I chose Stacy Rice because she had a reputation for telling it like it is. She recommended…read moremediation, which my ex and I did, and then worked with me to tell me where I could be firm, and where I might have to be flexible. My ex-husband retired, had been an engineer, and wanted me to pay him alimony. That wasn't going to happen, but going to court would cost more than giving up something else. In the end, I think that I gave the money to my ex rather than wasting it on court fees and attorney fees. I think she gives good advice and if you are a smart client, when you hire a good attorney, you should take that advice.

She charged me over ten grand to represent me in a custody case that is cut and dry. Made me pay the bill in full then on the day of the trial she claims to have not been confident and know the judge so because I am a Nurse she stated it would be best to postpone the case. She told the courts I was a COVID nurse so I was not even allowed in court house and the judge postponed my case for an entire year! Then she continued t charge my fathers CC stating emails, texts, phone calls were over $13 grand. Now mind you I never even met this lady in person. When I asked for a detailed description of all these charges she said she does not keep track and that she was not providing that for me. She called me a "joke" in an email and has done nothing but degrade myself and my family. I am a professional Woman, Nurse for 24 years and have never had such disgusting treatment by a lawyer before. Do not use this firm! I also found out she has lost another nurses custody case and an insurance agents divorce case. She should be banned from working in this industry period.

HE EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS…read more His detailed description and attention to every detail, especially in the context of dealing an international case, is incredibly remarkable. It's reassuring to have a lawyer that personally calls me & emailing without delay. Also I can directly call and email him in case I need to. He ensures that I fully understood every step of the process, he will ask if I have questions &will assisst me right then and there. His personalized approach, and dedication is incomparable. The fact that he personally handles every detail without relying on paralegals speaks volumes about his commitment to his clients. I had so much frustrating experiences with lawyers in the past, and I'm so glad I found Attorney Patrick Crawford who provided the support and clarity I needed during what must have been a "very difficult time" in my divorce case.

She refunded only $300, keeping $700 for doing absolutely nothing. She claimed to help with mediation and child support adjustments, but we later learned she never submitted anything to the court. There's no record of her work--just money gone. Her billing is also unethical. She charged me $175 for a one-minute voicemail and "proved" it by sharing her voicemail screen as "proof." Yet my bill listed it as a one-hour call that never happened. She came off nice at first, but when it came to refunds and billing, she was completely unethical.

I initially consulted Rusz legal services on 9/28/24 for my divorce. I was disappointed at how my…read morecase was handle, and I wasn't represented well by the Attorney who was assigned to my case. I was assigned to attorney Taylor J Kane to handle my case. I just recently found out after filing a grievance that she mentioned she was a contracting attorney. Nothing was mentioned about her affiliation with this law firm that she was a contracting attorney. Also, it wasn't clarify to me that I will need to contact Rusz legal directly for any concerns I have about my case. When I assumed that Taylor Kane was assigned to my case she should be my contact person during the proceedings. And whom I have being communicating with during her representation until I asked her to withdraw from my case. She was in charge of my case until I noticed some discrepancies with documents she claimed she filed in court. Which on my statement it said they were drafted and I was billed for those services and none were filed in the court system . Attorney Kane only filed discovery and interrogatories. I had a pre trial on 3/28/26. Taylor Kane didn't show up for that trial. Instead she assigned her colleague who I get to find out doesn't work for Rusz legal services on the day of the trial whom I have never worked with in the past. I tried reaching out to Taylor Kane About concerns I have for my upcoming pre trial. Because she tried to change my pre trial date without my consent. I knew after she had filed to change the date and the court denied it. So I asked her what can be done. She waited until the morning of my trial and told me she was sending someone to represent me. On 4/29/25 I had my second pre trial because the opponent failed to appear at the first pre trial on 3/28/25. When the opponent showed up he was asking for things I didn't felt was right. And was not going to be in my favor. Because he never turned in full financial disclosures. Therefore, I asked I want to go to trial instead. Attorney Kane was trying to force me to settle with the opponent's request. She told me trials are expensive that if I were in California my claims didn't matter and she doesn't care she is gonna be paid if I chose to move to trial. once I found out that some of the documents she had claimed were done and was never filed in court and her making that comments. Which I felt was inappropriate. I immediately asked her to withdraw from my case. Because it seemed like she didn't have my best interest. I proceed to hire a new counsel for my case on 5/5/25. my new counsel entered on 6/18/25. I asked that my files are transferred to my new counsel. Attorney Kane failed to transfer my files on time. Claiming that she was just a contracting attorney for Rusz legal services and Rusz legal should have done the transfer to my new counsel. I tried several times reaching Rusz legal about my files to be transferred. And everytime they will refer me back to Attorney Kane and Mentioned they have notify her about my request. My trial date was on 8/28/25. My files were not turned in to my new counsel until 8/12/25. Which caused for my other counsel to not prepared enough to represent me well. Taylor kane also didn't complete my short financial form correctly. Which was rejected and I found out about that on day of trial by the judge. because it wasn't correctly done: this caused a lot of procedural errors on my divorce decree. That made me felt a lot dissatisfied about this firm's attorneys that are assigned to represent your case.
