I reached out to her after 11 years to request her representation for an expungement and now recently, for help gathering old documents I needed for my new position, and she went above and beyond. Even after over a decade, she remembered my case and took the time to track everything down quickly and thoroughly. I'm incredibly grateful for her continued support and professionalism. If you're looking for someone who's not only excellent at what they do but genuinely cares, she's the one you want in your corner for sure.

Mr. McHugh is a lawyer. Just not a very helpful one…read more Please consider the following questions before allowing Mr. McHugh to take your money and represent you. Would you like a lawyer that: Advocates for you? Communicates with you? Possesses a sense of urgency? Instills a sense of reassurance or partnership with you? Takes notes regarding your case and then actually refers to them in the future? Makes eye contact with you? Remembers your name? If you answer "Yes" to any of the above questions, then Mr. McHugh is not the lawyer for you. Instead, if you would like a lawyer that: Starts off your first consultation by saying: "I don't mean to insult your intelligence..." and then does exactly that. Makes you feel like a simpleton because YOU don't understand the law or the intricacies of the court. Requires continual hand-holding, follow-up, and prompting from you for any action to be taken on your behalf. Does not respond in a timely manner to your calls, voicemails, or emails. Simply forwards emails to you from the court or the opposing counsel with no explanatory comment or additional context. Forces the opposing counsel to write a hardcopy letter to your lawyer that starts with: "I have been trying to reach you. Please give me a call." Just to get a response and discuss terms. When confronted, admits that his communications with you have not been "up to par" and yet is no more proactive or transparent in future interactions. If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then congratulations! Mr. McHugh is your kind of lawyer. If you retain Mr. McHugh, expect to pay full price for less than full service. You will be left in the dark and then get billed for doing your own case management and communication. Mr. McHugh failed to put forth even the minimum expected effort for a retained attorney. At no time in handling my case did he proactively reach out to me with information, options, or communications to bring my case to a timely resolution. In every interaction it was up to me to initiate communication or prompt him to take action in contacting opposing counsel or continually remind him to ensure key elements I desired were included in the iterative drafts of court documents. The gut-wrenching process of a divorce or custody dispute is draining and comes at a high emotional cost. Paying for an attorney that is distant, disengaged, and unresponsive only compounds the cost. Had Mr. McHugh expended half the effort on my behalf that I spent on writing this online review, I would have avoided a great deal of unnecessary anxiety, stress, and fees. Save yourself the trouble, frustration, and headache of my experience. Keep searching and find a helpful and committed lawyer to represent you.

By 16 my mother was homeless, and that meant so was I, after a year on the street I became pregnant, now with no education, no stability, a baby on the way & no relationship with my father because of the long court process and the manipulation of the courts by my mother and Ms Vance herself. I was left alone and abandoned by the person who was framed "FIT" . I'm not 28 and I haven seen my mother in years , i've worked extremely hard to repair the damages in mine and my father's relationship, I'm a great mother, but a struggle with my own traumas, and I do feel like my trauma's were at the end of the court system and Miss Vance herself, I know you probably hear a lot from parents who feel like they were wrong by attorneys, but do you ever hear from the kids who were affected 15 years later and I'm still struggling, I still have nightmares, I've been through things that could've been avoided. Had my attorney been more involved and maybe listened more to what I had to say instead of what my mother had to say. I do not feel like the intentions behind what happened to me were good. I feel like they were done in bad faith. I don't believe that if I had of been placed with my dad that my life would be the way it is today. I feel like I was robbed of a childhood by the court system and by the attorney who is appointed to me, the people who are supposed to protect me and make sure I was OK when my mother did not.!!! miss Vance hope you know you have affected me as a child, and it has followed me into my adulthood in ways that cannot be fixed, I still think about you to this day and I will never forget your name. And that is not a good thing.

My ex-husband wanted 50% of our daughter's SSI ; If you know ANYTHING about SSI, it is federal law that you can NOT give SSI monies to ANY individual under ANY circumstances, including another parent, when you are your child's "Guarantor", or your child will lose their funds completely. Christy, was NOT prepared and lost my case to an appointed Commissioner on the bench. She looked at me and said "That's the way it is", when the Commisioner made the order. I then hired a different attorney, who turned that train around. Now there are laws in place that protect disabled individuals (children) from having their benefits play apart in divorce monies. SHAME on Christy. My experience: She doesn't NOT fight to protect your children. She doesn't fight to make sure the law and your rights are upheld. I believe she perhaps collaborates with opposing counsel to determine the outcome, without you knowing. She was not a good attorney in my case. This was my experience with Christy.

After my fiancé Ethan's motorcycle accident, we were facing an incredibly difficult and overwhelming situation. Ethan suffered a traumatic brain injury and numerous other injuries, and we had no idea what to expect moving forward. Sergio was amazing from day one, even looking into Ethan's case after business hours. He was compassionate, kind, extremely knowledgeable, and always on top of everything. He moved incredibly quickly, and our entire case was resolved from start to finish in about a month, which was beyond anything we expected. What meant the most to us was how genuinely Sergio cared about Ethan. He never made us feel like we were just another case. He checked in on him, listened to our concerns, and was always there when we needed him. He made a really difficult time so much easier for us. Sergio worked incredibly hard for Ethan, made sure things worked for him financially, and ultimately secured the full amount of the insurance policy. Sergio is seriously the best at what he does. He is fast, incredibly knowledgeable, genuine, and just an all-around awesome person. We are so grateful we had him in our corner and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Sergio, I truly cannot express how grateful we are. We are so thankful for you and everything you have done for Ethan and us. You made such a difficult situation so much less stressful, and we will always appreciate that.
