We had an appointment for 3 PM today for a call with me and my daughter. Not only did we not get the phone call but we also got no response to several emails, to follow up texts, and a voicemail In fact, you did not call me back until I expressed my extreme displeasure to a receptionist and demanded to speak with a partner. Clearly, you are not interested in taking on this case with the rigor that you assured us you were capable of before you got our check. When you finally did call us back, it was clear that you had never followed up with the property manager regarding a legal claim for us to vacate the house. In exactly 2 sentences, you said "well if they do have the paperwork you're out." This is not the discussion we had several weeks ago. It is clear that you are either not interested in your promised vigorous representation or you are in over your head. What you have done for us is you have lost us valuable weeks in which we could have retained a more qualified and capable attorney. In short, you did worse than nothing and have made our situation more dire. I expect a call from a senior partner today.

After this, I was assigned to another attorney within the firm. The representation itself was fine, but I did feel that there was unneeded back-and-forth at times, with each message being billed at a rate of 6 minutes, it all adds up. The tipping point was when I emailed asking if we could reach out to the other party's representation and also asked if there were any strategies to move toward a resolution. I received a response stating "It is good to hear from you. It probably makes sense for you to reach out to [other party regarding my question] and the need to reach a resolution. If you are able to reach an agreement, then we can help you to memorialize its terms." I was surprised when I was charged for this, and when I asked if I was being charged, I was ignored. Finally, when I asked to end my relationship with the firm and requested a refund of my retainer, the amount billed for the aforementioned email response was deducted. While it was only ~$40, my question was not even answered. I was offered a 15 minute consultation at a later time, but since I'm no longer a client, asked if that was something I would even be able to use. A week later and I have not received a response. I would be cautious of this firm if your situation is not cut and dry and to whom you are assigned. In my experience, Soo Keithley is fantastic, but others may leave you wanting for more.

Let's just say I have experience now with other divorce attorneys in the area, and it's worth your time to keep looking because you can do much better. A lot of the other posters' negative experiences with Soo and her firm are very familiar and similar to my own. In my opinion, professionalism is a huge issue with this firm. Ultimately and I cannot emphasize this enough -- this firm became just as, if not more, stressful to deal with than the high conflict divorce I was embroiled in. And that is not a feeling you want with your attorney who is supposed to advocate for your interests.
