They told us that Rebecca was assigned to represent us. A week later we were told she could not take our case because they have a policy of not sharing files between attorneys even though we told them earlier that we had used Dan as our previous attorney. I had not been happy with Dan but in order to get the divorce as quickly as possible I asked if he would represent us. I was told by the clerk that Dan was not interested. Instead, Rebecca referred us to another attorney. I checked and discovered that this attorney's license had been suspended several years ago due to a history of abuse and other issues.

I needed a divorce attorney asap and was referred to HLG…read more There was a lack of time and energy put into my case. I expected them to tell me step-by-step what I needed to do and they never gave me all the info/details I needed. Ex. - Before my hearing, they told me which documents were required by the court but failed to tell me there was a page limit. Also, I thought the first hearing would determine the custody/divorce. I didn't know I would wait months for the hearing that would determine everything. Bob handed my case over to Andrew without letting me know. Less time/attention was put into my case after the first hearing. I only got phone calls/emails from them when the court required something. There were numerous times that I had to call/email them to ask them to answer my first call/email after days of no response. I was charged the minimum time allotment (I think 20 mins) for them to read an email which asked them to respond to my first email. When a g.a.l. was appointed, I was mailed some paperwork and Bob said I didn't need to fill any of it out. Then after getting an email from the g.a.l. asking for paperwork, I looked through the papers and realized that I did need to fill it out. This was embarrassing and made me look bad. Andrew went with me to mediation. Most of the mediation was me just sitting there and Andrew chiming in every now and then. I didn't get the help and guidance that I paid so much for. I also got very mixed signals in terms of feeling like he was on my side and trying to protect me from the stuff my ex-husband and his attorney were trying to get away with. He pointed things out a few times that they had tried to sneak into the parenting plan and he said this isn't ok and needs to be changed. Other times he seemed indifferent/like he didn't care and was super quiet. By the time my court hearing came up I wanted to find a different attorney but felt like I didn't have enough time to do so. Due to all of the above, I made a decision that I will regret for the rest of my life and made a deal with my ex because I felt I had no other choice. After all of the paperwork was finalized and I was mailed copies of everything, I was told by Andrew that I could go ahead and change my name at any time. I went to the DOL to update my license only to find out that my copy of the paperwork WASN'T CERTIFIED and that I would need to come back with a certified copy. I had to call and ask that they send me one without charging me for it... When my bf picked up my trial retainer refund, Dena was super rude and unprofessional towards him and laughed at him when he was surprised the refund was only $300. She joked about it with the other office staff saying we thought we were going to get it all back. My bf corrected her and said no we didn't expect to get it all back but we expected more than that since we didn't go to trial. The next year, my ex moved with our kids out of the boundary that's listed in our parenting plan. I had to take him to court, so I found a new attorney. My new attorney was a MILLION times more helpful. She said if Helland had asked me for documents for dr./dentist visits for my kids showing that I took them to their appts. that it is a HUGE factor in determining custody. NO ONE AT HELLAND TOLD ME THIS/EVER MENTIONED IT! She ALSO said attorneys who nickel-and-dime people don't like those clients and most attorneys who have ethics/morals don't do this. Knowing that I easily could have gotten full custody (especially after going to court and seeing other custody cases where the mother was awarded full custody despite not working or had things that I thought were "negative" going against her) and HLG failed me/took my money is incredibly depressing. Helland Law Group has negatively affected me and my kids' lives for the rest of their adolescent years. I will regret the choices I felt forced to make due to their failure to properly help me for the rest of my life.

We found ourselves in what seemed to us to be a pretty complex accident that, without…read morerepresentation, would most certainly be bullied right into the ground by the insurance company. After reading reviews, weighing our options and (tbh) the proximity to our house we decided to have our first sit down with Karen at GSLF. It turned out to be the only law firm we would visit. Karen was professional, knowledgeable and very personable. Karen walked us through our options, explained the pros, cons and most likely outcomes with the foundations of the case we had brought. The fees and finances were transparent, fair and honest. Karen even set us up with a couple recommendations to pursue treatment for our injuries. After our visit the weight of the accident was literally lifted off our shoulders. All we had to do was worry about getting better. I couldn't have imagined a better outcome and to think we were thinking there was going to be numerous visits with lawyers. Karen kept us up to date every step of the way via email. We never questioned what was going on. Karen received a couple offers from the insurance company and asked us if she could decline them. This impressed us. She seemed to fight really hard for us. Our settlement was much more than we anticipated after researching 'like' cases. Update- To our surprise, in the middle of writing this review we received an email from Karen. She had kept fighting the insurance company and was not satisfied with what they were taking for subrogation. We had yet another check coming for she had saved us another thirty percent off our subrogation totals! We are in awe of the GSLF family, in particular Karen and all of the work they put into our case. We highly recommend the GREANY SCUDDER LAW FIRM FAMILY!
