When I gave her the check, she said "tonight, I will review your case sitting in my bed, relaxing." This was 12 hours before the trial. She was ill-prepared, although the judge liked her. This goes to show that you cannot rely on an attorney's reputation, nor the case appointed psychologist who referred me to Ms. Rhyne (which was unethical, as I already had an attorney that was well respected) - the power of persuasion). Karen Rhyne took all kinds of money from me, which I needed to feed my kids. I do not recommend this attorney. She did not do her job properly, and she intimidated me for upfront money even before she did any work whatsoever.

Review for Attorney Ashley Montenegro…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience with Ashley Montenegro was extremely negative -- she was demanding, rude, aggressive, and downright threatening. I was referred to her as a minor's counsel and told it would be around $2,000 and the "fastest, best option." When I finally spoke with her, she informed me it would actually be a minimum $5,000 retainer, could take 6-8 months, and might end up costing $10-15k. I told her clearly that I could not afford that and did not want to proceed. I never signed a contract, only had two brief email exchanges and one short phone conversation, and even my attorney informed her we would not be using her. We would be working on an agreement with my daughter's mom through our own lawyers. Despite that, I suddenly received a bill for about $350 for "services" she never performed. Things only got worse. She began calling me repeatedly, demanding payment, insisting she was my attorney (which she was not), and saying I had to use her. A month later, I received another outrageous bill for over $1,200 with bogus charges like "reviewing emails" and "placing calls." She then started threatening to take this to the judge, attach it to my child support, and force me to pay through the court. Completely unacceptable and beyond unprofessional. It is clear her only priority is padding her own pockets, not helping families or children. Please reconsider before hiring her -- there are far better, more ethical attorneys out there who will actually have your best interests in mind.

While needing an attorney is not always a good thing, I was forced into it with my divorce. Carly…read morewas recommended to me through another friend who described Carly as a "bulldog" which is exactly what I wanted to hear going into my process. Luckily for me, I did not need the bulldog to come out, but Carly was very helpful throughout my entire divorce process. Carly was very communicative, I always knew what was going on in the process even when there were down times and nothing to report. I was upfront with Carly with what I wanted out of my divorce and she understood that my ex and I were trying to negotiate things on the side in order to bring them to the table. Carly made it feel very much that she worked for me which made me feel good. Unlike my ex who had an attorney that told her nothing and had to learn updates through me. The hardest part for anyone, is typically the bill associated with having an attorney. While the bill seemed steep to me, I paid less in attorney fees than my ex, and as they say..... "it's worth it"! If I am unlucky again and find myself in divorce court and needing an attorney, I will absolutely use Carly and her team again.
