I have heard good things about this lawyer, so I choose her to handle my divorce. I am VERY…read moredisappointed in her performance as such. She did not listen to anything I wanted, there was a 17 year old minor who would be 18 when it was final, I told her I wanted no child support, and that my now ex-husband had no hidden money, I knew this, he was not the type to save anything, nor did he pay bills which is what lead to our divorce. He was not paying for an atty, there fore she was the only atty. According to state law he had days to respond with an atty to my filling for divorce, or else for the most part I got what I wanted as a non-contested divorce. I told her at our initial meeting that he was not going to hire one, and heres what I wanted - OUT, just out, no child support, no alimony, I wanted NOTHING except he pay all the bills he had generated in his name and I will pay mine. So she sent him his notice by mail which I told her not to, he will not open it, and there will be no proof that he got it, but she did anyway. when he did not respond, she sent him a summons to appear in court the court date was 4 months from the initial letter - 90 days after I could have had my divorce by default, but I guess that doesn't generate her enough money? Appearently neither does a simple divorce. Long story short by the time it was all said and done, she charged me over $100 for a finacial questionaire to him that I told her was no point in doing so, and when he gave it back to her 1/2 completed and said he didn't unserstand all the questions she stuffed it in her bag and said it was no problem, she wouldn't need it anyway. She tried to charge me for 5 hours in the court house of her time for the day he didn't even show up to court, and said it was a "mistake" really, who decided that even if he did appear ti took 5 hours??? In the end I hires another atty to complete her job, it took him 1 day to complete it, I had to pay the same deposit I had to pay her, but you know what - it was worth every last penny I gave him. At this point she was listening to everything the now ex-huisband was telling her, then coming back to me and saying, he says that its this and not that, is this what "you" want? She already knew what i wanted, and of course he is going to lie, duh. But i was the one being charged for all of the when it was a simple easy, in and out divorce that should have been completed in 30 days now took 6 months

We had Attorney Cross as a GAL. I won't be leaving the details of everything he did. There's too…read moremany to list. My experience. If you are a bigger man, athlete, or didn't go to college, Rob won't give you a chance. Before he met me in person, he told me he would do certain things. After he met me he changed. He also bullied me in every email (no matter what it was about). His mind was made up the minute he saw me and it was obvious to me. In the 14 months we had Rob, there were 2 times I accidentally emailed him from my wife's account. (We're married so we have access to each others things on our phones). Both times he questioned my Attorney asking if my wife was the one emailing him. Meanwhile, the opposing party's mom sent emails or was CCed in them, and he didn't question her. (Even though I had an OP on her for my son about 5 years ago.) Rob believed things about me without proof, and no matter what I showed him he refused to take it into consideration. The opposing side never had proof based off of their accusations. Even days later when I was negotiating paying child support on an online portal with my child's mothers attorney, and he had already given his recommendation, he was chiming in saying he didn't see why I needed to pay that way. This is just one of the smaller things that he did consistently to draw a wedge between my sons mother and myself. When I called his office to make a complaint, they told him and he emailed My Attorney fishing for details. Inappropriate. Ultimately, Rob claimed that when my sons grandma took him in to his office, my 9 year-old son told him that he wanted to be with me every other weekend, but Rob told me that my wife would be allowed to bring my son in, to see if he would give a different answer than what he gave when his grandma brought him in. Rob never allowed that to happen. I know that if someone from my family would've brought my son in to see Rob my son would've said he wants 50-50, because that's what he says to me almost every time he sees me. He brings this up constantly. My child knows that the other side of his family doesn't like me so of course if his grandma is bringing him in, he's not going to say anything different than what they want him to say. (And At our settlement meeting in March, my sons mother admitted that she had been telling our child she wanted him to be with me every other weekend. She admitted she was coaching him.) As a GAL, Rob should've taken this into consideration, but instead, he brushed under the rug. (Just like all of the issues my son told him about when I brought him in to see Rob) Over the last 3 years, I rearranged my life entirely to have my son 50-50. The opposing party would say I wasn't stable because I rented instead of owning, so I bought a house less than 1 mile from her. She would say I didn't have a good enough job (because I was the heavy weight MMA fighter for team USA so I trained constantly) so I quit that and I got on with the union. (Which has free health insurance for my son and has better coverage than hers, but Rob still recommended her insurance). Overall I did get more time with my son because I have more frequent visits due to the midweek visit that's been implemented, but I should have been given way more. I don't regret buying a house or quitting fighting. I ended up with a great career and home, and I know I did everything I could for my son. That gives me peace. My son missing out on proper time with me is Rob's cross to bear. I am not mad or bitter. I just don't want what happened to my son to happen to anyone else. We had Rob for 14 months and he met with my son 3 times. Twice in March 2022 and once in September 2022. He gave his recommendation off of the September meeting when the grandma brought my son in. He built no rapport in only 3 meetings and didn't try to see if my son would give a different answer by having someone from my family bring him in. In the end, I decided to turn Mr. Cross into the ARDC to report him after the case was over. I quickly learned the ARDC could not do an investigation on him though because they could not legally do an investigation Based on a report from someone that was never technically that attorneys client. If you look at his Google reviews, you will see that I'm not the only person that feels this way. If you're looking for a fair attorney, look elsewhere. This isn't even the worst of what I know of Rob.
