WARNING; EXTREME UNPROFESSIONALISM! I had such a negative experience with Ann-Marie Okros and was…read moreforced into a position of having to replace her because she was just so unprofessional. From being late, unprepared, and unresponsive, to finally stealing $3,000 from me after she basically forced me to switch attorneys. After some research I see from other reviews that my experience isn't uncommon. When you're fighting for your children or going through divorce you really need someone that's gonna fight for you. Ann-Marie barely showed up for me. If you want more frustration during one of the most trying times of your life, hire her to get ripped and get robbed. I've added more below. PLEASE READ FOR YOUR SAKE. Note; I don't believe in writing a bad review unless it's absolutely necessary. This is unfortunately necessary. I'm keeping this as brief as possible which means I'll be leaving out a ton of details but you'll get the gist of it. My experience with Ann-Marie as my attorney is far from positive. I had used her in the past and almost fired her because of lack of communication and to be quite honest, she comes off as extremely lazy, very unorganized, and terribly unresponsive. The ONLY reason I used her for this last hearing was because I had a credit on file with her firm of over $2,000 and she was already retained for my custody stuff. We jumped into a new motion for custody against me and it was same old, same old. She doesn't return calls, doesn't respond to emails promptly if at all, and it's extremely frustrating. She blew through the $2,000 credit in just a couple weeks and her invoices are "reviewed emails and worked on case". How does one blow through $2,000 in pay by reading emails? She hasn't even responded to them so, what on earth? Regardless, this is a fight for my children and she knows enough of the details and enough about my divorce that I really don't think it's a good idea to try to switch attoneys so I'm gonna white knuckle it. That was a big mistake. Very first hearing before the judge she comes in 10 minutes late, speed walking down the court hallway, hair is a mess, she's holding a stack of papers literally 10" thick, her outfit in shambles, papers flying, and eyes filled with panic. I'm looking at her literally embarrassed that this is my representation. Then she sits down next to me nearly out of breath and starts hounding me for information. I've sent her a ton of emails giving every detail, every account, tons of evidence, character letters, everything needed and now she's hounding me for information, showing clearly she hasn't "reviewed emails and worked on case" like her invoice claims. Ugh... We lost in court and I lost my kids, against false accusations and zero evidence. Hang in there cause it gets worse. We set an FOC (Friend of Court) hearing with a referee and get this reversed. I start preparing for this hearing and Ann-Marie is showing me a few signs of hope by actually responding to emails and answering calls, not consistently but enough to keep me hanging on. She sent me another invoice for $3,000 and reluctantly I paid her. BAM! Instance silence. She's got my money and immediately becomes unresponsive. There are other reviews out there describing her the same way. Unfortunately I read those reviews AFTER all this. So she's got my $3,000 and I can't get a peep out of her. I'm in the fight of my life for my children and she's gone silent. I need to know we have a plan, and know she received my email with my evidence and witness list and documentation and pertinent information but no response. In a move of desperation I did some research and hired another attorney. Literally the day I hire the other attorney, Ann-Marie calls me. Complete shocker because I wasn't even sure she was still living. I told her I retained another attorney AND SHE COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD! She told me she was sorry for not responding to my attempts of communication and she understood why I hired another attorney. She ADMITTED she dropped the ball on my case. The honesty was appreciated, but it gets worse. She refuses to give me a refund! After her admittance of guilt you'd think she'd agree and refund my $3,000. NOTE: This was money paid IN ADVANCE. She didn't send me a bill for services rendered but she was going to draw off that $3,000. That's how attorneys work. They get paid in advance. SHE COMPLETELY REFUSES THE REFUND! Even now, my case isn't closed because there were some hang ups and my ex refuses to sign the agreement, so i've offered her a chance to work off some of the $3,000 and she refuses to respond. I was hoping to give her a chance to redeam herself but she continues to demonstrate a serious lack of integrity. COMPLETE WASTE. Get in touch if you want more details. Erik Emery 231-649-7744

Roland Sizemore was able to convince the prosecution that there weree so many contradictions and disparities in their case that they agreed to dismiss all charges against me. I am particularly grateful to him, Scott Bigger, Anthony Pappadakis, Michaell Taylor, and Candy Rogner for all their efforts to successfully end this difficult period of my life.

Rarely available when needed, emails and phone calls often left unattended for days, anger from staff if pushed to answer concerns, switched from case worker to case worker with little information to new case worker, use of money not detailed, placement in independent living community that is American Hell House for anyone under 80 with no major physical or mental disabilities, if one does or says anything one's actions are retaliated by this firm via hospitalization for "assessments" even though hospitalizations are considered by nurses and doctors as "completely unnecessary...normal reaction to loss of cat" in facility said to be pet friendly (mine died within 3 days). Left to sleep on floor for first month, got mattress 2nd and boxspring 3rd month even though in need of surgery on left shoulder - surgery was cancelled by them without telling me. No health insurance due to their incompetence, constant and differing excuses for not getting Medicare for me (I will be 67 in 5 months) thus everything medically necessary is being billed at highest cost which will soon put me into bankruptcy. Also lost my car due to lack of help with totally unnecessary bill for tires - son says he and they didn't want me to have a car anyway even though I had no difficulties in driving to usual places, got COVID and screamed at by residents with no staff available to deal with the situation, accidental head injury forced call to 911 as my cable bill had gone unpaid for months and was cut off leaving me with no way to get help (huge bill will include MRI and x-rays, ambulance there and ride back) while independent living is NOT independent, especially with no car. I've become a prisoner of these people, and the subpar senior living Hell House they placed me in, with absolutely no rights thus requiring the help of an attorney to get my life back. If all of this doesn't scare you and you really do not wish the best for yourself or really dislike a loved one, I would highly recommend this firm as retaliation expertise and incompetence should be listed in every form of advertising they use.

Denise has been a real lifesaver for me and my daughter. When my 10 year old daughter mother and I…read morebroke up I feared I would never be able to get sole custody of my daughter as she and I had hoped. My ex hired an attorney with a cutthroat reputation. Everyone told me that the best I could hope for was joint custody but Denise said she would try to achieve what my daughter and I wanted. So I hired Denise and she and her staff went to work on our behalf. They were professional and fair. Always there to answer any questions and to provide us with support. Not only were her fees fair but she delivered on what everyone said was impossible and obtained me sole physical and legal custody of my ten year daughter. I work as a high school counselor and I have seen the affects divorce can have on children and nothing can minimize this. But the work that Denise did for my daughter and I was nothing short of miraculous. My daughter and I will always be grateful for what Denise has done for us. To me she is not just and attorney but a miracle worker.
