Law Office of Joyce S. Schwensen

Horrible experience with this lady. We emailed to her first to see if she could help us in our situation and she was trying to sound knowledgeable without disclosing any particular information on our case. In particular she said that she couldn’t guarantee either a positive or a negative outcome — she’d need more details, and if we wanted her advice we’d need to set up a consultation with her at $ 280/​hr with one hour minimum. We bit the bullet and went for it because we were desperate. No new information was collected at the consultation but her opinion was a resounding ‘It wont work’. Seriously?! Couldn’t say this over email just to rip us off?!? And to make matters worse, she came absolutely unprepared to the meeting that was set up two weeks in advance. There were several times she repeated «I don’t recall now but I could look it up later…» Sorry but if you’re planning to charge someone that much, you should do your due diligence and actually crack a book open before they come, especially when you know all the details that are going to be discussed. Horrible, terrible, unprofessional. I have worse names in my head for her but I’ll let you use your imagination. Worst of all, she had raised our hopes and for two weeks we thought there might be a solution.
