Researching divorce attorneys in the Bellingham area for my sister and gave Roy a call. We talked…read morefor a few minutes letting him know it was not a contested divorce and both parties were in agreement. He also mentioned he could go to court if need be. Then made it seem as if he could review all her paperwork so she could finally file. So we decided to do the 2 hour consultation which wasn't even two hours. Roy wasted our time and money. He used bait and switch telling me he'd go to court if necessary then telling my sister he doesn't go to court anymore. Also we told him some of the respondents income paperwork wasn't completed and should hold off on the consultation but he insisted on my sister coming in only to say he couldn't do anything because of the missing income declaration. Please do yourself a favor and don't throw your money away by going to Roy!

After prepaying a…read morehefty upfront fee, Mr. Martin wasted my time by refusing to look at draft I put together that outlined my goals, asked me unrelated questions, wouldn't let me talk, then told me he would not draft up the document unless I agreed to have my fiance use an attorney in his network to review it with her. I told him my fiance would use her own attorney and then showed me the door! I told him I wanted my deposit back and he threatened to sue me if I canceled the check. Unbelievable. Do not use this attorney for any legal work. If you do, you will be sorry.

I think it's important to point out that Yelp is not the place to look for a lawyer. Choosing the…read moreright lawyer to represent you is a complex and very individualized experience.

It was a one * star review but I am upgrading it based on her responsiveness lately.
