This is my experience and is true, it happened so long ago that I couldn't get any benefit other than prevent this to happen to other people. I hired Roderick Marx for my divorce 10 years ago (I don't remember if he was part of this firm yet or not); back in those days, internet reviews were not as common as they're today and that's one of the reason (but not the only one) I decided to do it after all these years. I hired him because his ad said flat fee for "uncontested" divorce and it was cheap. I met with them probably a couple of times only, and he just asked me few questions regarding kids custody, child support and properties...I thought lawyers were supposed to advise the best option for HIS client but he didn't suggested anything or made any recommendations, he just filled up the papers according to my "yes" or "no" answers, few weeks later...when it was the court date, an assistant showed up (which I understand) and the process was over easily because my ex- didn't showed up either, so I was granted my divorce. Few years later I had a child visitation issues, and had to hire another attorney...when I showed her the divorce order, she was surprised when she saw I was paying child support even though my kids lived with me 50% of the time and we had shared custody, she told me I shouldn't been paying but since my ex- was having tough times I decided to keep doing it...now today I went to ask the child support office what I needed to modify my order because 2 of my kids are now 20 and 18 and the youngest one is now living with me full time, they told me I needed to re-open the case but when I asked if at least I could reduce the child support since my 2 kids are old enough, they told me I need to keep paying the same amount until my youngest is 18 or the court order is modified!!! They told me the way the divorce papers were written does NOT specify a reduction of the child support every time a kid becomes adult, is the same no matter what until the youngest is 18!!! What kind of attorney does that for HIS client??? So not only I WASN'T supposed to pay ANY child support all these years but now I found out I'm stuck paying for 2 adults and a kid that lives with me unfairly until I modify the order again. As you can see, he never worked on my behalf (even though I hired him), for him I was just another easy "money order". Be aware of the cheap attorney's fees, in the long run...it could be more expensive.
Professional staff always helpful and responsive and works in a very timely mannor would highly recommend these attorneys!
So I hired this company back in 2007, my divorce went great. I had to hire them again a few months back. I have to say I am very disappointed with Richard Johnson because he will tell you exactly what you want to hear just to get your business and then when you are handed over to another attorney you get the "real story". All in all Max Lisle is AMAZING, he didn't sugar coat it , he got me what I wanted for the temporary order. The only complaint I have for this company is the sugar coating from Johnson and the time it takes to respond back. That's why I gave them a 4
Wonderfully informative on the topic of divorce. I look forward to achieving my divorce with your help.
I was recommended by a friend to use this firm. Aaron Benter went above and beyond to get my divorce complete. When I had questions, she promptly responded to me and answered all of my questions. They got it done within four months. And Mr. Richard Johnson, who I met with first, made me feel comfortable and answered and told me everything I needed to know. They are very affordable and work with you on payments. I would definitely recommend this firm!!
