Abbott & Abbott PC

Bj and Parri and great at what they do but are even better people. This is something that is very important to me when considering legal counsel. They both as well as the staff seemed to take a personal interest in my case and worked hard to get me as close to everything I wanted as possible. They were honest with me about what to expect and what made sense to hope for and what didnt. They also worked hard to make the process as easy and stress free as possible. Overall i was very satisfied with their services and would highly recommend them to anyone!

Abbott & Abbott mailed me a letter in May 2016. I wrote a review in February about my experience with Abbott & Abbott. They hired an attorney that threaten me and told me to remove my review. I'd recommend checking all review sites and speaking with several people before hiring an attorney (any attorney). SOME attorneys drag cases out for selfish reasons and don't consider the families. I believe Abbott & Abbott are terrible attorneys that care more about money than their own clients. Legal background checks to look into attorneys may also be a good idea, you can find if an attorney you are interested in has liens for outstanding taxes, or any other type of issues. Do your research and find someone honest.

I am being forced to put one star in this review in order to post it. But they don't even deserve that. Worst experience ever! They will promise you anything to get you to sign a contract with them and give them a big, fat retainer. They will fill you with false expectations. Once I gave them the retainer and they found out who was representing my husband, they both laughed. I asked them why and they told me that they were very close friends. I was concerned about this becoming a conflict of interest and they reassured me it wouldn't be. Well, it was! We went to mediation and only Parri showed up and she did absolutely nothing for me. She had told me I didn't have to worry about getting health insurance after divorce because she was going to make my husband pay for it for life since we had been married for a long time and I was a stayed home mom who put my career on hold to take care of the kids while he was always going on expensive vacations with his friends like climbing Kilimanjaro followed by a safari right after just to mention one. She said I didn't have to worry once the retainer was used because she was going to have him pay for my attorney fees. Opposing counsel said no because I had a college degree and I was bilingual and I could get a job and Parri simply said ok. There were so many promises and at the end nothing was done but being left with a huge bill. My husband was only giving me $600.00 a month and I had to take $300.00 monthly to pay Abbott and Abbott my bill. They knew my husband was claiming to make a lot less money than what he was really making, he owns 2 businesses and they did nothing. After 2 1/2 years of nothing accomplished they sent me an email telling me to pay another retainer or they couldn't represent me. At that point I decided it was best to part ways. I requested to have my file back since I needed to look for another attorney that could get things done. I went to their office to pick it up about 5 different times and I was told they couldn't find it. They had misplaced it and didn't know where it was. At the same time, I was getting billed for things that never happened. I had to call and email many times trying to get this straighten out and it wasn't easy. They just didn't answer any of my questions. At the end they just said to disregard the charges, that it was just a mistake. A mistake that got repeated about 3 more times for the next three months. This firm is only after your money, they do not work on your behalf. After I left Abbott and Abbott I hired a really good attorney that helped me get a divorce in less than 2 months. Who uncovered all the lies my then husband was telling regarding income, his businesses, etc. Someone who made sure I was treated fairly.

BJ and Parri are very intelligent and proactive lawyers. Call them before you do anything... they walked me through everything with my divorce. I couldn't have asked for more in a lawyer. Thanks guys.

In the some of the worst days of my life, BJ and Parri were there for me. I've read the reviews and I am floored by what people have said. I've known these guys personally for several years and I know the caliber of people they are. This is a business and they have poured the lives into everything they have accomplished. Everyone wants to complain about fees and/or results.... #1 you get what you pay for. If you are looking for a cheap lawyer, be prepared for a 'cheap' lawyer. As far as results go... you are the product of your actions. If you have lived in a fashion that prevents you from getting your desired results, it is what it is. However, abbott and abbott will do everything in their power to get the best results they can, but they are NOT miracle workers. No amount of money or negotiation can remove your own stupidity. Unfortunate things happen, but if you have a criminal record, a history of substance abuse, or have lived a life of chaos AND HAVE CHILDREN that you're fighting for, you're clearly not responsible enough to have custody of your children and the judge will know that. Basically, do yourself a favor, do what abbott and abbott tell you to do and you will get the best possible outcome.
