Hired Attorney Steven St. Leger Cox Esq.

Excellent attorney; cumbersome support system; made to feel my case was low priority; case only addressed when deadline was approaching

Hired Law Firm

Jamie Schwinghamer and her assistant lack attention to important details. Schwinghamer responded to client concerns with misunderstanding, emotional tirade, and failed to attempt clarification or understanding with client. She misinterpreted the request and quit citing "irreconcilable differences." She never attempted a reconciliation of the client's concern.

 
Response from Roetzel & Andress A Legal Professional Association
May 03, 2021
I am disappointed to see this review and sincerely hope that this former client has resolved their legal issues to their satisfaction. It is a rare and mutually unfortunate event when an attorney/client relationship is not a good fit.

Hired Law Firm

My mom's house was in probate, and they quit my case and tried to charge me thousands for nothing couldn't get me any information about my deceased moms house no information or papers of payments or amount owned I had three different lawyers throughout my case. Told me if I didn't agree to a third-party ruling, they would quit so I had no choice and then they decided to quit after doing 2 zoom calls that lasted less than 2o mins each and a few emails. I lost my job, and my mom passed away and they showed zero compassion sending emails and text at 2am and extremely rude and sobby remarks on email I would recommend no one work with this firm or for them they didn't do anything I asked and made my situation 100 times worse, and I will be filing a grievance of disservice

Hired Law Firm

The worst and most unprofessional lawyer I have ever dealt with.
She has a complete lack of communication skills and is on some kind of "power trip" trying to scare innocent people with taking their properties away.
Please beware of dealing with this person.
I am really surprised that Roetzel & Andress still keeps someone so extremely rude like this employed.
Moreover, this person charges for whatever she feels like and crosses out whole parts of the itemized bill.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
