I cannot say enough good things about O'Connor Family Law and Heather O'Connor. I had a…read moreconsultation with Heather prior to a hearing for an extension of a restraining order, and she was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we spoke, Heather was calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring during what was a very stressful and emotional time. She walked me through exactly what to expect in court, helped me understand how to respond to questions, how to present my evidence clearly and confidently, and what language would be most effective. Her guidance gave me clarity and confidence which was exactly what I needed. What stood out most was how supportive and empowering she was -- not just legally sharp, but genuinely compassionate. I left the consult feeling prepared, grounded, and far less anxious. If you are navigating a difficult family law matter and want an attorney who is both highly skilled and truly supportive, I would recommend Heather O'Connor without hesitation.

So this "company" will bait and switch you. You call them they set you up with a person who does…read morethe psychological mind game. They listen to everything you have to whinge about your ex the money the children how it's not fair blah blah blah. They will tell you oh don't worry we'll make it all better. They tell you that you need to pay them this much to start. They'll set you up with an attorney. Then the next person that calls you is the person who handles money. She does all the billings and collections her starts with A. She will make sure you pay. She will not tell you that every month that you are a client with them. They will charge you with a maintenance fee for keeping the accounting.. And so when a month of service goes by they charge you and they start with the accruing of interest on your account and each time there is an interaction with your attorney. It starts a whole other cycle of interest accruing on your account. Not just for the total of the account the whole of the account, each separate line item each separate call starts an accruing interest on its own.They set you up with an attorney. They put me with a guy who was brand new to the firm. When I called and looked him up and tried to do my due diligence about him I called the previous law office He worked at and they declined to say anything about him leaving there. And I know why. Because he was the laziest attorney I ever had in my life. I have paid people thousands of dollars I've had four or five attorneys. This guy was the worst. He slept through alarms. He didn't show up to zoom meetings for the court. it was utterly embarrassing. He was late on our first meeting and just continued to be terrible. I would go to meet him to drop off files. I'll be sitting around waiting for 45 minutes to an hour. He was very likely sleeping in his apartment. He was the worst. His name also starts with A. He basically just did paperwork for me and settled things. When I had a contempt, he let the other party run all over me and would say, well if we take it to a trial, it's gonna cost you more money. No that's what I want. I want you to work for me. I want you to be tough. I don't want you having two hour conversations with the other parties attorney as your brothership of lawyers does. He's our enemy and that was very unclear to him for some reason. They are the enemy. Treat them as such. They do not. They're only out to line their pockets. That is the bottom line. I got nothing at all from this law firm, and the end I I ended the relationship. I said I do not need you any longer. And I owed them money , I don't know say like $6000 after I had paid them over $10,000. I was just done because I can fight my own battles for free. Because they weren't doing anything but filling in the blanks on pre-filled forms. I can have a judge tell me no without paying someone else to do it. And that's basically how it was with them. At the end with the balance of what I had every single line item from each email, conversation, monthly admin fee and each motion was accruing interest at a different rate so when you think you owe them 6000 within three days, it's a hundred more. By the time I settled this account with them I owed them about $7500. And $1500 was in interest. And I told them flat out I didn't have it all. They were going to take me to collections. I literally took out a personal loan. Because I couldn't even stand to deal with them any longer. It was like having a monkey on my back. Someone calling emailing being generally harassing. And then you see on social media, the firm owner on her boat, giving away gift certificates sending edible arrangements (which likely she owns ) basically promoting herself all over the place, but in truth her people do little more than take money from you and keep very close track of what you owe them for their fees. There she is looking like she's a good guy, Oooo! get a gift certificate! It's not worth it, Don't be fooled. So anyway, they knocked off most of the interest. But I do not suggest you get tied up with them at all. Because they have a person to collect, they have a person to to get you on board and They have a person who if you are having conflict with your attorney or you need resolution or someone to talk you down they have a person for that too. It's a nickel and dime scheme. Don't go with them. Find a long established, honest, accomplished, trustworthy and proven office and go with them. Everything I have said here is absolutely true. I don't even need to hear from this law firm. I don't need to hear that they did the best they could. I'm sorry it was time for me to finally say how awful I was treated and how terrible and lazy my attorney was. I did say it to them. And that's my word. Thank you for nothing.
