately with my father who is rather naive when it comes to these complicated matters of the times we live in. Rather than ASK him if he wanted to include me in their meeting, they met privately so that I could not be sure all concerns were addressed. I also was foolish and communicated with her prior to share some background of our family circumstances and my concerns...this seemed to color, imo, her attitude toward me, painting me as the potentially exploitative daughter and nothing could be further than that. During the course of things, as she prepared the routine will, and POA's etc, some questions came up that I sent to her via email. While she did provide some preliminary guidelines about fees that was signed off on, I was totally shocked to see bills come through for "Read, Review and Respond" to emails I had sent. It may be acceptable, but I found it unconscionable to be of so little assistance on behalf of a client. Once I got a bill I limited all communication with her. At the end of things I felt advance planning was not well explained or discussed, and she ever so sweetly offered to further meet with u$$$$. In fact, I called to clarify that the fee to review the papers and sign them was included before we would ever step foot in her office again...some of the work was in draft form, but others could be signed with a notary which we could do at no cost at AAA. It took, as I recall THREE DAYS and multiple calls on my part to get a response to that simple question until the last when I pointed out our appointment was the next day or that afternoon and I/we were not coming unless I/we had an answer. I warned my father not to ask any questions at all, to sign only, dare we incur additional fees. And in the end because of concerns about my mother who has dementia, we wound up with another certified attorney closer to home who was OUTSTANDING. Although, from a professional/peer standpoint it was clear she didn't want to pursue and recourse, she nearly immediately in her brief review of the work that had been done found a huge error that required us to pay AGAIN to have the same work /form done. Although it was as I recall several hundred hard-earned dollars, it didn't seem worth having to deal with Ms Schraff again. Her former partner and she recently parted ways resulting in the creation of a new firm which provided us the opportunity to have the work she had done transferred to our new attorney who is wonderful.
