Hired Law Firm

Attorney Matthew Bailey adjourned a custody hearing without my consent and out of my presence. Matthew was increasingly frustrated with my desire to move forward with a scheduled hearing regarding an important custody agreement issue. Matthew did not prepare witnesses or evidence and was always unavailable by phone as soon as the clock struck 5pm. Minutes before the hearing, Matthew was still attempting to get me to use his mediator and to avoid the hearing I had spent months preparing myself to attend. I asked for a moment to talk to my husband for support and Matthew chose to use my absence as an opportunity to adjourn the hearing then withdraw without sensible explanation when we caught him outside the hearing room. Matthew Bailey did cite his “partner” status at Varnum LLP as a reason he didn’t have to worry about our concern which was shocking to us. If this is how Varnum develops attorneys then I would stay very far away.

Hired Attorney Nicholas Missad

Incredibly combative, non-compassionate, and disrespectful. I question how this man hasn’t been disbarred.
