This so-called law firm promised me a case back in March 2025, and now it's September... still nothing. I've called, left messages, and they ghosted me like a bad Tinder date. At this point, I could probably write a trilogy with all the voicemails they've ignored. Professionalism? Nonexistent. Communication? What a joke. Decency? Apparently extinct. If disappearing acts and ghosting clients were an Olympic event, this firm wouldn't just sweep the podium--they'd vanish before accepting their medals, leaving only empty suits behind. Promises were made, updates never given, and clients like me were treated like invisible obstacles in their apparently thrilling hobby of avoidance. I learned my lesson the hard way; now it's your turn: save your time, your sanity, and your hope for justice--find a real lawyer who actually answers the phone. These clowns in suits are not worth a single second of your time.

This review reflects my personal opinion and recollection of my experience working with this…read moreattorney. It is intended to share my honest perspective, as is my right under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the Consumer Review Fairness Act (CRFA). Readers should conduct their own research, form their own opinions, and proceed accordingly when choosing legal representation. My overall experience with this attorney did not meet my expectations. Unfortunately, I did not achieve the objectives I had hoped for, and my situation worsened during the course of representation. My case took a significant amount of time to get filed, and communication with the attorney was challenging. During our three in-person meetings, no clear goals or deadlines were established. As a result, my family and I faced serious consequences, including the risk of foreclosure on our home, the repossession of my truck, and significant emotional distress. An emergency bankruptcy was filed only after my truck was repossessed, which left me unable to earn income. This, in turn, affected my ability to make Chapter 13 payments, leading to the dismissal of my case despite my efforts to secure employment. I was not notified when my case was closed and only learned about it through a letter from the court and a different attorney who informed me that my mother's home was at risk of being sold by the bank. I found the lack of communication and clarity regarding my case deeply frustrating. In my opinion, the attorney abandoned my case and has not responded to my attempts to seek clarification or answers about the court correspondence I have received. While I acknowledge that my financial difficulties are ultimately my responsibility, I sought this attorney's help in good faith to navigate my circumstances. I had hoped for more proactive communication and exploration of alternative options, such as filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which might have better addressed my situation. My mother also had a case with this attorney, which was similarly discontinued. However, in her case, the attorney made an effort to notify her and connect her with a different attorney. It remains unclear to us why her case was not pursued further. I want to emphasize that my experience with the attorney's paralegals was excellent. Carmen, in particular, went above and beyond to assist me and was consistently available to address my concerns. I greatly appreciate her efforts and professionalism. Based on my experience, I would not work with this attorney again. However, I encourage others to conduct their own research and make their own decisions when selecting legal representation. Edit: To retaliate is to return a harmful action with another harmful one, often in an attempt to get revenge or "even the score". Some examples include throwing a rock after being hit with one, a manager firing an employee for filing a complaint, or a country imposing tariffs after another country imposes them. Writing a fair and honest account of my experience with any business is a Constitutionally protected right. The implication that my review is retaliation in and of itself suggests that harm was somehow done to me first, so what exactly is being said here? It is categorically false and I can assure that my fair and honest review was posted simply to share my experiences with this attorney as many other people have done. It's not irregular or retaliatory for customers to review their experiences. It's part of a healthy open market system that promotes transparency and helps others make informed decisions. The personal attacks posted in response to my review are shocking and unacceptable. Revealing private information about my case is highly concerning because it violates the duty of confidentiality. This duty is protected by strict professional rules. The narrative presented in the comments is missing context and for the most part untrue.