Spalding & Wood, LLC - Salem, OR

My life has never been the same since I had this lawyer. He told me to file for custody when that's not what I was supposed to do I was supposed to file for temporary guardianship!!!!! So right off the bat we started off on the wrong foot because he mislead me. As soon as he found out I had mental health problems he didn't like me and he flipped to the other side. He told me to get my mental health records...made me get an appointment and go through all this stuff to get them and then when I got them he refused to submit them even though I wanted them submitted. He told me it was not a good call and he was not going to submit them and he didn't. My mental health records showed that I am in excellent shape regarding my mental health and that's why he wouldn't submit them. He flipped to their side. If you think this man is going to fight for you then just forget it if you have any mental health problems or if he decides he doesn't like you. If he likes you he will charm the pants off you but beware because if he finds out something about you that he doesn't like he will flip on you like he did me. I wouldn't agree to give this other grandmother temporary guardianship because her husband has been convicted of a crime against minor children. This lawyer did not fight for me and was completely fine with letting a women married to someone with a crime against a minor child have my grandson in her care. That's the kind of lawyer this is and that's who you're dealing with so before you make a decision to give this man thousands of dollars of your hard earned money hope you listen to my story and take it very seriously because this lawyer is not out for you. He wants your money and that's all he wants. He withdrew on me when I told him that I'm a disabled woman and I can't afford to give him another $8,000. Now I'm elderly disabled and alone with no help to see my grandson. He absolutely promised me I would get visitation and I didn't get anything. I lost my case and he did not make sure I got visitation because he withdrew on me at the end and left me alone.
