1 /5 Sam R: I hired this attorney to help with my divorce and child custody case, and unfortunately, the experience was horrible —especially given the high cost. While I was aware of his expensive rates upfront, I thought it would be worth it given many of the good reviews I had read. Honestly, I think it is biased as people are afraid to leave an attorney a bad review.
From the beginning, he avoided taking responsibility for anything, regularly blaming others. Despite my ex’s well-documented and concerning behavior, the attorney made what should have been a straightforward case feel unnecessarily complicated and uncertain.
One of his major recommendations was to bring in a child custody evaluator, which added even more to the financial burden and stress on myself and the children that really should not have been necessary. In hindsight, this seems more bogus than I originally even thought
He never gave direct answers to my questions and often rambled with long-winded, confusing “parables”.
While his office staff was diligent about forwarding documents, there was no guidance or interpretation provided. Receiving legal paperwork without any context only increased my anxiety—especially since it was impossible to reach him outside of scheduled phone calls, even after months into the case and tens of thousands of dollars spent.
Perhaps most troubling was his complete inability to offer reassurance at any point. With a volatile ex, I needed reassurance and support. Instead, I often felt more unsure after our interactions than before.
I deeply regret hiring this attorney. And felt stuck with the complexity of my case and money already invested.
