Divorce For Men Only

The worst experience I have had in a long time. Very expensive. They did not explain things well and the whole process was confusing.

Update as of August 2015. Only if I had Mr. Holmes as my lawyer, I would have had a fighting chance.
Update as of March 2015. So I received a letter from Holmes & moore by thane schultz. It stated that I owe $ 1681.15. After 6 months of firing him, thane sends me bill. It’s one thing if I received the bill within a month, but after 6 months??? I emailed him about this and of course he didnt reply back. I will be calling better business bureau.
Just a background. My daughter was abducted to florida. Thane, helping me to do the paperwork, filed a temporary physical custody to the judge. After a poorly written letter to the judge, the request was denied. Afterall, my daughter was abducted. How could I lost the temporary custody request? Right?
After 2 – 3 months of doing a poor job and billing me one thing after another, I had to say no to him. I thought I received the final bill and paid it off. After 6 months passed, thane sent another bill of $ 1681.
Once again, I have told people on Unilocal review as well as those who have sent me private messages on Unilocal to stay away from Holmes & moore.

I received excellent advice there. I had to talk to a lawyer regarding a child support order that seemed to be lopsided and unfair. Even though the lawyer was not authorized to assist due to jurisdiction issues, he gave me general good sound advice and information (especially law speak) that gave me a good push in the right direction. Lawyers do get paid well, but they are always the best people to have on your side when dealing with judicial proceedings. I would work with them in the future if possible.

Neil is great! He’s been my family law attorney now for almost a decade. I know his strengths to be the law and his reputation as a top attorney. Additionally, he also tells you what you need to know so you can make informed decisions. I may not have always liked what he told me, but his honesty saved me thousands and a ton of stress. Ultimately, I feel like anyone else that would have handled my case would have cost me twice as much and done half the job. In the end, I’m a dad who now has ⁸⁰⁄₂₀ Visitation, kept the family home, and has an order in place that has brought sanity back into my life.

I interviewed this firm (and had to pay for one hour of consultation) and was not impressed. First, they seemed like a real mill with little regard for fighting for my rights. No encouragement that I could get through this expensive divorce with any kind of reasonable financial outcome. And, the emphasis on their fees and how much I needed to be prepared to pay them, much less my ex, far outweighed any constructive idea as to how to approach my problem. I hired a different firm and am glad I did.

The guys at Divorce For Men Only are knowledgable and nice. But watch your money. They will charge you on$ 75 to respond to an email. Same for phone calls. Now I am sure that all attorney’s do this but it doesn’t make it right.
Another issue is the difficulty reaching the attorney. When I did email it took two weeks to hear back from Neil Holmes. And when I did it wasn’t in response to my email and questions it was to tell me some other things. So I never got an answer to my email questions. Needless to say both of these things left me unsatisfied.
There are answers and forms on this website that I would recommend checking before you retain the services of an attorney —

You also might be better off representing yourself in court. Or at least make sure your attorney allows you to speak up on your behalf. Discuss this with your attorney before your court date.

Cliff has a lot of experience, and a lot of knowledge. Cliff gave me really sensible, down to earth advice on how to navigate the process of divorce. And he didn’t race to rack up fees. I hate most lawyers, but I’m really glad that I had Cliff on my team.
