Hired Law Firm

I had previously done a mediation and though I wasn’t pleased with the outcome, I was happy with the custody I had received and made it clear during the initial call that was the most important thing to me. They assured me they could help me and did not speak of the risk I was taking. We were supposed to submit an offer to my ex-husbands attorney but his attorney was allowed the time to strike first and I was constantly coming from behind. My ex who recorded me with a video camera 24/7 with sound (wire tapping) Is now recording our daughters 24/7 with sound (his mom was in prison for recording children performing acts on each other) Spent funds from the HELOC on things he wanted while holding me in financial prison Lied and put words in our daughters’ mouths Was essentially an absentee father before the dissolution of the marriage and now is love bombing the girls until he wins and then that will change He now has 50/50 custody and more assets because the numbers weren’t checked

Hired Attorney Sara Donohue

She was rude and billed for services never preformed. She sent me to mediation blind- no financial plan or options or explanation how it’s supposed to work. She would yell “stop” after I tried to answer her question and did seem to read any of my email claiming not to have received it. But it would show up on her invoices. She also made fun of the opposing counsel’s appearance. She made fun of me to my face and was often late, and I felt her approach was to intimidate her client into a settlement that was not underpinned by what the law said. She didn’t fight for me; she stressed me out more than the divorce itself was already doing. She often forgot things, didn’t seem to review anything she asked me to send her. Divorce attorneys are generally not compassionate. But she took it a whole new level based on what I observed and experienced. Run and don’t look back. That’s, of course, unless you have money to burn for nothing to show.

Hired Attorney Emily Shank

Could be a 5 star review depending on if she represents you or not. She acted unethically in my case, refused to contact key witnesses, dismissed medical documents as bias, as well as acting in subornation of perjury. She would openly have conversations with opposing counsel, she was a best interest attorney representing my children, she would have conversations with my abusive spouses attorney then they would tag-team me on the stand. She is sexist and acts out of personal interests rather than ethical obligation. She also tripled her retainer, petitioning 2 additional times for fees that added over thirty thousand dollars to the cost of the case.

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.
