My experience with Clearwater was absolute trash. I paid them $5000 for them to give me a lawyer that was on her way out of the practice. She didn’t represent me well at all. I had given all the information possible for her to be able to represent me correctly and she did not. I barely spoke with her 3x on the phone. I received emails telling me my case wasn’t as important as other cases as she was getting ready to leave. I got charged repeatedly for having to resend the same emails & attatchments I previously sent to my lawyer. I was sent an email asking if I’d still like representation by them once my lawyer had left and I marked yes and resent it. No one ever showed up to my last court date. I highly do not recommend them to anyone
Thank you Clearwater Law Group, Lori Mendoza, and your assistant for you service. I went to these guys twice, while the 1st time wasn't to pleasant for me with the many delays because of Covid and bad communication I grew impatient and withdrew. Still in the same situation 2 years later, I decided to give them another shot and it was completely different. Communication was great and all my questions were answered in a timely manner. All scheduled court dates went smooth for my case and was finalized before I knew it with no hassle.
If I could give less than 1 start, I would. For full transparency, I was not a client but very close and very involved in the case with someone who was. They had 3 months and $5000 and failed to filed even 1 thing. Went through the money and then started asking for more when they hadn't accomplished ANYTHING they were retained for. After telling us after they get the information they needed they could file in at most 3 days. They also ghosted for weeks after being asked many times if there was anything else we needed to do and being told no. Then being told "it will be filed Monday" 3 Mondays in a row! They gave no good reason as to why it wasn't filed. Now we have a different lawyer to represent us and the new lawyer said this firm's inaction cost what would have been a very good case for full custody of their children. It's absolutely ridiculous. Being told other cases "take precedents" over the safety of someone's children speaks volumes of what the values are of this law group. Do not use! Avoid at all cost. Especially if it comes to your children. They seem like they just don't care.
Absolutely the worst branch of attorneys and paralegals I have ever come across and a complete waste of time. If I could give them 0 stars I would. I had Christopher Hoxie and he was absolutely awful to work with. I have had a divorce going on for 3 years, and it's only taken this long because I was not well represented even though my ex could not be found. They switched paralegals ALL THE TIME and NEVER communicated. NEVER answered my emails and when I would call, they would NEVER get back to me. Do not waste your time going with this law firm or you will be put in immense debt for absolutely no reason, luckily mine was a legal aid case. The last hearing I had, my attorney didn't even show up too. They don't care about you or your case, they only want money. Stay away.
I hired clearwater law group with no previous experience of the court process. Ms Mendoza was very insightful , explained the entire process, the steps we would take during our case and made sure all my questions were addressed during our consultation. Prices are very reasonable considering all the work & effort that they put into their cases. Even when they aren’t in office they are constantly working on cases; yet they still get back to you in a reasonable amount of time when you have questions & concerns. Unfortunately I did have to sell a vehicle to get the ball rolling but in the end it was worth it. My case went exactly as I was hoping. Thank you Ms Mendoza & everyone at Clearwater law group that helped me during my time as your client.
