If jumping to ill-founded conclusions was an Olympic sport.....Kathryn Ciesla would be a gold…read moremedalist. Ms Ciesla was my family's court ordered GAL. She worked / charged me over $20,000 for 28 months of work. In all of that time I spoke to her for less than 90 minutes and had no email communication from / with her. She was simply not interested in seeking any of my input or doing the work to get the "other side of the story." Her recommendations to the court regarding my contact with my children were totally ignored by the judge. The judge ruled directly opposite of what Ms Ciesla robustly recommended. In my 30 year professional career I have met very few people with less objectivety and such low integrity. Do your yourself (and your family) a favor and run, do not walk away from having anything to do with Kathryn Ciesla.

I paid 2500 retainer after they told me $5000 was the minimum. On October 1, I received a sudden letter saying my attny had left practice. (now I understand why). She was way better that those amazoniams! Also, I happened to receive a motion to withdraw from someone else case. I wonder who has my "confidential files". They should be fined. Also I had never received an invoice or bill to date... so I requested one. The one I received on oct 4 was completely wrong. How could I be charged for my attny to drive to court for 2 days? the 13th and 14th of September! Did she Come from Florida? The bill also had charges with JLW which JLW did not submit. They make up charges~ They now claim I have no right to appeal the bill bc It has been 30 days. I emailed them asking to explain... no reply yet

We met with Johannah Hebl. During the course of a delightful conversation, my wife spoke of the sort of the changes she wanted to make. When we received a draft from Johannah, we were both impressed by how perfectly she had captured what my wife wanted. There was no need for any back-and-forth regarding subsequent modifications. This is the sort of experience you want from any professional but sometimes seems all too rare.
