 We, like every successful business, appreciate and consider our clients’ feedback. Unfortunately, your feedback is inaccurate and, quite frankly, misleading. Although we already explained your bill for services performed on two separation occasions, by writing to you, we would be more than happy to discuss this matter further; you are more than welcome to call our office to do so. It is unfortunate that your divorce resulted in so much litigation, but I am afraid we cannot be held accountable for your wife’s persistence in refusing to settle any issues outside of the courtroom. I am bound by confidentiality in responding to this negative review; however, I can make general statements that are part of the public record.

If you will recall, your wife filed a Protection From Abuse (PFA) petition, which resulted in a PFA hearing being scheduled the following week, which you chose to attend with the “junior attorney,” Brian A. Coverdale, Esquire, at his lower hourly rate, instead of continuing it one week, so I could represent you at the hearing. To prepare you for this hearing, you participated in a face-to-face conference with me and Brian A. Coverdale, Esquire, during which you agreed to have Brian A. Coverdale, Esquire represent you at the PFA hearing. At no point were you charged for the same work done by different attorneys. Furthermore, at no point did you work with an attorney with whom you did not want to work. You were not charged by either of the two attorneys for this extended, detailed trial preparation and consultation, in an effort to help you financially. Furthermore, we provided you with thousands of dollars in free legal services throughout the course of our representation. We understand that clients, in general, do not want to spend their hard-earned money on litigation, which is why we extended these courtesies to you. Since your wife was withholding your children from you, we filed an emergency custody contempt petition on your behalf. In order to resolve both the outstanding custody contempt and PFA issues and to save you the legal fees associated with attending two separate hearings, Brian A. Coverdale, Esquire consolidated the custody contempt hearing and the PFA hearing to have both heard on the same day, by the same Judge. This alone saved you substantial legal fees. Brian A. Coverdale, Esquire obtained outstanding results with regard to both issues, which included the court awarding you legal fees in the amount of $1,800.00 to be paid by your wife to my office (as was explained to you that day and on subsequent occasions, thereby resulting in your incurring reduced fees for the representation you received), dismissal of the PFA petition against you, and your wife being handcuffed and removed from the courtroom and incarcerated until the immediate return of your children to you.

With regard to your request for the return of the $6,000.00 retainer and the “silent reply” received in response, this is absolutely untrue. First, $1,706.00 of the $6,000.00 you paid went toward your outstanding bill. Second, your bill and the services rendered were explained to you in great detail by different members of our firm; you just refuse to accept our explanation of your billing. We are a business like any other, and when services are provided, we do charge for those services. We saved you substantial legal fees in the following manner: A) Consolidated both hearings to be heard on the same day before the same Judge. B) We did not charge you for the 2.2 hour consultation to prepare you for these hearings. This consultation included myself and Brian A. Coverdale, Esquire, both free of charge. C) You were awarded $1,800.00 in attorney’s fees as a result of Brian A. Coverdale, Esquire’s representation of you. D) My office provided thousands of dollars in legal services at no cost to you. E) Despite two members of our office explaining your invoices to you and despite your conversations with Brian A. Coverdale, Esquire regarding the results of the hearings, we believe that you still do not understand that you received outstanding results at minimal cost, let alone all of the other legal services, which were not related to the hearings, that were provided to you at no cost. F) You chose to proceed with Brian A. Coverdale, Esquire, the “junior attorney,” at a lower hourly rate, rather than continuing the hearing one week to allow me to attend your hearing, which would have been at a higher hourly rate.

I understand you are frustrated that the conflict with your wife has created so much litigation, but we provided competent and effective legal services, which you asked us to provide on your behalf. In many cases, for valued clients, we provide an added benefit and do not charge for work performed by our office, and we did so in your case. Most clients appreciate that courtesy.
