Went to Hunter because a friend had used him for an adoption and raved about him. He had me track down three years of financials we didn't need (wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't had to pay to get some of that back info and if I hadn't expressly asked the paralegal if it was truly necessary.) Had me fill out forms and wait. I'd call to follow up and they would put me off or not return calls. The proposed settlement was the forms I'd filled up, but typed by the paralegal with tons of type-os. The one addition made was regarding taxes and it would have cost me tens of thousands of dollars if I hadn't switched attorneys at that point. Hunter took my $4,000 even though he hadn't done much of anything, but that short-term loss was well justified. I'm afraid to think of what else I would have lost if I had gone through with the divorce with him.
