My experience with Kyle was deeply disappointing and ultimately damaging…read more I retained Kyle from late 2017 through mid-2023 for a complex, high-conflict custody and child support matter. During this period, I was unemployed, facing a federal civil lawsuit by the FTC, and under an asset freeze. Despite repeated requests--documented in emails over multiple years--for Kyle to correct my temporary child support obligations using proper guideline calculations (which would have shown the mother owing me support), he failed to act. On his advice, I stipulated in early 2018 to pay $3,000/month "without prejudice," under the belief that we would later correct the figures retroactively. However, when the FTC filed suit and froze my assets in late 2018, Kyle refused to address support at our November 2018 hearing. He advised against pursuing the issue, despite my financial hardship and the mother's continued employment and higher income. His October 16, 2018 response to my concerns was: "I'd like to avoid all that at this point, if at all possible, as the cost is going to outweigh the benefit." In hindsight, this decision has been devastating. That temporary order--never corrected--ultimately led to an erroneous $109,000 arrears judgment based on numbers the mother submitted to DCSS on her FL-420 and FL-421 forms. These inflated figures were taken at face value, and I am still fighting to unwind them in court. DCSS now confirms the mother, who earns four times my income, should be paying me support. Yet I cannot receive it because of these "arrears" she is being reimbursed for--based on flawed, outdated data Kyle never challenged. I'm now forced to pursue a motion to vacate this judgment on my own, because Kyle refuses to assist in fixing this monumental error. In addition, I asked Kyle for years to seek a restraining order due to repeated abusive conduct by the mother toward me and the children. He declined to pursue it. After relieving him, I filed for a TRO on my own and was granted one that lasted 7 months--proving that my concerns were valid and should have been raised long before. I eventually decided to allow the DVRO to expire because the mother stipulated to quit acting in a list of abusive ways to the children and I. This review is hard to write, as I once viewed Kyle as a trusted advisor and even a friend. But I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on his services, and in the end, I was left unprotected and saddled with legal and financial burdens that could have been avoided. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend his representation. He is also ignoring me.

Thank you as well to Mindy, Rebecca, and Casey for always taking my calls and offering support during an incredibly stressful time. I highly recommend the Garwood Reeves team.

I initially spoke with Emma (who was great during call). I asked to contact me once the retainer…read morewas exhausted since I am a single mom and not sure if I would have money to continue being represented. She agreed and said, they would contact me and would add a note on the file. That was the only reason why I went with the firm. I felt there was a mutual understanding so i decided to hire Garwood Reeves to represent me. When the retainer was exhausted, no one contacted me, they just sent a bill saying I owed them $$ XX since the retainer was exhausted. Invoices included inaccuracies. - they billed me for "calls" that did not occur. I keep screenshots of all of the calls to record the date and time. - 3 minute calls turned into .5 or more of billable work - 5 minute calls turned into 1 hour billable work. and that rate is at least $450 per hour After months of not talking, they sent me 2 additional invoices for services which I was not aware they were performing. I explained we hadn't talked for months and they had told me months ago we were done. And to top it off, a year later, I self-represented. They got wind I re-opened the case. they sent me a bill for over $2,000 for services I never approved. I was not even aware they were providing services for me. They never called me to discuss the matter. I am baffled. Luckily, I had an email from one year ago asking them to stop billing me (after the 2 invoice) and stop providing services. I am hoping they remove the bill from 2025 because I had specifically stated to stop providing services in 2024. This feels unethical. In hindsight, I feel misled by Emma Slattery so that I can be represented by Garwood. I feel taken advantage of. Also by looking at the several reviews, I am starting to see a pattern i believe that this is typical practice to rack up the billing. Either she is doing this because she's gaining commissions or she is practicing based on the company leadership. But regardless, it is not good. Several phone conversations that I had with her are null and void. She does not recall that I verbally told her several times to stop providing services in 2024. And then in 2025 I told her at least two times that I was self representing. Never did she mention that her company was working on my case . To it resulting in me getting invoiced for over $2000 for services that I was never aware of. My understanding is that we were done with them representing me in 2024.

It felt unfair that I was expected to pay for a consultation just to understand the legal process of a divorce.

Working with this law team was equally as bad as dealing with my Ex. they take your money, Elyse will never speak up or talk back to your emails. My family spent over $30,000 in three months, and I got nowhere. The only advancement I had with the judge was once I fired Butler law and went in on my own. I feel Robbed by this "business". Think, "scummy, crime, steal your money lawyers" This is Them! I unfortunately found them. The documents and emails from Sara Doroaorth could have easily been quick written by Chat GPTin seconds, which were substituted for simple call-backs, just to charge more and more money. Fine....if you're winning. But I got my ass handed to me over and over in court with a "lawyer helping women" PUH-lease. My experience was anything but that in the end. The quality was just bad from this law firm. Absolutely no wins in seemingly an easy case, and lost custody of my daughter for 2 years after spending thousands of dollars to have them help me. Judge Leah Hausch did not like this law team, it was obvious. This law firm will hurt you more, in a sensitive situation, and they won't respond. And their responses and "defense" are just Bad. Judge clearly hated them, and gave my lawyer really no time at all. This is one of those instances where if I could give a Zero or negative stars, I would. And to be honest, the person that really upset me the most is Elise Butler, because when I reached out to her about my case, and my lawyer, as the owner of the law firm, I never got a response from her. I honestly don't even know if she exists. She never spoke back, never wrote me back. I think they were embarrassed by how bad they got their ass handed to them in court with my case, that should've been so easy.

What I felt was that every penny spend was worth it. Eric and his team helped me get through one of the most difficult parts of my life. Everything from the communications to the billing has been nothing but thorough and professional.

He didn't rush the conversation, didn't make me feel like "just another case," and took the time to walk through everything clearly and strategically. His communication is direct, honest, and extremely effective. He has a strong command of the law and knows how to apply it in a practical way that actually helps you move forward.
