"Do not hire, very bad service These lawyers only know how to ask for money. I hired them for joint custody, and they couldn't even make a court date. I spent around 10 thousand dollars, and they only filled out paperwork and nothing else. When I complained that I was spending too much money and wasn't seeing any progress in my case, they closed the case and told me to pursue it myself. I feel scammed. I spent around 10 thousand dollars, and they didn't resolve anything. We are currently pursuing my case on my own, and I am still fighting to get joint custody because these lawyers only took money from me and didn't do their job... Do not hire."
