I had Laura Ruzzo Reale as my attorney in a divorce case. I spent almost $30k , she did nothing for me that a mediator couldn't have done. She was very unprofessional in the way she talked to me as well as comments she made about the other attorney in the case. She put a lien on my house without even contacting me when I had already gave her almost $20k in cash, she knew I wasn't going to have access to any other cash until the divorce was final. She required a $5k retainer, when she thought we we're going to trial , she wanted another $10k to start working on preparation for trial, then before we went to trial she wanted the balance of her bill paid off. We never made it to trial, I had to settle because I couldn't continue to pay her for not working on my behalf. I had to ask her to withdraw as my counsel because she was not helping me and charging me for time and hours that I know we're not accurate.
