0.5 out of 5 stars

This firm, and more specifically, Ben Sherman, has been a nightmare for me. I hired them because they claim to specialize in fathers' rights and parental alienation but they have done nothing for me. I’ve used Ben Sherman and he doesn’t return emails and calls, and he fails to file responses to my ex-wife’s filings allowing her to get multiple default judgments against me. He promised multiple times to file court papers but then never does it. This has gone on for months. I complained to the office manager and sent an email to Jared Olson (The firms founding partner) but never received a response. I was told I would have a call with my attorney and Mr. Olson but Olson never joined the call. I’ve talked to the bar and have a legitimate complaint, which I have been trying to hold off filing until now. They’ve billed me $20k for what should have cost no more than $10k and they refuse to send me a detailed bill. Furthermore, after talking to others attorneys that told me I had a valid legal malpractice suit, I stood up for myself by telling the firm I wouldn’t put up with this anymore. In response, Ben withdrew as my attorney and in his filing, he bashed me to the court making statements intentionally trying to make me look bad to the judge and breaking attorney-client privilege. I am happy to share a copy of his filing.
