I hired Serena N. Hulbert for a family matter. I filed the first motion with the court so we took…read morethe offence. Soon after the opposing attorney filed a counter motion and Serena acted like she was lose. She clearly didn't know how to handle being on offence. She did seem very comfortable being on defense. You see the pay is the same for her no matter and she doesn't have to do any work. Just reply to whatever came down the pipe. The months that followed proved this to be true. Her discovery was non existent. At several times I made complantes about this and she would reply "feel free to do it yourself". I told her I didn't have the power of sopena like she did. She lashed out in anger at me many times during the 9 months she was on the case. I would point out things Serena could do on the case from talking with other attorneys to give her ideals. Her reply would always be "i'll think about it". I thing she wanted justice for me but at the same time it was like she wanted to control the amout of justice. It was clear she was not doing the best work to her ability. You might think well why not find another attorney to take over the case. Well it's not as simple as that. You see your already in to her thousands of dollars not to mention all the time to bring her up to speed on the case. Serena lied to the judge in the last hearing she was on the case, so she needed an out and she found one. She used the contract to her advantage and asked for a unreasonable amount on money which I had but was not going to throw good money after bad. Serena is all the bad things you hear about bad lawyers buy find hard to believe. Well I can tell I lived it, it's all true. I could sign my name as ATM, because that's what you will be to Thorpe Compton & Christain. Nothing is free with them. you call them your on the clock, something needs faxed. Watch out all the people that had a hand on it will need to be paid. Plus the long distance for the fax. Really who charges for long distance any more. They are all about the money not about getting results for you. You might also want to check the character of the attorney working for you, I wish I had.

Leeches! These guys are bunch of leeches! If you need a FAMILY LAWYER from a father's…read moreperspective..you are screwed. This company doesn't help any matter. Other than the few court filings that I was either responding too or filing myself, they were completely useless. Not to mention charging 2.5 hours for "preparing for trial" when it was deliberated in less than 10 minutes before the trial. There was nothing to prepare for that we already didn't know. In a previous court session..my actual lawyer went on vacation and his assistant took over. I had to call to figure out wtf was the trial about and she ended up accepting deals that I never even was told about. Not to mention the "law changed" in between time periods and yet I only went to trial based on the old "statute" and would of taken the settlement straight away ‍. But that's just to leech more money off you. Lawyers in general are leeches but these guys take the cake. Don't use these guys if you need a family lawyer Walworth county. They genuinely didn't add any value to anything. They didn't really put up a defense for me whatsoever. I came up with counter points to claims. They didn't provide anything when it came to that matter. Why even have a lawyer if that's the case? Not to mention being charged for 15minutes of a phone call that lasted 2 minutes. And wouldn't need a phone call if they just responded to an email that also costs you $20 back and forth. But you also get charged for the phone call about the email. All in all..LEECHES. Over $6k spent and my situation is completely worse off. Whole situation is just sad/unfortunate and completely dumb

My fourth call was to ask for the return of my documents. A very unprofessional experience.

A high school debate team would have been a better choice for me as a defense representative. I was…read moreassigned one of the young associates who obviously did not do her homework on my case. Made numerous errors during the trial, misspoke several times, passed up openings to catch the plaintiff telling or fabricating untruths all while assuring me that she had a good strategy and game plan. She became very flustered and lost focus even to the point where she could not remember the basic facts of the case. Her ineptitude cost me a much more than just an extended order of restraint based upon a fantasy of fear, it has cost me my good name by labeling me a domestic abuser for the rest of my life by anyone who looks up this case. Oh, at the end when we asked if there was any course of action we could take in repeal, she stated there was not. However, there is an appeal process to this and she was either too inept or too ignorant to know. One positive, when I did complain to the partners at the end of the trial, they did take what I had to say very seriously. So, again, maybe it is just the lawyers with the training wheels one needs to avoid here.
