Baluch Laura A Rockford Il review signals at a glance

Dawn Domino , Most unprofessional misleading, no communication with Laura Baluch . I always had a witness actually sat n lied to both my self n the person I had with me . Right when I walked out of meeting I phoned my accountant to find out if taxes were put on extension ,as Laura told us. The accountant said absolutely not sent in . This office likes to use attorneys within the firm so had Kari Johnson for a OP , asked for a phone conference or in office meeting never phoned or talked to her , But she talked with the opposing attorney that wanted my case back with the judge I didn’t want to be in front of ,so without my consent or any interaction she got it put in the court room opposing attorney wanted it to be heard . The OP never was heard so I could bring witnesses n pictures . The judge dismissed it .And Laura gives talks to clients about caring about them , and helping them ,,, That was a great sales pitch .The other attorney I spoke with told me he wasn’t a real estate attorney my case needed to have someone versed in this . so he had no idea what he was doing ,he told me …wrote up a document n of course things not right in this document I let him know,He actually got very upset .He never revised anything in this document to show me changes He billed me 4000 $ excessive what I saw you twice n you wrote a document that wasn’t right telling me you had no idea what you were doing .He added I was lucky it wasn’t 20 thousand I guess to justify his excessive bill of 4000 $ That was that hadn’t heard another word nothing ties cut at that point . Than he filed a quiet title lawsuit no telling me or asking no communication in any way whatsoever.He had no consent from me to do so . So walked into court not knowing why I was there even the judge knew I was very confused . Now I’m left with a mess they created with out my knowledge or consent . Absolutely worst mistake retaining her …7000$ she knew nothing about my case . Fired her in June , May 31 I received a bill 1100 $ about two weeks later fired her she wants 3400 $ more . So 10,000 for nothing I mean absolutely nothing … No communication, excessive. Billing misleading me n lies … I’m still trying to pinch myself to see if it was all a nightmare. I’m writing a review but will be following up with a formal complaint . Address wrong on bill n Emails sent to my phone from her other clients .

Emailed this attorney and called twice, leaving messages with her receptionist. They never called back. Hard to recommend with that kind of communication.

$3,500 dollars down the drain from a lack of communication, false promises, and excuses of why it took 4.5 months to write a motion/petition to modify parental allocation which oddly referred to me as the mother (she/her) in the language. I switched counsel because of no movement and had $200 left from my retainer which was never reimbursed even after calling the firm’s office asking for payment. Moreover, she was unprepared for court and got talked over by the other party’s lawyer. I got the results I was looking for elsewhere.
