I URGE YOU TO STAY AWAY if you intend on a speedy resolution for any of your legal matters.
I hired them to represent me in my divorce case almost five years ago and I am yet to have a resolution on my dissolution of marriage. I am married with a child and very limited to no assets (No home, hardly any savings). I understand that family matters take quite a bit of time especially when the divorce itself is made contentious by one of the parties involved. Nevertheless, as a client, I have seen how they operate both in and out of the court room.
The most troubling issue I noticed during their tenure with my case is the number of different attorneys handling it. I am not just referring to the same two attorneys that you see in the office (Ms. Kayali and Mr. Yasin) or call you to collect fees. In VLO's case, they have had a myriad of attorneys working for them in very short time periods resulting in case attrition in the court room. I took note of this and grew wary about the progress in my case. Thus, without being asked to attend the court appearances, I attended. To no surprise, I stood in the same court room with their attorneys who are "supposedly" representing me, yet never knew who I was personally. You would think that your message as a client and your requests would trickle down to them if they are rightfully representing you, but that is very seldom the case here. They will never ask for you to be involved until crap hits the fan. With several attorneys handling my case, it was made easy for them to lose sight of the progress/direction that I, as their client, desired. With $6,000+ in fees and 5 years later, I can tell you that VLO will not fight for you. Their attorneys merely go through the motions allowing the other party's attorney to lead the case the whole step of the way, leaving you with endless continuations, no final trial in sight and all of the fees attached to their lackluster legal behavior. read more
