This posting has been reported to Yelp as violating its guidelines with regard to update reviews on Yelp. With regard to update reviews, Yelp's guidelines state in pertinent part, "[r]eview updates should reflect a new experience or interaction with the business. Don't keep posting about the same old story you've already told." We haven't worked with this individual since early May of 2020. Thus, her update reviews can only refer to allegations she has about the legal services she received prior to May 2020 and thus do not refer to any new consumer/client experiences with our firm. Accordingly, her update reviews violate Yelp guidelines

Further, the hearing she is referring to occurred earlier this year in February. She did not substitute the firm out of her case until May 2020 -- despite her assertions about wanting to fire the firm. We did not represent her in the beginning of her longstanding case (divorce was filed many years ago) and were not brought into her case until she was denied ex parte relief (at the beginning of this year). Subsequently, the denial of her moveaway request occurred at a hearing many months after we no longer were working with her. Accordingly, Stacey P. is displeased with the results of that hearing. Nonetheless, we understand that transcripts and orders of the proceedings were made and a full and complete and accurate record of the comments made by counsel, and the Judge, reflect what happened at the hearings in her case, and not what Stacey P. claims.


Prior comment, 11/21/2020: I regret that you took offense to my asking you to reconsider your rating. I am not sure why you took offense since I was only writing out of a sense of fairness -- to my firm and my employees -- to follow up on any review that does not appear to take into account all relevant factors. You were not threatened or coerced and I only asked you to be open-minded about the role you played in your case. Accordingly, moveaways are difficult cases and judges do not welcome having to make decisions as to whether one parent can move away with a child. To be fair, you did not hire my firm until you had already had begun pursing your moveaway and had been denied relief at an ex parte hearing. Once we represented you, I documented that you had not been following our advice. Nevertheless, you even sent an email complimenting the service you had been receiving. Subsequently, you represented yourself at the actual hearing concerning the moveaway. Thus, given all the circumstances surrounding your case, I do not believe your Yelp review(s) were fair to my firm.
