Hired Law Firm

Never Again- vote of no confidence is warranted. Opposing attorney ‘ate my attorney’s lunch’ every time! Embarrassing representation. Haphazard preparation, poor litigation and elementary presentation. However, will get a billing statement- guaranteed!

Hired Law Firm

Initially, I had hired a solicited attorney that I had established a good rapport with. She defined our goals, time frame, & what I may expect in the first six months. That was in October 2017. We agreed to communicate via text messaging which was ideal. In April 2018 I made an inquiry on a Friday & received no reply. I found out 5 days later that my Attorney was no longer with the firm. And that Mr. Kennedy was taking my case! With no other option afforded me. I was forced into a Client-Attorney relationship without a choice. Mr Kennedy never endorsed me as a client. I always felt as though this was “personal” with him, staff, & me! I was paying the firm on time as per their accounting. But Mr Kennedy demanded a $5K payment or my case would be referred out to a “Lower” attorney. I ended up selling my car to pay him. After the Final judgement I had to hire a 2nd attorney to FINISH what Mr Kennedy did not complete. In all I spent $24K over what the QDRO attorney did for $750.

Hired Law Firm

I asked this firm to draft a very standard agreement with a very standard & simple clause because I was on a tight deadline. After a "free consultation" on the phone that I now realize was more of a qualifying call I was handed off to an attorney for my in office visit which cost me $650 to talk to the attorney who was different then the person I spoke over the phone with despite the woman saying "before we meet" a few times on the call. The firm pre-billed me before the attorney could being. A couple weeks went by before she sent me a draft. I presented the draft & when the other party was ready to move to the final version & sign I wrote the lawyer asking to move forward. Weeks went by with no reply before I called the firm. She was on vacation & then didn't return my email after bc she hadn't gotten to it yet. The firm still owes me for the pre-billed balance but tells me the partner is on vacation. They're the worst. Do yourself a favor find other attorneys.
