They bled me dry for 10 months. Had entry level clerks working on the case while Scott was never available. Always busy on something else. Unable to interpret financials statements. I had to explain simple stuff to his law firm.

Unless you have 30,000$ to waste do not use Surovell.

I had this experience with another “high conflict” firm. NO Results. Just a lot of invoices. They could not promise anything and they just charged. I would suggest going flat fee to friends. Get in and out. The lawyer I had wanted to argue everything on Fridays at court and she got me nowhere.

Are people still complaining about their attorneys since 2019?

My divorce attorneys had to ask me my kids names in the middle of court. I knew I was in the wrong spot.

Posters on 7/4 at 14:42 and 14:46, would you please, please share the names of those attorneys? For the sake of those of us in terribly stressful situations right now trying to hire attorneys? Would be very grateful for that.

I had David zangrilli for my divorce.
I should have represented myself in my divorce and saved $30K in pointless legal fees. For years, I asked him to revisit the child support amount, but he ignored me and insisted it was correct. Turns out, he never even used the standard formula. I finally had to hire someone else to fix it. What a waste! Could have, would have, should have… Too late for me, but not for you.

This thread is over ten years old
All the $$ formula forms are on the county site

put them in excel first — and then negotiate
not hard

assets are 50-50. Lawyers do not rally get you a better price on the house . they really done

I think they win when their clients are stressed or have no brain cells

I trusted, respected and loved this man but now it appears this was a marriage of convinence for him. He is after every penny I got. I need a strong attorney who is excellent at settlement and can get him for adultry. I have solid and good evidence of his wrong doings.

Nobody cares about adultery. Pick a different battle.

+1 Adultery does not matter. You won't get more in custody or assets. It will still be 50/50. If you litigate, you will take money you could both keep and spend it attorneys instead. Don't be stupid. Keep your money. Mediate and get out. You will lose more if you fight. You seem to think you can "get more" if there is adultery. That is just not true.