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. This firm is greedy and predatory…read more LAUREN BOCIAGA is the lawyer I worked with. Last year, I called the firm hoping to find a lawyer who would have my best interest at heart. The firm had quite a few good reviews online so I gave their firm a chance. During the consultation, she assured me she would be able to help me and guide me throughout the process. I paid $4,000 for the retainer and in just ONE MONTH Lauren had used up the entire retainer. Naturally, the firm required that I pay another $4,000 during the second month of my divorce process. Being that this is my first and hopefully my only divorce, I was not completely knowledgeable on how everything worked which is why I was hoping Lauren would be able to communicate things clearly with me and update me about the process. Little did I know every single simple text containing a question or two from me or a quick email, I was being charged for which is what was actually using up the money I deposited along with her arguing back and forth with the other party's lawyer. I have been completely vulnerable and honest about my situation to Lauren and yet I felt completely taken advantage of because instead of handling my divorce considering my budget and situation she completely disregarded my goals, instead kept utilizing her time charging me for things that did not accomplish any progress in the divorce. She kept going back and forth with the other party's lawyer when I have clearly explained I know they were doing that on purpose to waste my money and she still did not stop. I was obviously still being charged every time she would argue with my ex's lawyer. I have been frustrated with her service since I have had to ask her several times if there were other options to handle this divorce in a way that would be the most cost effective but aggressive. She then explained that it is impossible to have a divorce be cost effective and aggressive at the same time since the latter requires more money. I had to consult other lawyers while she was still my lawyer to truly find out if there was absolutely no other option for me. When I finally spoke to her about other options I've heard, that was the only time she actually agreed there were other options available. Unfortunately I had to cut ties because their service was becoming too expensive requiring the retainer fee of $4000 every month. I had to practically beg the finance department/person to work with my budget before they even considered allowing me to pay monthly instead of one lump sum payment. Months later when I was able to finally recover financially and hire a lawyer. My lawyer informed me that Lauren, failed to file one of the most important documents (FL-141) in the beginning of my divorce. After everything I was charged it was extremely difficult for me to fathom how that document did not get filed when I was charged for everything else so truly if anyone thinks about it what the hell was she even doing that whole time? When I tried to get a hold of her to find out why she would neglect filing a simple but important document she was extremely difficult to communicate with because after a couple of texts, she ignored my messages. She insisted (in an email later on that the office was closed from September 1-4) but I contacted her the Thursday BEFORE THEIR OFFICE CLOSED FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND during business hours too. I even waited until Tuesday (the day after Labor Day) to contact her again being that their office was already open but STILL NO RESPONSE FROM HER when I'm sure at this point she's already seen my messages. She did not even acknowledge receipt of my messages with a simple message informing me she will respond when she can. COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL It wasn't until I called her several times that she finally had the decency to respond but not without letting me know I was bothering her because she was in a meeting. In an email she later sent to me she basically blamed me for the reason why she did not file the document because I apparently did not complete it yet she never mentioned that or even reminded me that I had to complete the document in order to move forward with the divorce. WHAT KIND OF PROFESSIONAL TRULY BLAMES THE CLIENT WHO HAS NO KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE ON THE MATTER ABOUT FAILING TO COMPLETE A DOCUMENT WHEN IT SHOULD BE THE LAWYER'S JOB TO INFORM THE CLIENT? To my knowledge I have already completely filled out the documents and even submitted all my statements how was I supposed to know there was something else I needed to fill out when I was not informed? But of course I should have known I was not going to get a genuine answer from a predatory lawyer who is only after the money.

Too many lawyer bills...trying to get the hang of living alone again and good god, so many other costs that came with the custody issues - monitors, therapists, the whole nine yards. This year was the very first year that felt normal to me and it had everything to do with VICKI. She handled my case last year so swiftly for me. If I remember correctly, altogether it was less than three months and it wasn't something that required daily thought-process for me, so that three months was relatively painless (that was NEVER my experience dealing with divorce/custody lawyers). Vicki is the ONLY one I've worked with who is honestly a class above - MANY classes above. She's the ONLY one that won't try to rob you blind and then ask you to sign a release (before your case is even final) after they've squeezed every cent out of you, knowing they can't get any more. She has enabled me to get myself organized again. This has been the first year in seven years that I have been able to buy something for my coworkers for Christmas. I know that sounds menial, but it feels so good to just be normal again.
