Dana Eberle-Peay - New Albany, IN

I hired Dana Eberle-Peay to represent me as my divorce attorney. Upon meeting with her and hearing my situation, she acted like a bulldog and she assured me that the case would go in my favor if I hired her. Fast forward to our mediation, the 7 hour day was the toughest day of my life. Dana did nothing short of take up space and was not the bulldog she led me to believe. Instead, she seemed more interested in talking about her upcoming vacation rather than fight for me during my mediation process. I felt like I was making all of the decisions on my own because she wasn’t mentally present for me AT ALL. Dana even went as far as to gossip about other clients that she had and replied to emails (yes, she worked on other cases during time I was paying her for). After the mediation and after getting financially destroyed by my ex, I was feeling pretty defeated, Dana tried to assure me that at least my $3,000 deposit should cover most of her services. Boy was she wrong. After getting stuck with the bill for mediation (btw, the mediator worked for the firm as well, so it’s all an inside racket over at CLLB Law). Dana basically ghosted me for the next 4 months while her paralegal continued to charge more fees to my account. Later on, the paralegal said some of the costs were from forms that THEY didn’t process properly. She actually admitted to charging me for an error that they made, not me. I had to call them, since Dana was no longer responding to me and I demand that they stop representing me! I was getting taken advantage of from both sides and I just wanted them to stop charging me. It was such a horrible experience. At the beginning of all of this mess, I was assured that I would only be charged around $3k-$5k of legal fees from them, with a deposit of $3,000 to have her represent me. It ended up being nearly $9K that they got out of me before I demanded them to stop representing me! (I would have sued them for malpractice if I had any money left). Do not hire the people from CLLB Law. Dana Eberle-Peay did nothing short of rob me blind. The name of the paralegal who was also involved as both the mediator and paralegal is named Joely K. Arthur. These people don’t have their clients best interest in mind, only their own. I hope this at least keeps someone else out there from getting taken advantage of by these people.
