I hired Bell Law Firm expecting a high level of professionalism, preparation, and aggressive…read morerepresentation--especially with over a year and a half to prepare for trial. Unfortunately, that's not what I received. While the attorneys knew all the right things to say, talk alone isn't enough. In this case, talk was very expensive, and actions simply didn't align with the promises. Trial preparation felt rushed and incomplete, despite having more than adequate time. The lack of assertiveness and execution was especially disappointing given the nature and importance of the case. If you're looking for a law firm that will truly advocate for you with preparation, follow-through, and action--not just words--I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

I had a very disappointing initial consultation experience with Barbara and ultimately decided that…read morethis firm was not the right fit for me. I found the firm through my MetLife Legal Plan and scheduled a 12:00 p.m. consultation. I arrived shortly after noon. The receptionist was assisting someone with a payment over the phone, which I completely understood. I was checked into their queue around 12:10 and was then asked to complete an intake form for Barbara. I completed it, placed it on the receptionist's desk, and waited. As it approached 12:30, I asked whether Barbara would be much longer since my appointment had been scheduled for noon. When Barbara came out, rather than simply acknowledging the delay, she immediately told me that I had arrived late and had just finished my paperwork. I explained that I had arrived at approximately 12:04 and had been waiting. What bothered me wasn't having to wait. Offices run behind, and I completely understand that. It was the way the situation was handled. A simple "Sorry about the delay, I'm ready for you now" would have been enough. Instead, the interaction immediately became confrontational, and Barbara asked me whether there was a problem. At that point, I told her that we did not seem like the right fit, and she agreed. I then asked for my intake paperwork back because it contained my personal information. She declined to return it and stated that she would shred it immediately. People seeking an attorney for divorce, child custody, or other family-law matters are often already dealing with an enormous amount of stress. When choosing someone who may represent you during one of the most difficult periods of your life, professionalism, communication, and some degree of empathy matter. I can't speak to Barbara's abilities as an attorney because our interaction never progressed far enough for me to evaluate her legal representation. I can only speak to my personal experience during this consultation, and based on that experience, I chose not to move forward with this firm.

Had a consultation with Alaina Prevatte where she understood that I was already currently divorced…read more(and have been since 2021, they did NOT represent me) and just looking to file for child support since I've never recieved it. I told her specifically that I didn't want an attorney who wasted my time. After I paid my $5,000 retainer in April 2025 it was crickets. After 2 weeks I emailed saying ummmm, next steps??? The next day she wrote me telling me that it was on her to do list to do a motion and that I'd have it by end of week. I didn't have it by then. She e-mailed a draft on 04/30. She told me she couldn't finalize motion until she got my original SC order, which was identical to our NC order that she already had possession of. Then she set up a drop box for me to deposit information into. I deposited it and again two weeks later reached out to ask them whats up. She never responded and 4 days later I followed up, then emailed Jon Knode & Kate Rech to keep them aware of my dissatisfaction. They both reiterated that they had no way of knowing if I had uploaded documents into dropbox. I'm like well, did anyone check? I then let them no I no longer wished to be a client. They tried to charge me an additional $1,156.50 telling me that I owed $2,000 as a true retainer when I first came on board. ARE YOU FREAKING kidding me? I've legit had 2 e-mails with Alaina and nothing to use towards my legal case. RUN FAR FROM THIS FIRM.

On September 12, 2024, I retained my attorney, Christine W. Rosenhauer from Rech Law, to represent…read moreme in an emergency custody case filed by my ex-husband to remove my child from my care. On September 22, 2024, under extreme stress, I mistakenly provided my attorney with an incorrect contact number for my ex-husband. On October 2, 2024, I sent my attorney an email correcting the phone numbers and requested that my attorney verify the numbers before taking any further action. My attorney responded, assuring me, "I want to double-check the numbers that I have". The subpoena for phone records that was submitted by my attorney incorrectly listed my phone number versus the opposing parties phone number. On October 10, 2024, my attorney forwarded a subpoena to AT&T with the incorrect number, resulting in my personal call records being sent directly to opposing party including me as a CC recipient without verifying the accuracy of the information or consulting me beforehand. This included my personal phone number and private call history. Such negligence led to a serious breach of my privacy, exposing my personal information and leaving me in a compromised and vulnerable position. September 23, 2024, I had my first subpoena hearing regarding my child. My attorney, Christine W. Rosenhauer, repeatedly instructed me not to bring my child with me to the hearing. My attorney confirmed this multiple times over the phone, even calling me during the week to emphasize that I should not bring my child. However, on the day of the hearing, the judge requested to see my child, which resulted in the hearing being continued to October 4. This delay caused me additional and unnecessary expenses. On October 4, 2024, the rescheduled hearing day, my attorney did not request my witnesses to testify, nor did she present any of the messages she had requested as evidence to the judge. despite confirming to me multiple times, in front of the witness, that there was no way my ex-husband could win or take my child from me. After consulting with several other attorneys, I learned that my attorney should have advised me on the negative impact the actions taken by my child would have against my case leading up to the hearing. These actions include but not limited to; running away, skipping classes, and damage to the home. This was never presented to me. Leading up to the hearing I asked on multiple occasions what would happen if we lost the hearing. Each time I was advised that there was no way my ex-husband could win or take my child from me. " I have all the evidence messages and emails" This lack of guidance and transparency left me unprepared for the hearing and put me at a disadvantage in my case. Unfortunately, I lost temporary custody, and my attorney charged me approximately $7,700.

When I called Bill I had already been through 3 different lawyers all of which did nothing for me and charged me through the roof. I met with Bill after my call to him in Oct. 2015 we sat down came up with a plan and worked to execute it. Within 4 months of working with Bill Hunter my custody agreement was done and signed off on by the judge. Not only did Bill work diligently with my case, he was by far the best communicative lawyer I've ever worked with. Last but definitely not least Hunter & Hein were reasonable and worked with my financially. I truly cannot say enough about the 2 of them and how over pleased I was with my experience using them. If your looking for a lawyer who is on top of his game, continuously updating you, very responsive, reasonable with fees, and who truly has your best interest at heart - I would not hesitate to give Bill Hunter a call!
