I was told my case for support would cost me between $4,000 to $5,000. I now have a bill over 4 times that amount (not including what he has already been paid). I did all the research and leg work on my case and all he had to say was how much time he put into it. I was thinking how? Great attorney with knowledge however only cares about money. Doesn’t not care that I am not receiving much support only talks about needing paid. You are charged for every email he reads, sends, every phone call even if it just a simple question. $200 charge for him to reply to a simple email is excessive. I am now working two jobs because of the financial position I am in due to all of this. He will talk down to you, and lecture you instead of listen.

He was highly recommended but failed me miserably on a very simple thing. He never mentioned that Ohio law supersedes my life insurance beneficiary after divorce. That if we wanted to keep each other as beneficiary on our life insurance policies after the divorce we needed to redo them when the divorce was final. Not having this information has left me without the funds we had set up for such an emergency as my Ex died 6 months after our divorce leaving behind our five year old son. The money is being held for him till he turns 18. I am jobless, taking care of my Dad with Alzheimer's and broke.

doesn't listen but instead lectures. Charges for a phone call made to you even if you dont answer. Very hard to reach has no cell phone. Lost papers and blamed it on the file being to large.Did not argue but accepted words as fact with no proof to back statement.Does not care about you only about his money.I had a court order to receive support and in a year have not received any money but every time he talks to me he uses time to say why he wants his money and I have given him over $3,500.00
