I used the Arizona Board that gives a list of lawyers who are proven experts in their field. I was…read moremet by an Attorney, whose name I had to ask for in our free initial consultation, which ended when I was told the price for their services was a flat fee of $10,000.
The fact that it was a free initial consultation was a pleasant surprise. In addition, Stephanie Ramos, was very kind and attentive.
I'm sure an error was made, not out of malice or purposefully, but was mistakenly met with a junior member of the firm's criminal law division, despite being assured I'd meet with a partner.
I asked, yesterday, to be represented by a senior or founding partner, preferably by Mr. Cantor as the case requires his unique expertise, especially since I only have one chance to present evidence to the Phoenix Court.
Upon review of the firm's website, their Family Law division states they have affordable hourly rates. I am waiting on the wire transfer, for the $10K. It has to be pulled from different investments, to minimize the financial impact. The transfer should arrive this week.
Given the urgent need for Mr. Cantor's unique expertise, I called and asked to hear back from the firm.
My e-mail to the attorney who said that if I needed anything, to send him an email, has not responded. I have also not received any call or email from the firm since then.
I understand Mr. Cantor must be a busy man, so while I still prefer him as my representative, throughout the entire process, most importantly have him physically present at the Court, to ensure my chances of success, I would be confident with any of the Arizona Board certified experts in Family Law to help.
For example, Partner, Director of Client Relations, Daniel Wilcox; or Senior Associate, Lisa L. Monnette; or Managing Partner, Nicholas Boca; or Senior Associate, Kyle Stephenson; or Senior Associate, Travis Owen.
Please reach out to me. I'd much rather have the best team, especially since this is a time-sensitive legal emergency, I do not have the luxury of waiting.
After reading many reviews, and the fact that the firm clearly doesn't consider me or the money I bring as a priority, it seems, for now, that the reviews were right and perhaps another firm may actually care about my case and respond in a timely fashion.
I do not have many days left to challenge the decision of the court, so, for my 2-year-old twin baby girls, I will look for another firm that is willing to take my case seriously, instead of simply ignoring it all, without so much as a professional courtesy, letting me know what the firm is doing or thinking, just keeping me in the loop. I'm incredibly disappointed.
However, the DM Cantor law firm may be working on my case, and reassigned a senior member who is certified in family law by the Arizona Board to my case. The firm may have a valid reason, and I hope that's the case. If that happens and it's communicated to me as soon as possible, I will update this review, and all others, to reflect that, and give them 5 stars. Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, after all.
