Let me first add the caveats that no one is thrilled to a) get a divorce, or b) have to pay a…read morelawyer for a divorce. Nonetheless, as my now ex-spouse simply refused mediation I had no choice but to file for divorce. There were complicated custody issues stemming from the fact that my ex is a citizen of another country while our son remained here in my care. Given not only the international dimension of formalizing custody but, also, clear attempts by the other party to exhaust me through procedural chicanery, the case had the potential to become a costly uphill battle. I'm grateful to Scott for his help in getting the courts to rightfully grant me sole custody of my son with final decision making authority. There were a few other items related to a pension that I had been paying into, as well as, sole authority to apply for passports and other items that insured my and my son's full financial and legal autonomy from my ex. Like I said, no one is going to sing the praises of getting billed but I believe under the circumstances Scott was always earnest in pursuing the end goal and he achieved exactly that. It took 2.5 years for the final order in part due to the courts being closed over 2 summers. While Scott definitely covered his bases, he also clearly worked at a face pace, kept the cost relatively inexpensive. That is a total bonus given we are now a one income fam. I also appreciate that Scott is a younger lawyer and therefore more relatable than some grumpy old guy at a super expensive firm. I say he gets full partnership now!

She is a lawyer who spent her time and my money fighting the client instead of fighting the case. Her communication style is obtuse and highly defensive especially when asked questions. She makes it clear you will save money if you don't interact and "let her do her work". To the contrary, that resulted in escalating costs with limited explanation or request for direction. In my experience, she is not reliable.

Asked for help when my father passed. The insurance company withheld $30000 from me as they said I…read moreneeded to contact a lawyer to get access to the money my father left me. They never helped me, billed me for $300 and when I called to ask them what was up, they set my retainer fee to $3000. I asked if they would be able to take it from the lump sum afterwards, they declined. So basically i retained absolutely no service with the death of my father and they charged me $3300 and sent it off to the creditors not a week later. The junior lawyer who did this to me no longer works there, but they still have no interest in helping me in any way shape or form other than helping themselves to $3300 of my hard earned dollars.
