My brother referred my mother to Francisco Sirvent at Keystone Law Firm, for her divorce case. Francisco said that he hired a family law attorney who has 10 years of experience and she will help us with the case.
Susan Pintel, the family law attorney, missed a MAJOR deadline for exhibits and witnesses. Mrs. Pintel verbally agreed with both my mother and I during our initial meeting that as long as we give her the list of witnesses and exhibits by the end of the day on Monday, then she will file them. Mrs. Pintel did not file the documents as promised. After asking Mrs. Pintel about the missed deadline, she responded with, "there was a lot of moving parts." Mrs. Pintel, and Francisco Sirvent both said that missing the deadline for Exhibits and Witnesses would "not be a big deal." That's horrible to hear from a law firm.
After more delays and failures to communicate from Keystone Law Firm, and a shady request for more money after never receiving monthly invoices as promised, my mother fired Keystone Law Firm.
Fast forward to trial, and the "not a big deal" turned out to be a huge deal. The judge did not allow my mother to use her exhibits or witnesses during her trial because Mrs. Pintel missed the deadline, and my mother's case was completely ruined.
Francisco sent my mother an invoice 2-3 weeks after we requested our money back, and Keystone Law Firm used even MORE money after we fired them. Another $1,500!!.
After emailing Francisco about how ridiculous this is, he didn't respond. I will never refer a family member, or any of my clients to this firm, nor should you use them for your legal needs. read more
