Hired Attorney 2025-2026I retained this firm and this lawyer for a family law matter, and my experience was one of devastating professional failure. I came into this matter having successfully navigated DCF and GAL investigations, but the actions taken by this firm caused irreparable harm to my life and alienated me from my daughter. Throughout my representation, I experienced a fundamental breach of the professional standard of care. This was not just a poor outcome; it was a total failure of professional responsibility that prioritized everything but my interests. The level of negligence displayed throughout my case has had life-altering consequences for me and my family. I am sharing this so that others are aware of the significant damage this firm is capable of causing when they fail to uphold their duties to a client

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
