Detailed, methodical, and zealous in his pursuit of his client's best interest…read more Chip (John) took on my case after it had already been in the system for years... long after the divorce was finalized. My ex was bringing me in on a modification trying to get a king's ransom in child support and cut back on both my time and legal rights with the kids. I had interviewed other attorneys and was told the cards were not in my favor and that regardless of how badly my ex behaved the system was going to operate in her favor because she was a non-working Mom and I was a working Dad (basically I was told to prepare for the worst). When I went over the details of my case with Chip he assured me that what I was dealing with (my ex's flagrant violations of orders and refusal to respect my role as a parent) was not OK and that he could fight to make the situation work better for me and my relationship with the kids. In brief, Chip was not only able to help me defeat my ex's attempt to undercut my ability to be a parent to my kids, he was able to help me win sole-legal and physical custody of my kids by helping the court see just how bad her behavior really was. To say that this reversal of fortune was a life-changer is an understatement. Chip found ways to get the court to see how unbalanced my ex was... she did us some favors along the way by no showing certain hearings and becoming more brazen in her willingness to violate orders... but had I been with any of the other attorneys I interviewed we wouldn't have even been in position to capitalize on her errors... they were all working to minimize how bad my losses would be rather than adopt the mindset of working toward a win for my relationship with the kids. It's a slight shift in mentality that paid major dividends as my case progressed. I found Chip easy to work with, responsive to feedback and questions, and open to modifying his approach dependent upon what I had in mind on any particular issue. His legal writing style was also a breath of fresh air after having had my legal rights trampled on for years. It cannot be overstated how nice it was to have someone in my corner who was serious about fighting for my rights... his ability to hold the line even when the case got increasingly more complicated made all the difference in the world. TLDR... highly recommended!

I had a…read moreconsultation with Heather prior to a hearing for an extension of a restraining order, and she was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we spoke, Heather was calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring during what was a very stressful and emotional time. She walked me through exactly what to expect in court, helped me understand how to respond to questions, how to present my evidence clearly and confidently, and what language would be most effective. Her guidance gave me clarity and confidence which was exactly what I needed. What stood out most was how supportive and empowering she was -- not just legally sharp, but genuinely compassionate. I left the consult feeling prepared, grounded, and far less anxious. If you are navigating a difficult family law matter and want an attorney who is both highly skilled and truly supportive, I would recommend Heather O'Connor without hesitation.

So this "company" will bait and switch you. You call them they set you up with a person who does…read morethe psychological mind game. They listen to everything you have to whinge about your ex the money the children how it's not fair blah blah blah. They will tell you oh don't worry we'll make it all better. They tell you that you need to pay them this much to start. They'll set you up with an attorney. Then the next person that calls you is the person who handles money. She does all the billings and collections her starts with A. She will make sure you pay. She will not tell you that every month that you are a client with them. They will charge you with a maintenance fee for keeping the accounting.. And so when a month of service goes by they charge you and they start with the accruing of interest on your account and each time there is an interaction with your attorney. It starts a whole other cycle of interest accruing on your account. Not just for the total of the account the whole of the account, each separate line item each separate call starts an accruing interest on its own.They set you up with an attorney. They put me with a guy who was brand new to the firm. When I called and looked him up and tried to do my due diligence about him I called the previous law office He worked at and they declined to say anything about him leaving there. And I know why. Because he was the laziest attorney I ever had in my life. I have paid people thousands of dollars I've had four or five attorneys. This guy was the worst. He slept through alarms. He didn't show up to zoom meetings for the court. it was utterly embarrassing. He was late on our first meeting and just continued to be terrible. I would go to meet him to drop off files. I'll be sitting around waiting for 45 minutes to an hour. He was very likely sleeping in his apartment. He was the worst. His name also starts with A. He basically just did paperwork for me and settled things. When I had a contempt, he let the other party run all over me and would say, well if we take it to a trial, it's gonna cost you more money. No that's what I want. I want you to work for me. I want you to be tough. I don't want you having two hour conversations with the other parties attorney as your brothership of lawyers does. He's our enemy and that was very unclear to him for some reason. They are the enemy. Treat them as such. They do not. They're only out to line their pockets. That is the bottom line. I got nothing at all from this law firm, and the end I I ended the relationship. I said I do not need you any longer. And I owed them money , I don't know say like $6000 after I had paid them over $10,000. I was just done because I can fight my own battles for free. Because they weren't doing anything but filling in the blanks on pre-filled forms. I can have a judge tell me no without paying someone else to do it. And that's basically how it was with them. At the end with the balance of what I had every single line item from each email, conversation, monthly admin fee and each motion was accruing interest at a different rate so when you think you owe them 6000 within three days, it's a hundred more. By the time I settled this account with them I owed them about $7500. And $1500 was in interest. And I told them flat out I didn't have it all. They were going to take me to collections. I literally took out a personal loan. Because I couldn't even stand to deal with them any longer. It was like having a monkey on my back. Someone calling emailing being generally harassing. And then you see on social media, the firm owner on her boat, giving away gift certificates sending edible arrangements (which likely she owns ) basically promoting herself all over the place, but in truth her people do little more than take money from you and keep very close track of what you owe them for their fees. There she is looking like she's a good guy, Oooo! get a gift certificate! It's not worth it, Don't be fooled. So anyway, they knocked off most of the interest. But I do not suggest you get tied up with them at all. Because they have a person to collect, they have a person to to get you on board and They have a person who if you are having conflict with your attorney or you need resolution or someone to talk you down they have a person for that too. It's a nickel and dime scheme. Don't go with them. Find a long established, honest, accomplished, trustworthy and proven office and go with them. Everything I have said here is absolutely true. I don't even need to hear from this law firm. I don't need to hear that they did the best they could. I'm sorry it was time for me to finally say how awful I was treated and how terrible and lazy my attorney was. I did say it to them. And that's my word. Thank you for nothing.

From the owner: Divorce is never easy, but many people have found that divorce mediation is a much less expensive…read moreand far less emotionally painful way to divorce than divorce litigation. How will you divide your assets? Who is responsible for your debts? Who pays the bills until the house is sold? Who will provide health insurance? These are but a few of the questions that must be answered before a divorce is finalized. As a divorce and family mediator, I meet with both parties and help them talk openly and constructively about these issues. I also help couples create an agreement that is fair and equitable for both of them and that allows them to take and keep control of their lives. Raising children in separate homes presents additional problems to divorcing, divorced and never-married parents. Mediation can help parents who are living apart remain partners in raising their children while retaining civility and control of their own lives. During mediation, I help parents create an agreement that includes, but is not limited to, detailed provisions for custody, co-parenting plans, child support, health insurance, education, and extra-curricular activity expenses. No one cares more about you and your children than you do. In divorce mediation, you make the decisions that affect your and their lives...
