David’s Story: The Costs of Hiring a Wrong Attorney
David’s Costly Experience with the Wrong Attorney
David’s journey through divorce is a cautionary tale for anyone considering legal action. David, like many others, assumed that hiring an attorney would ensure that his divorce went smoothly. Unfortunately, his first lawyer’s lack of experience and diligence turned what should have been a straightforward process into a prolonged and costly ordeal.

Lost Time and Money: Shortly after separating from his wife, Alicia, David hired a divorce attorney with the expectation that his case would be handled efficiently. Instead of taking decisive actions, his lawyer sent out unnecessary documents – requests for information that were not crucial to the case. This not only wasted valuable time, but also increased the legal fees. The attorney also failed to follow-up with the court and dismissed David’s case. David was still separated five years later but not divorced. He had spent $7,500 on attorney fees and nothing to show for it. This money was essentially wasted, as the divorce never ended. We immediately recognized his mistakes and took proactive steps to resolve the situation. After carefully reviewing the facts, we filed a second divorce. We wanted to make the divorce process as easy and friendly as possible, knowing the emotional strain David has already experienced. We sent Alicia a Waiver of Service to avoid the embarrassment of a constable serving her. Alicia decided not to hire a legal representative, which could have further complicated the matter, but we were able negotiate a satisfactory agreement for both parties. David was able to move forward with his life after the divorce was finalized. David’s experience shows the importance of hiring a lawyer who is not only knowledgeable, but also attentive and diligent to the details of your situation. The right lawyer will not only handle your divorce efficiently but will also protect your financial interests, minimize emotional strain, and help you move forward with confidence.
