1 /5 Lesley Darner: Hired for a child support/ custody case. After a $3,000 retainer, $700 mediation, and another $1,400+ bill, I had to personally take my paperwork to the office of the Attorney General to establish child support payments. Mediation was in March 2017, and here it is February of 2018. He did not want to be confrontational with the other attorney, so he didn’t push for anything that I was asking for. Being a young woman who put her trust in his hands, hired to advise her, was my mistake. The attorney-client agreement is eloquently written and very deceiving. He did not keep in touch, he’s not usually at the office, and charges for phone calls to you if you do not answer. (The one he did make) During our discussions, I noticed he liked to raise his voice as an intimidation tactic. To me! No thank you! NOT the kind of attorney that needs to be hired by women. If he would have spoken with the other attorney the way he was speaking to me, I’m sure I would have been semi satisfied with his services. As it so happens he didn’t. Wasted time and money. Look elsewhere. On a lighter note, he has a wonderful secretary.
