I recently retained Ms. Juris for an uncontested divorce. I feel that working with Ms. Juris…read morethroughout this process was far more onerous and stressful than it needed to be. My adult daughter assisted me throughout the process and was a part of all communications with Ms. Juris, and she feels the same as I do. Here are a few examples of my experience with her: -She made suggestions in the initial consultation then, after I retained her, told me those suggestions really don't apply to my situation. She claimed that I misrepresented what was discussed. -I believe she provided erroneous information on at least two separate issues and later changed the information. -She did not provide much counsel or the guidance I would have expected. -I only found out when I emailed her on Aug. 2nd that she had left on vacation until Aug. 19. -She (oddly and out of the blue) sent me an email asking if I wanted to release her and retain other counsel. -She told me on September 16 that the divorce wouldn't be final until December 16. It was actually final on October 12, but I wasn't notified until October 21. In summary, I cannot recommend Ms. Juris and would advise friends and family to choose another attorney.
