I hired this attorney for an uncontested divorce. What should have been a routine, 20-30 minute…read morehearing turned into a three-and-a-half-hour ordeal entirely due to counsel's failure to appear on time and a complete breakdown in communication. On December 18, I arrived at court on time with the only document I was required to personally provide. My attorney did not. For several hours, during a live court proceeding, I received no communication, no updates, and no guidance despite placing multiple calls, including a sustained call lasting over 15 minutes. I was left standing in the courthouse hallway while the judge, clerk, opposing party, and I waited, unsure whether my case would even be heard. Court appearances are not optional. Silence during a live court matter is indefensible. Afterward, communication remained poor. When I formally requested an explanation and accountability for what occurred, I received only administrative updates that avoided the actual conduct in question. No explanation for the failure to appear. No acknowledgment of the impact. No accountability. I have since filed a formal grievance with the bar association documenting the failure to appear and the prolonged lack of communication. If you value timely representation, clear communication, and basic professional responsibility, I cannot recommend this firm. The stress and uncertainty caused by this experience were entirely avoidable and fell well below any reasonable standard of care.

Working with attorney Meaghan Collins during our property transfer was certainly an exercise in…read morepatience. For a transaction involving nearly $100,000, communication was impressively... minimalist. For five weeks there were absolutely no updates at all--so none of us had to suffer the burden of knowing what was happening. The silence was only broken after the partners were notified, at which point updates suddenly became possible. It turns out progress can happen quickly once the right people are aware that nothing has been happening. If you're looking for proactive communication, transparency, or the occasional status update during a six-figure transaction, you may want to manage expectations carefully. On the other hand, if you enjoy sending follow-up emails into the void and wondering whether your funds have entered a witness protection program, this experience will certainly build character.
