It’s unacceptable for an attorney to arrive late on the very first day of court without any communication—especially in a sensitive case involving domestic violence. Instead of being met with professionalism and support, I was met with a nonchalant attitude, as if this was normal. There were clear mistakes and missed opportunities throughout the case—errors I likely ended up paying for. While this law firm may have strengths in certain areas, I would not recommend them for cases involving domestic violence, restraining orders, or family matters. As a domestic violence survivor, navigating the legal system is already emotionally exhausting. Hiring an attorney should provide relief, not add to the burden. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. After deciding to reserve the remainder of my trust for my final hearing, I had to substitute out my attorney. Even then, the main attorney never followed up with me or offered any support, which was disheartening and unprofessional. To date, I’ve spent $7,500. $2,500 of which I paid under the impression that my attorney was prepared for trial. She was not. Had I been properly informed, I might have saved that money for someone actually capable of representing me at my upcoming hearing. Now, I am without representation, struggling to find a new attorney as my trial approaches, with limited resources left to start over. This experience has been both financially and emotionally damaging. If I could give negative stars, I absolutely would.
