Crista Benedict has been amazing for my custody case, she was one of the few attorneys who shared…read moremy concerns since she has a small child of her own and saw exactly where I was coming from. I'm very pleased to have retained her and stuck with her, that is not to say that there weren't times of frustration due to the speed at which the case moved, which might be a similar complaint found elsewhere in the reviews, but that has more to do with the nature of the legal system than with Crista's lack of commitment. Often times I would receive an email at 12:30 at night after she had been at the officer all day, she somehow found time to be both a mother and a dedicated professional. On a separate occasion she worked on my case during a recovery after surgery she was working, all of which is very impressive. If you hire her, I encourage patience, she is like a steam engine, she may appear slow at first but given time she works much faster delivering powerful persuasive arguments.

Mr. McHugh is a lawyer. Just not a very helpful one…read more Please consider the following questions before allowing Mr. McHugh to take your money and represent you. Would you like a lawyer that: Advocates for you? Communicates with you? Possesses a sense of urgency? Instills a sense of reassurance or partnership with you? Takes notes regarding your case and then actually refers to them in the future? Makes eye contact with you? Remembers your name? If you answer "Yes" to any of the above questions, then Mr. McHugh is not the lawyer for you. Instead, if you would like a lawyer that: Starts off your first consultation by saying: "I don't mean to insult your intelligence..." and then does exactly that. Makes you feel like a simpleton because YOU don't understand the law or the intricacies of the court. Requires continual hand-holding, follow-up, and prompting from you for any action to be taken on your behalf. Does not respond in a timely manner to your calls, voicemails, or emails. Simply forwards emails to you from the court or the opposing counsel with no explanatory comment or additional context. Forces the opposing counsel to write a hardcopy letter to your lawyer that starts with: "I have been trying to reach you. Please give me a call." Just to get a response and discuss terms. When confronted, admits that his communications with you have not been "up to par" and yet is no more proactive or transparent in future interactions. If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then congratulations! Mr. McHugh is your kind of lawyer. If you retain Mr. McHugh, expect to pay full price for less than full service. You will be left in the dark and then get billed for doing your own case management and communication. Mr. McHugh failed to put forth even the minimum expected effort for a retained attorney. At no time in handling my case did he proactively reach out to me with information, options, or communications to bring my case to a timely resolution. In every interaction it was up to me to initiate communication or prompt him to take action in contacting opposing counsel or continually remind him to ensure key elements I desired were included in the iterative drafts of court documents. The gut-wrenching process of a divorce or custody dispute is draining and comes at a high emotional cost. Paying for an attorney that is distant, disengaged, and unresponsive only compounds the cost. Had Mr. McHugh expended half the effort on my behalf that I spent on writing this online review, I would have avoided a great deal of unnecessary anxiety, stress, and fees. Save yourself the trouble, frustration, and headache of my experience. Keep searching and find a helpful and committed lawyer to represent you.

I'll be honest, I was a bit weary of hiring one of these hi-faluting lawyer types, but when Mr…read more Spencer picked up the phone, he seemed different. He really listened to me and my situation with my divorce, my family, my estate, and most importantly, my TRUST, and he won me over with what seemed to be GENUINE concern and CARE. Over the time I've worked with Spencer, I'll be honest, I have NOT always been Happy, but that is because he calls it like it is and gives me honest advice and counseling that I need and honestly it seems his advice is the type of advice that a Lawyer might be Inclined Not to give but he seems to just Have MY back and Only give the type of advice that a BEST FRIEND would give. I appreciate him beyond belief and would recommend him and his law office without reservations to anyone seeking Genuine Counsel. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions as he and His firm have helped me Beyond Belief.

Mr. Berg appeared unprepared, got key facts of our case wrong in court, failed to properly handle required filings, and even admitted he had not reviewed the opposing party's response when questioned by the judge.

Instead, we were left feeling overcharged, ignored, and completely let down.
