Stewart Mittleman & O'Rourke L.L.C.

We worked with Harry O'Rouke and his paralegal Stephanie on our adoption. We are so grateful for their expertise, attention to detail, willingness to communicate in emergency situations during nights and weekends. I recommend them to anyone!

Once they recieved payment contact with them all but stopped. Multiple calls and emails with no reply. Kept having to get continuances due to lawyer being unprepared to resolve a speeding ticket. Ended up just taking the points after months of them not filing paperwork properly. Asked for a refund since they did nothing and wouldnt ya know, can't get a response. Poor preperation, communication, and not doing what they said they would do is very aggravating. Do not hire.

I would recommend them. My experience is that you have stay on them. They were short staffed when I used them. End product was good, just took about 6 - 8 months longer than was told.

Do not waste your money, this law firm is unprofessional and Harold ORourke is a scam artist. I never met him in person at the time of hiring, he charged $300 consultation fee and asked for a $5000 retainer for a custody case. After a 2 day trial date was set, he asked for a $30,000 deposit to a trust account for him to continue doing my case. So I paid $15,000 and the rest due in 2 weeks. ORourke never sent itemized bills as the case progressed and I requested multiple times via email 11 months since hiring. He replied he was going to send me the statements the following day and he didnt. I requested termination of services and my $15,000 trust money back as the trial got cancelled and case dismissed (not because of his work). He stopped responding to emails and I left multiple voicemails for 4 months without communication so I drove to Missouri and went to his office. When I met him in person for the first time, he made comments about the way I looked making me feel uncomfortable. He printed the invoices and gave them to me 17 months later. There were errors, multiple repeat charges, and excessive time charges to drain all the money. When I confronted him his response was that the financial institution had my email wrong, thats no excuse for him not following up with my requests for statements repeatedly. He started telling me how much he liked me and enjoyed our telephone conversations, I felt harassed and uncomfortable in his presence. He has no professional integrity. Treated me with disrespect. DO NOT HIRE!
