Los errores son constantes y los resultados simplemente no existen. This firm showed me a pattern of behavior that no client should ever ignore: Basic mistakes on simple tasks like change‑of‑address forms- repeated, careless, and never corrected. Constant turnover of paralegals, forcing clients to repeat the same information because no one communicates internally. Misleading "Spanish‑speaking" advertising. Only the paralegals speak Spanish. The attorneys do not. More communication from billing than from the attorney. When the billing department contacts you more than your lawyer, the priorities are clear -- and they are not the client. The attorney introduced at the beginning was NOT the attorney assigned after payment. That switch alone is a major red flag. My assigned attorney does not appear anywhere on the firm's own team webpage. That lack of transparency is unacceptable. Online reviews show a pattern of detailed complaints that match my experience, yet the firm responds with generic "contact us for feedback" messages instead of addressing the issues. The money disappears fast, and the work does not reflect the cost. The value, communication, and results do not match what they charge. Something is off about how this place operates. The mismatch between their five‑star ratings and the consistent complaints about money and lack of results is impossible to ignore. I'm writing this so others don't have to go through what I did. The lack of consistency, transparency, and professionalism is alarming, and the firm's priorities are nowhere near where they should be.

He is a highly skilled man; I do not know if out lawyered is a real term, but he made the opposing attorney look like amateurs. He kept me informed and walked me through the most difficult time in my life. He helped me prepare for court and he anticipated and was a step ahead of everything they tried. Needless to say, I am very pleased with the outcome, and God forbid I should ever need legal representation again, I am without a doubt going to hire John.

I hired John to represent me in family court for my parenting time, legal decision making, and…read morechild support. I did some research on local lawyers and spoke to him on the phone. Things that I liked right off the bat were the reviews online, his lengthy experience with this type of case and his immediate availability. I rely heavily on reviews so I looked at multiple places for cross referencing and everything seemed to check out.  I did feel like John had my best interest at first and during the process something changed. His attitude changed towards the case as well as this attitude on how he was dealing with me.  I questioned one thing that I was charged for and it seemed like everything after that point completely changed. He started charging for absolutely everything under 'John's fee'. I believe it was something like $35 to forward any email to me, $100 for me to drop documents off at his office. He would sit in his office and tell me stories of his grandkids and of his other clients and I would be charged his $360 hour rate for that time. During the initial meeting we had I remember asking specifically if he had a paralegal that helped with some of the tasks and he mentioned his wife Becky and said she helped out here and there but come-to-find-out he charges "John's rate" for everything that is done.  One of the court virtual meetings John had forwarded me a number to call in. When I got on call the judge asked why I wasn't on video chat. Unfortunately, It made me look unprepared and avoidant, which was not the case by any means.  During our very last hearing John spent hours and hours (based on what I was billed for) preparing for the final case. When we went in, he submitted every text message between my childs father and I (1 years worth) which the opposing counsel skimmed through on their laptop and used multiple parts of MY evidence against me. When evidence was used against me to prove the other sides point, he never reviewed  and clarified any of the statements to the judge. Based on all of the interactions and documentation between my son's father and I this should have been easily swayed in my favor (ex had recent DUI, texts of him guilty of coercion, and multiple examples of contempt of court to name a few things). Instead I walked into that courtroom completely feeling unprepared. The only thing I was told to focus on to prepare for court was "make a timeline of events". I did have a timeline prepared but there are so many other things that would have helped in court that I was completely not prepared for.  In the end, the cost was about 50% more than he had originally quoted me on 'what the case should cost', with no additional court dates or reasons for this to be higher. About a week after receiving the judgement I had emailed John asking if he knew why my ex would get to claim my son for 3 consecutive years on taxes, he has just completely ignored my email and why the judgement was so far in his favor. He just completely ignored me. I just wanted to put my experience out there because if i would have read a current review that was honest and stated these types of behaviors I may have not trusted all of these perfect reviews that this lawyer has. I just feel like in the end he did not do me justice, I'm not sure he really cared much if my case went well or not. In some cases experience isn't everything. I don't like feeling taken-advantage-of so I hope this helps someone out there who may weigh heavy on the reviews, like I do. Kindly,

Instead, I found myself navigating critical safety concerns largely on my own. When I asked for assistance with filing an Order of Protection, I was told that "wasn't what I hired him for." That moment revealed something I did not expect to discover in a lawyer: an unwavering belief in the limits of his role, even when a child's safety was central to the case. Throughout my engagement, important evidence I provided was not presented, court preparation was minimal, and communication about procedures was unclear. I repeatedly found myself unsure of what had been filed, what had been argued, or what to expect in hearings that determined my child's day-to-day reality. What made this even more disorienting was the tone of some of the commentary I received. Rather than focusing on legal strategy or documented concerns, discussions veered into personal territory -- including remarks about hormones and "rabbit holes" -- which felt dismissive during an already stressful time. Financially, I was billed for work that did not translate into courtroom action, clarity, or preparation. The imbalance between cost and tangible representation left me asking a question no parent should have to ask while paying for counsel: "Am I actually being represented?" I'm sharing this so other parents understand what I wish I had known: a lawyer can be physically present and yet functionally absent. Family court is not theoretical. It involves children, safety, and irreversible outcomes. Clients deserve a legal advocate who sees the gravity of that -- not someone who treats concerns as detours. I cannot recommend this firm based on my experience.

The statute of limitations was about to expire, and I felt that I was running out of time. I had called everywhere and tried every avenue I could think of before I was finally referred to David Degnan. I am extremely grateful that I found him. I scheduled a free 15-minute consultation with David, but once he understood the extent of the damage and the urgency of the situation, he continued speaking with me for nearly 45 minutes. He was never in a hurry, never made me feel rushed, and did not charge me for the additional time. He listened carefully, treated me with respect, and offered meaningful guidance at a time when I felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. Rather than encouraging me to spend money unnecessarily, David gave me practical advice and helped me understand how I could move forward on my own at that stage. He also told me that if I needed him later in the process, he would be happy to represent me. That meant a great deal to me because I felt he was genuinely looking out for my best interests rather than simply trying to obtain a paying client. I ultimately filed the case myself, using much of the advice he generously provided, and the matter is now moving forward. What stood out to me most was not only his knowledge, but also his kindness, patience, and genuine concern. As a senior citizen dealing with a stressful and complicated situation, I felt respected, heard, and valued. David is a caring and compassionate attorney, and I will always appreciate the time, guidance, and reassurance he gave me when I truly needed it.
