So after making me wait weeks they bring me into an office where they do the consultations. In my mind a consultation involves talking with somebody who's offering solutions. In this scenario it's just recounting a story that is likely traumatizing you to a person that really doesn't care just for them to quote you $20,000. Their gimmick is that they like to charge a sum rather than an hourly wage. It is a trick. They say it's only $3,500 for the first 90 days, but it takes 60 days for the paperwork to be processed. So essentially you're paying them $3,500 to file $200 worth of paperwork. If you can get into court before that 90 days, you might find some resolution, but if you can't then they want another $7,500 for the next 90 days. If it exceeds that, well, that's going to be another $10,500.
These people parade themselves as someone who wants to help you and there's nothing more despicable in my mind than someone who is dishonest about wanting to help just so they can exploit your situation to line their pockets. The world has enough of this. Law offices that try to dupe people into these payment plans should be outlawed. They don't provide an itemized bill. They don't really care about you. And they will waste weeks of your time painting themselves as the solution to your problems just so that they can take your money.
For instance, the lady I did my consultation with hadn't even read my file. So then I had to waste time rehashing everything that she could have learned from the folder that she brought into the room with her. Then she sent me the contract with the above figures in it and when I responded to the email less than an hour later I received a out of office email for the next two weeks. So they wasted 2 weeks of my time just to talk to them and then want me to wait on them another two weeks afterward. Criminals. Meanwhile, I haven't seen my son in 2 months, and it doesn't matter to people like this how much we suffer.

My attorney Mike Kyrios was fantastic to work with. My ex and her lawyer were very difficult to work with and unresponsive. Mike helped me navigate the legal process and bring them to the table to get things settled. Sterling was great to work with on billing and helping set a down payment and payment schedule I could work with. I highly recommend both for anyone that needs help with their divorce.
