Weatherley Law

THE worst example of an "attorney " out there! And I use that term lightly. He must have graduated at the bottom of his class. Wish these reviews had been on the internet before I hired him!!

The worst lawyer I have had done business with in over 35 years in business. Will never return calls in a timely manner and if he does only after the deadline is over. Dont waste your money he will ask for larger deposit than he says he really needs but its gone in a flash without any results to show for a clear waste of money. You are better off running away from this lawyer. If I could have given him a zero I would have. Very chaotic in his thinking but trust me will not forget to bill you when he thinks of your name. And once you find out that he hasnt done something correct he will charge you twice. Long story short , I would not even Recommend him to my worst enemy.

Doug Weatherley is a TERRIBLE divorce attorney....because of his poor advice during my divorce, he cost me thousands of dollars in additional fees as well as a much longer process than necessary. I would not recommend him to anyone!! Avoid like the plague!

I share this because I dont want this to happen to someone else. I was afraid of lawyers, afraid of being financially taken advantage of. This was, unfortunately, what happened in my experience with Doug Weatherley. I wish I had read the reviews prior to meeting with/retaining him & actually heeded those reviews. Doug charged me for services unrelated to the retainer I signed for without making me aware ahead of time. He charged hundreds of dollars for simple emails that only took minutes to read/respond to & charged an outrageous amount just receive an email on my behalf (no response on his part, literally just received an email). He charged me to forward emails that I didnt ask for him to or know that I was being charged for. Then,after knowing the retainer I had struggled to come up with was gone/literally wasted by his immoral actions, he asked for more money to retain him for the matter he had already began charging my prior retainer for without my knowledge/consent. I had asked him for his help in that second matter until he asked for more money & I saw the statement showing where my money was wasted. I truly thought he was forwarding those emails on the unrelated/unretained matter as an act of kindness. I was wrong and I paid for it. It was devastating to put trust in someone & need help then have them do this. I will be very careful in the future & take time to research more carefully when selecting an attorney. Aside from the money, he also guided me in the wrong direction. He didnt take time to listen & fully understand my full situation. It was rushed & when I explained the rationale for my choices, he insisted we could have gotten what I originally wanted. It wasnt about what I wanted, it was about what was right for all involved. I am happy that I chose to do the right thing & not listen to Mr. Weatherley. To the reader reading this, good luck & best wishes.
