I hired Margaret on the basis of her bragging that she was known as a "****" by the court and other lawyers. Not so. I often thought she was sympathetic to my ex! I got $800.00 for THREE kids! She wasn't a force to be reckoned with in the least bit. Get yourself a lawyer who will protect the children and it's NOT her.

Very underhanded tactics, stay away from her if you value having any relationship with your ex

Extremely poor communication, lacks the abilitlry to make progress on a timely basis as to drain both side of all there assets. I don't recommend this attorney.

Does whatever she can do to increase billable hours. Instead of settling case, she went against my own decision and settled case in pretrial at courthouse just to increase her own hours. Horribly unethical should be disbarred.

Margaret Stanard represented my wife in my divorce, and pulled out stolen documents from my business. These documents where associated with my clients and protected by the privacy act. Said documents where used against me in a deposition!! NO ETHICS!

My ex and I went into divorce already agreed on every detail. Margaret played every trick in the book the increase her billable hours, create tension and hostility and line her pockets with our money. Despicable. Find another attorney

A family member used Margaret Stanard for her divorce. We were all made privy to details we would have rather not been privy to. I say this to convey the depth of our knowledge of the proceedings . To say Margaret was an asset to her case would be a joke. The above reviews were spot on in there description of making emotional issues without merit and without research both detrimental to her client while only serving to extend stress and billable hours for all parties. This type of attorney is exactly the type that is helping to destroy families as well as a once respected profession. Eventually many of these parties must remain in contact because of the children etc.. but her tactics serve to often permanently alienate the mother and father by scorching her own clients interest while pretending shes making progress. You will guaranteed be left with a tremendous bill and an eventual end to your case that serves no ones interest but her own. My relative who used her is now broke.

Ms. Stanard is very knowledgable about divorce law, however, this does not seem to be an advantage to her clients. She persues emotional issues (which is difficult for a client that is already emotionally distressed) in order to increase billable hours. After spending an enormous amount of money and time I realised that I had come out of my divorce with what was a pretty standard agreement, which without all her unescesary tactics would have cost me probaly 1/4 of what I ended up paying. I was told by a clevland court judge that this is her style with many clients.

Her tactics only serve to prolong litigation which can only serve to improve her reimbursement. Attempts to push a position without doing her homework that is rejected by opposing counsel and does not result in anything of merit for her client when she has to settle.Least likely attorney to get to an amicable settlement and wastes everyone's time and money in the process

Suprised to see such unhappy reviews, I had used Margaret in the past and found her to be very reliable and cost effective, the opossing attorney had charged 5 times what Margaret had charged. I had found her very fair and most reliable to handle my case.

Totally confused as to why there are bad reviews- maybe they really come from opposing clients! After watching my case go nowhere after 2 years, I went to a friend attorney to look at my case and recommend anything to move my case along. She highly recommended Margaret Stanard even stating that only Margaret would stand up to the horrible tactics my ex husband attorney was doing. It was a complicated case. Within 10 months after Margaret took my case, it was finally over. She always made me aware of the cost, and I believed she always had my best interest at heart. She made the other parties realize that she was not going to let them waste my money but their stall tactics. She does not care for emotions- very businesslike. She gets it done and as efficiently as possible. Excellent attorney - they should all be like her and her associates.

completely agree with 1st reviewer's comments; very poor communication, dwells on emotional issues with no real progress ever to be made while charging exhorbitant rates, maintains hostile relationship with opposing attorney making it extremely difficult to accomplish anything. Avoid this attorney.

Attempts to keep communication beteween parties hostile. This enables her to drain any assets while billable hours increse . When the assets are drained only then does she suggest parties attempt to settle amicably. Pretends to fight only to yell and posture without facts or merit. When opposing party holds firm she caves (especially when assets are drained). Misses key details while focusing on emotional issues. This helps bill hours for all parties
