I'd like to give a shout out to Rachel Upshaw who came to my aid Christmas 2021 when I had an…read moreemergency order filed against me by a Crafty lawyer from across the river based on misinformation and outright lies without evidence to back it up. Mr "Crafty" filed it in such a carefully timed manner that I had about 24 hours to pull together a retainer or face having custody of my daughters stripped from me at Christmas. Since Rachel represented me with success in the divorce she contacted me immediately, otherwise I might not have known about the filing until it was too late. There have been incidents since that time, including some suspiciously neglectful behavior surrounding my daughters birthday, but I feel confident I am in safe hands and will continue to prevail. Thank you Rachel!

I retained this firm to represent me in a complicated personal and financial matter involving a…read moresettlement agreement. I paid a retainer of nearly $7,000 with the expectation that my interests would be strongly represented and that the matter would be handled accurately and efficiently. Service Requested: I needed legal representation to negotiate and enforce an agreement, particularly when the other party failed to meet agreed-upon payment deadlines. Although I fulfilled my obligations, payments were repeatedly late or missed. On several occasions, I was encouraged to allow additional time rather than immediately pursue enforcement. In my experience, this prolonged an already difficult situation and contributed to additional financial and legal expenses. Quality of Service: This was the most disappointing part of my experience. I frequently felt that I had to closely monitor the details myself. I spent many hours reviewing documents, organizing records, preparing information, and identifying errors that required correction. This included an error involving more than $25,000. While I understand that mistakes can happen, I expected a greater level of accuracy and attention to detail considering the seriousness of the matter. I also often felt that my interests were not being advocated for as strongly as I expected. Going through a difficult situation is stressful enough; having confidence in your legal representation is extremely important, and unfortunately, I did not consistently have that confidence. Value: Considering the nearly $7,000 retainer, additional legal fees, and the ultimate financial outcome, I do not feel I received the value I expected. I ultimately received approximately $40,000 less than the amount originally contemplated in the settlement and incurred significant additional expenses and interest during the delays. I was also presented with an additional bill of $2,625 that I disputed. I recognize that attorneys deserve to be compensated for their work, and I can only speak about my own experience. However, when considering the service I requested, the quality of the representation I experienced, and the overall cost, I was very disappointed. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I would not use this firm again or recommend it to family or friends.

I would not recommend working with Ms. Amonette. I cannot adequately express my disappointment…read morewith Ms. Amonette as an attorney. She was unreliable, extremely slow at responding, and at some points would completely ignore my e-mails even after several attempts to outreach. As an attorney with a $400/hr rate I found this completely unacceptable and frankly pathetic. She is nothing but kind and warm when accepting your initial $6000 retainer but after that her communication and everything else goes downhill. Whenever she did respond to my outreach she made sure to charge $40-100 for every little quick response she sent even though no traction was being made on my case. My ex and I decided to go to a neutral mediator who helped us out because we were so tired of paying money to lawyers to not feel like we were getting anywhere. After working with a mediator and getting all of our affairs buttoned up (parenting plan, child support, assets) signed sealed and delivered to her she still did absolutely nothing to move the case forward. I even received a call from the court in my county threatening to close the divorce case because they had been reaching out to Ms. Amonette and had not heard anything back from her despite the fact that she had all of the documents that we had to get prepared with the mediator in her possession for over 2 weeks. I finally made the decision to fire Ms. Amonette as I was done with the lack of communication and progress. When I sent the email terminating her services for once in my experience with her her response was prompt and I received the remainder of my retainer back early the next week. I used just a small portion of that retainer to hire a flat rate divorce attorney who had gotten the divorce finalized in less than 2 weeks of receiving the docs that my ex and I had already signed off on. I was furious that she had made it seem like there was so much left to do and I am confident that she would have dragged everything on to deplete my retainer for months. I believe that she is the quintessential money hungry lawyer and that her bread and butter are the big money cases and if you are a regular upper middle class client she will push you to the absolute bottom of the priority list. The mediator that I worked with told me that she just got another client of Ms. Amonette's who came to her just as frustrated as I did with the lack of communication and progress. I usually don't write reviews but I felt a deep obligation to women, especially moms who are thinking of hiring Ms. Amonette. When you are already trying to struggle to figure out what to do in the midst of all of the turmoil that divorce brings, the last thing you need is a divorce attorney like Kristen who will not only leave you confused about the process but will leave you penniless if she has the chance. If you're rich and just need someone to bulldog your ex you'll likely be fine, everybody else RUN.
