Report
Called to get a second legal opinion, I spoke with a female on the phone. After asking multiple sensitive questions and giving her opinion to me, I ask a simple question, to which she said she did not know the answer. That sounded strange, so I asked if she was a lawyer, and she said no. Then she started to backtrack, saying that if I already have active representation I could not get a second opinion from their firm. As a non-attorney gatekeeper, you should not go asking unnecessary details. Simply ask straightforward basic questions and connect the caller to a lawyer, or state upfront that your

I used this law firm to establish my parental rights and get a shared parenting plan. My attorney was Rachel Gerecke the only tactic she uses is pandering to the lowest common denominator and she never actually tried to help me get custody of my child. She has no backbone. Thankfully the Gaurdian ad litem saw through both attorneys and the magistrate. Though Rachel did nothing but pad the books and have give her all sorts of personal information that she never presented in court she billed me for $22,000 in charges!These people a shameless Scammers! Be Aware I don't want anyone else falling

I have never seen an Attorney like Cara Santosuosso, always comment on how pathetic an Attorney she is, to always cover herself by not admitting how how horrific she really is. She RUINED our children's lives, by not doing her homework on which I furnished her with a ton of documented information via teachers, Dr's, psychiatric help etc, to show how horrible of a mother my ex was to our children. Instead she thought it would be in HER best interest to separate our 9 year old son & 10 year old daughter, 2'000 miles away from each other. "Temporarily ". It's now

This law firm carries one of the most clueless lawyers in Cleveland Jennifer Hanes. If she represents them they cannot be good. You are better off hitting a random person with a penny in the streets to represent you. Unorganized, a flat out liar, terrible in the court room. Every reason people don't trust and hate lawyers!

The lawyer I got didn't do as I asked, kept ignoring me. Then supposedly did all this "work" which was basically her padding the books so I would have to pay her more. Then I never received the bills so they charged me an extra 5% on my bill which was over $2300 for a simple dissolution of a marriage. No kids, no assets to split just sign on the dotted line. The she didn't even show up for court but sent someone else instead. The billing lady is the MOM and every time I tried to settle bills before she couldn't figure out the computer system. Probably another reason I got
