I had a dissolution filed through with John Boyd back in 2021-2022, it went super smooth and all…read morewent well. Fast forward to 2024, my at the time boyfriend was in the process of getting divorced and needed to hire an attorney to represent him. I of course mentioned John's office to him. As I had such a simple dissolution. John must have been busy, because his case got forwarded to Chase Baker. First appt: Chase seemed like he heard everything we had said, there was even a point where they connected on a previous case involving my now fiancés daughter against ex wife's son (SA) and was the entire reason they were getting a divorce. Chase was the prosecutor for Richland county juvenile services at that time. So he had remembered my fiancés case and was equally as distraught that nothing ever came to. Chase filed the dissolution motion and from there it turned into a full blown divorce, during the divorce proceedings she had gotten involved with attorney Melissa tomello who is known to be a 'shark' in court. Chase basically laid down and let them take him for everything that he has and didn't. Never made her turn in financial statements of how much money she made. She withheld and changed her phone number and kept the kids from him for two months, he paid off her cellphone and she got a brand new one on His phone plan and put it on her own line but he had to pay off again a brand new phone for her, still had the son that wasn't to be around young kids around his young sons, and still never represented that in court. There were times before court where he had no idea where to go, when to report and getting him to answer an email or phone call was like pulling teeth. There was no Communication Unless it was a reply to back to back to back emails on my fiancés end being sent. Then when it came to court, he refused to actually fight and stand up for him as his client. So now almost a year later, someone who's son sexually abused my step daughter and the ex wife/ mother screaming from the roof tops that she's a liar is bringing home $478 in child support a week. And the father of this child, who has full custody of his daughter is barely scraping Penny's together to get by. Talking $300 a week on a 40 hr week. He will say child care costs but childcare is $280 a week for the other children (two sons) that they had together and both kids are not on formula or needing extra doctors appts etc. All this to say, I feel like the cause for recommending John because he was good to me, to getting his colleague who I assumed would be a direct reflection of him...only to find out this is not the case. So long story, John was great chase however is not.

I used the internet to do a search for Contract lawyers, and this firm popped up. I called, and…read morewhen they answered, I told them the above sentence and asked if the internet lied to me, and I was promptly hung up on. Now, I may sound like I am in sales, because I used to be. But I was not trying to reach them about their cars extended warranty - I was calling because I was in need of a contract lawyer. I called back immediately, and it went to the IVR where it listed different lawyers. I picked one that was on the name of the firm (assuming it was a partner), informed them of what happened, and told them the person answering the phone needed some remedial training in customer service; after all, why hang up on someone when they could be a prospective client? I received a call the next day, and I believe it was the lawyer that I left a message for. His words: "We do do contract law, but we're not interested in working for you." Apparently, he was offended by my voicemail, claims the person who answered the phone has worked for him for over a decade, and he has never had an issue with her before. Her record has been broken. Here is the thing. If a company treats prospective clients in this manner, I fear how they treat current clients. We had a few words, and then I promptly told him ORC 2917.21 and hung up. If you don't want to work with me, that's fine. If you want to hang up on people, that's fine too; after all, it is your law firm. However, in this day & age, with social media, reviews are not uncommon; favorable, and unfavorable. While I may not be an "influencer" with millions of followers, if anyone asks me if I know a lawyer - for ANY issue - I will be sure to steer them clear of this firm. Very unprofessional behavior.
