Morris-Sockle — Family Law Attorneys

Apr 9th, 2024

My counsel was ineffective and unprepared, at one point we were rebuked by the judge about our inappropriate court date scheduling. The lawyers excuse was that she was from a different county. Communication was terrible. Just days before a scheduled settlement hearing I emailed the office multiple times, called at least twice and finally drove to the office in failed attempts to contact the team. After the hearing I was informed my lawyer had personal issues and couldn't represent me. This was about 6 weeks before our court date. She assured me the firm partners would take my case. Days later she called and said everyone was too busy and the firm was dropping my case. Of course they collected all of their charges.

Female clients beware! This is a law firm that represents men in divorce. I found that out the hard way when I asked Mr. Stookey to represent me. I was not at all pleased with the representation I received from Mr.Matthew Stookey and Nancy Hull. The only thing he provided was having my husband served with divorce papers. When I went to him with questions and suggestions he would constantly tell me his opinion why my husband didnt or wouldnt have to do something. It made me feel like he had my husbands best interest at heart and represented him in this case instead of me. He was less than kind and very unprofessional and down right mean. I feel he is a misogynist. I did everything he asked and followed his guidance or I should say lack thereof and towards the end of him representing me he went against everything he was suggesting and guiding me to do. This is not the only time I have had to seek legal representation. But this experience was by far the worst. I hope for the sake of other woman, he does not represent them. Even the front of the building says Divorce attorneys for men. Please find representation elsewhere!

Any "firm" that has the MASSIVE LEVEL OF TURNOVER, this business has,..and continually has for a long time is a major RED FLAG! Currently,..NO Associate attorneys, FIVE gone in one year including the newest partner. ALL of the clientele blindsided and as of current, have been left hanging,.. and not even getting the promised help or response from my departed counsel. The "morris-sockle" sending a "so sorry letter" due to "unforeseen circumstances" we will be filing a NOTICE OF INTENT TO WITHDRAW, and no longer providing representation for family law matters. The language and feelings I really want to say and post,... would violate google terms. PS: ALL the "5 star reviews" come from clients that worked with attorneys and support staff that are NO LONGER EMPLOYEES at morris-sockle. Additonaly at this time, they are currently NOT ACCEPTING ANY NEW CLENTS. RUN,.. DONT BOTHER WITH morris-sockle, EVER!

The attorney DLFM referred us to did a horrible job and messed up our case. $40k and 1.5 years in and have only even had one hearing. We found a new lawyer who actually responds to us and doesn't let the other party walk all over them, doesn't ignore the Guardian at Litem, etc. We've emailed 3 times in the last 3 months asking Morris-Sockle to refund the $750 left of our retainer. They can send us billing statements every month saying we have $750 left, but don't respond to requests to have it refunded since we fired them months ago.
