I would not recommend Jonathan Luz Lusher to anyone…read more I went with a friend to her appointment, and the entire experience was unprofessional and honestly shocking. She couldn't answer basic questions about the case and came across as completely unprepared. When we tried to get clarification, she became rude, raised her voice, and spoke to my friend in a disrespectful and dismissive way. At one point, she actually told my friend that if she wasn't going to blindly listen to her as the attorney and instead listen to me as a friend, then she couldn't help her. This is after my friend has already been working with her for over a year and a half. No client should be treated this way--especially when they are just asking for answers about their own case. Completely unacceptable behavior. I genuinely hope others avoid this experience. my friend hired her husband and got stuck with this unprofessional lady.

I really appreciated her integrity and professionalism. She contacted the other attorney and filled out all the legal paperwork. I never had to go to court.

I had Ms. Gubbles for my divorce and custody. She has the appearance of a solid Lawyer, and will…read moretell you what you want to hear until you stand before the judge and then it falls apart quickly. My ex-husband wanted 50% of our daughter's SSI ; If you know ANYTHING about SSI, it is federal law that you can NOT give SSI monies to ANY individual under ANY circumstances, including another parent, when you are your child's "Guarantor", or your child will lose their funds completely. Christy, was NOT prepared and lost my case to an appointed Commissioner on the bench. She looked at me and said "That's the way it is", when the Commisioner made the order. I then hired a different attorney, who turned that train around. Now there are laws in place that protect disabled individuals (children) from having their benefits play apart in divorce monies. SHAME on Christy. My experience: She doesn't NOT fight to protect your children. She doesn't fight to make sure the law and your rights are upheld. I believe she perhaps collaborates with opposing counsel to determine the outcome, without you knowing. She was not a good attorney in my case. This was my experience with Christy.

Mr. McHugh is a lawyer. Just not a very helpful one…read more Please consider the following questions before allowing Mr. McHugh to take your money and represent you. Would you like a lawyer that: Advocates for you? Communicates with you? Possesses a sense of urgency? Instills a sense of reassurance or partnership with you? Takes notes regarding your case and then actually refers to them in the future? Makes eye contact with you? Remembers your name? If you answer "Yes" to any of the above questions, then Mr. McHugh is not the lawyer for you. Instead, if you would like a lawyer that: Starts off your first consultation by saying: "I don't mean to insult your intelligence..." and then does exactly that. Makes you feel like a simpleton because YOU don't understand the law or the intricacies of the court. Requires continual hand-holding, follow-up, and prompting from you for any action to be taken on your behalf. Does not respond in a timely manner to your calls, voicemails, or emails. Simply forwards emails to you from the court or the opposing counsel with no explanatory comment or additional context. Forces the opposing counsel to write a hardcopy letter to your lawyer that starts with: "I have been trying to reach you. Please give me a call." Just to get a response and discuss terms. When confronted, admits that his communications with you have not been "up to par" and yet is no more proactive or transparent in future interactions. If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then congratulations! Mr. McHugh is your kind of lawyer. If you retain Mr. McHugh, expect to pay full price for less than full service. You will be left in the dark and then get billed for doing your own case management and communication. Mr. McHugh failed to put forth even the minimum expected effort for a retained attorney. At no time in handling my case did he proactively reach out to me with information, options, or communications to bring my case to a timely resolution. In every interaction it was up to me to initiate communication or prompt him to take action in contacting opposing counsel or continually remind him to ensure key elements I desired were included in the iterative drafts of court documents. The gut-wrenching process of a divorce or custody dispute is draining and comes at a high emotional cost. Paying for an attorney that is distant, disengaged, and unresponsive only compounds the cost. Had Mr. McHugh expended half the effort on my behalf that I spent on writing this online review, I would have avoided a great deal of unnecessary anxiety, stress, and fees. Save yourself the trouble, frustration, and headache of my experience. Keep searching and find a helpful and committed lawyer to represent you.

I'm very pleased to have retained her and stuck with her, that is not to say that there weren't times of frustration due to the speed at which the case moved, which might be a similar complaint found elsewhere in the reviews, but that has more to do with the nature of the legal system than with Crista's lack of commitment. Often times I would receive an email at 12:30 at night after she had been at the officer all day, she somehow found time to be both a mother and a dedicated professional. On a separate occasion she worked on my case during a recovery after surgery she was working, all of which is very impressive. If you hire her, I encourage patience, she is like a steam engine, she may appear slow at first but given time she works much faster delivering powerful persuasive arguments.

He helped me get out of a funk. I had made a stupid mistake, and he was assigned to me because I couldn't afford a lawyer. I am so lucky to have received helped from him of all people. Unfortunately, there was no way out of my case because of my actions, but YEARS later, I struggled to get a job and maintain a life because of my record. My newly assigned public defender wouldn't even pick up my calls, and when she finally did she said she couldn't help me. I had finished my probation, and I wanted to expunge my case. I was desperate and asked Attorney Williams. He kindly agreed to help me out. This consisted of multiple areas I needed help with. He guided me through the whole process of expungement, even confirming my documents before I showed up. We met at the courthouse, and he stood up for me. My case got dismissed, and I don't know what I would've done without him. He did this out of the kindness of his heart. He absolutely did NOT need to do this by obligation, but he helped me out. I appreciate you so much Attorney Williams! You would be foolish not to do business with him.

Ruined my life. I was once a young 13 year old girl who was being abused, my mother was a drug…read moreaddict my entire life, she didn't listen to me, she twisted my words, she did why SHE FELT was best instead of what was actually best. By 16 my mother was homeless, and that meant so was I, after a year on the street I became pregnant, now with no education, no stability, a baby on the way & no relationship with my father because of the long court process and the manipulation of the courts by my mother and Ms Vance herself. I was left alone and abandoned by the person who was framed "FIT" . I'm not 28 and I haven seen my mother in years , i've worked extremely hard to repair the damages in mine and my father's relationship, I'm a great mother, but a struggle with my own traumas, and I do feel like my trauma's were at the end of the court system and Miss Vance herself, I know you probably hear a lot from parents who feel like they were wrong by attorneys, but do you ever hear from the kids who were affected 15 years later and I'm still struggling, I still have nightmares, I've been through things that could've been avoided. Had my attorney been more involved and maybe listened more to what I had to say instead of what my mother had to say. I do not feel like the intentions behind what happened to me were good. I feel like they were done in bad faith. I don't believe that if I had of been placed with my dad that my life would be the way it is today. I feel like I was robbed of a childhood by the court system and by the attorney who is appointed to me, the people who are supposed to protect me and make sure I was OK when my mother did not.!!! miss Vance hope you know you have affected me as a child, and it has followed me into my adulthood in ways that cannot be fixed, I still think about you to this day and I will never forget your name. And that is not a good thing.
