It took six months to get that answer from the litigation team. What a horrible process! Now it's been just about six months since my accident and I can't even find another Attorney to help me. I've racked up almost $30,000 in insurance bills and felt so confident that they were going to help me. The communication was also terrible after 4 months. Just another meat factory, pretending to actually care. I've wasted so much time and energy with this firm. I would definitely not recommend even contacting them if you need help. Very disappointing. After six months, even more disappointing to be left a voicemail that they're not gonna help me. They don't even have the courage to tell me over the phone.

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 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.

Dealing with these cases, especially divorces, can be so tricky and stressful. I've been searching for someone reliable to help me, and Eric Meredith totally delivered. From the start, he was swift, professional, and fair-priced. They're top-tier lawyers! Julie Trudeau is a gem, patient, helpful, and always attentive. When she says she'll call at 5 PM, she does it precisely, with no delays, just organized and respectful. And Eric Meredith? Honestly, he's the best lawyer I've ever encountered! As this was my first divorce case, I was nervous, but he took charge. Less than 10 minutes in court, and I was done with the petty drama and into the clear. I finally feel free, empowered, and ready to move on without attachment. Eric, you are genuinely the GOAT of lawyers, and you're my first, last, and every time I need legal help! I shared my fantastic experience with my family, and they all agree that Eric Meredith and his team are unmatched. If you need a top-notch lawyer who genuinely cares and gets the job done, look no further. These attorneys are lifesavers for busy people like me, juggling everything. Thank you so much, guys, I'll be back, because life's surprises keep coming! Haha.

He doesn't read emails. He does respond to text messages and says he will get you answers but never does. He has been a huge disappointment and does not seem to care about what I am dealing with. I've told him I need better communication from him but it doesn't help. The only thing his firm is prompt about is sending invoices. I could never in good conscience recommend him to anyone. The only reason I have not yet changed attorneys is because of the money I have invested so far. I'm at the end of my rope and if things don't improve very soon I will seek a new attorney. If it comes to that I will do a lot more research before choosing someone.it would be nice if I could find an attorney who cares about me and my situation and is willing to provide a free consultation. If there are any attorneys out there I'd like to know.
