NO STARS. Amy Smith and her sidekick. Jill are some of the most incompetent attorneys we have ever…read morehad the misfortune of dealing with. They will first of all rob you blind financially. Second of all, they are so amateur in all of their communication and responses and they are always passing the buck instead of actually giving legal advice and steering the ship. Do not hire them under any circumstances. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Absolutely the worst attorney experience I have every encountered. I was unfortunate that I had to…read morehire Amy since my other attorney was on vacation and I needed a matter handled within a time restraint. I wanted a "Super Lawyer" I got the "Worst Lawyer". I signed a retainer for a motion and gave her the retainer of $2,500.00. The retainer agreement states that they will inform me when the retainer runs out and they will notify you when it does. I was notified alright, after the retainer ran out and after I was billed an additional $5,400.00, for a total of $8,000.00, yes, you read that right. Mind you, I wrote the majority of my motion and cross motion. She just rewrote it with revisions and went to oral argument. After reconciling the bills there were about $900.00 in charges just for phone calls. Phone calls I was asked to call them back to answer questions they had. In the last 9 years of my divorce I had roughly 20 motions and I have never paid more than $2,500.00 for a motion including oral argument with my other attorney's. Amy and I discussed an appeal after the poor outcome and results. She told me it would be between $10,000.00-$15,000.00. We are talking about a basic issue and appeal. The last appeal I had with my prior attorney that was on vacation was $5,000.00 and more complex. I trusted Amy's initial advice not to combine both issues I had in the motion because she thought the judge would have gotten confused. That was a big mistake and a juvenile move. The judge was furious that approximately 30 days later we were back in court and should of addressed the other issue at the same time. I could of done the same job if not better representing myself with the outcome she achieved. I thought an attorney would have guided me in the right direction. I thought wrong. I would not recommend her for any type of representation especially oral argument unless you like to be embarrassed while being overcharged. Their slogan compassion, guidance and resolution should be changed by adding no to each one. I forgot to mention they filed a civil case against me for the balance. I should of fought it but dealing with family law is hard enough. We Settled.

We reached out, during the initially process they were accommodating and showed disingenuous concern to get us to sign. We did. After we signed , the communication stopped. Everything that was asked of me, even things that wern't, I sent in a timely manner (with timestamps) after laying in a hospital bed for weeks, the empathy was so comforting from this lawfirm................. We began working with Karl then never heard from him again and spoke with Dansk... to which information was clearly not communicated between the two. Danshit would state he did not receive certain information that was already sent to Karl. He was so nasty to me on the phone, I was schocked of the unmitigated fucking gaul to talk to someone in such an ..unsafe way.. He was rude, has an air about himself that is white and entitled. He switched tones when speaking to my mother although not his client. I'm 30, there is no need to speak with her. We found that to be very telling of his poor character. I called and asked his firm for a mere response, days he said he would call, he wouldn't. He got an attitude because as I client I wanted updates. Very nasty demeanor, Michael Dansky. The reviews are fake on their website of course. Go where you're taken care of, these guys aren't it. Pictures to follow.
