I seeked the help of this law firm to assist with completing a default judgement, the attorney sent me the to do list for $900 and sent me an email and never called back to advised me even of the email. He never called me back and did not complete the work. review submitted **** was the point of contact, paid him $900 to send me the to do list to how to finalize my divorce with a default judgement. **** promise to complete the paper work but he just took advantage of me and the fact that I needed this done, now not only my ex took advantage of me but also this law firm. I don't recommend this law firm unless you want to pay for a todo list on how to complete your filingsBusiness response

Business Response /* (1000, 8, 2022/06/09) */ **** retained us to finish a default judgment for $****. **** only paid $500 up front and was supposed to pay $500 the next month. **** didnt tell us that her kids were involved with DCFS and that she had a juvenile court case that removed the rights from one of her kids. **** also didnt tell us she didnt complete her preliminary declarations of disclosure and that her husband did not agree to the divorce, her custody demands or their property division. We went above the retainer and attempted to mediate their conflict and file a stipulation. Months went by with **** and the husband yelling at us and **** only making $30 payments. We had given **** the option of paying the balance or handling the case herself like most folks in her situation do. **** continued to make $30 payments over months of time totaling $900. After multiple phone calls of her and her husband yelling at us, we felt we had done everything we could do for them and finished the case by giving her all the default judgment paperwork completed and ready to sign and file. She simply had to sign and file and we provided clear instructions. **** never paid her balance and the scope of services was far beyond what we were retained for. We went above and beyond to mediate her divorce and were not able to get the parties to act like adults.
