Beverly Storey Law Office

My spouse and I hired Ms. Storey for a custody case. She did not notify us of a hearing, nor did she show up to said hearing and our case was dismissed reverting orders back to prior orders where my daughter was in danger of my mentally ill ex wife taking custody of her. She didn’t notify us of this dismissal until three months later and said she would get us back to where we were on her own dime since the dismissal was due to her negligence. FOOLISHLY accepted. Well she didnt notify us of our reinstatement hearing either! WE found out ourselves five days before and had to scramble to get off work so that we could appear. How could you not notify us AGAIN?! She did get us back to where we were but then presented us with a Final Order that in NO WAY protected our daughter or incorporated anything in regards to her protection from our Agreed Temporary Order. Then she couldnt believe that we could be angry with and not trust her. So she filed a Motion to Withdraw As Counsel which we agreed to wholeheartedly. But she refused to return the retainer we gave her which was for work to finalize our Order. She had the nerve to bill us for drafts we couldnt use, records we never saw or discussed and for time on the Temporary Order reinstatement… the Order she had dismissed due to her negligence. She actually had the nerve to bill for MORE than our retainer and in her bill itemized charges for text communications regarding our case that we did not have with her! We asked her who she was speaking to about her case but she has refused to respond to us any further. We are in the process of filing a grievance against her for our case dismissal and refusal to refund our money.

Wish I could give ZERO stars. TERRIBLE attorney. She did our child’s international adoption, and 16 years later we now learn that the entire adoption is a disaster from start to finish. Our daughter doesn’t even have an American birth certificate or citizenship! She can’t get a license, can’t register for college, can’t get on a plane… and Ms. Storey won’t even do me the courtesy of returning my phone calls! Incredible. Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from this person as you can.
