Let me say I feel I got scammed, and it's my fault I trusted these people. I called for an uncontested/default divorce, they charged me for contested. Every step of the way I had to remind them "Hey can I get a copy of my divorce paperwork?" "Hey Can you remember to file for my default divorce" I was lucky enough I planned to bring a witness that was needed since they didn't inform me as well (Though they did say "yes" when I asked them if I should bring one after doing my google search). Then at the end when all was said and done I paid them 2500$ when they used less than $800 for my entire process and they "don't do refunds" and in my opinion it seems they make sure to carefully put that as soon as the retainer is paid it is considered "earned" to me it seems this language is used to keep them from having to abide by any regulations stating to return all unearned money. In my situation and from my perspective they behaved as scammers who take advantage of the unknowing. Do your research, shop around, and don't settle it could save you thousands. ***Edit, since I have been emailed regarding this post. I did sign a contract with this company. I did not notice the language at first that stated the retainer fees were "non-refundable" and the language stated that they were considered "earned". As I stated in my post, this was my fault as I blindly trusted not to be taken advantage of and did not read this as carefully as I should have. However, I still disagree with keeping over $1500 as an "umbrella in case you ever need our services again" when I had asked for an uncontested/default divorce and was told they had planned for a contested divorce on their end after the fact. I learned my lesson to further investigate who I trust, I am simply giving my experience in this matter. This is how some, if not many, law offices work. I understand that. I am simply warning people to be careful who you work with and read everything carefully. If you can take home any contracts and review carefully and do not sign in that one 15 minute meeting that you get.
