Hope Law Group, P.C.

Before hiring this firm make sure to read thoroughly all the reviews. If I could give this firm a negative 5, I would!. I hope you’re able to stick to reading this review entirely as it’s long!. My experience with this firm has been an absolute nightmare from the moment hearings were scheduled. Communication was hard to get as I was often reaching for clarification or status of the case and invoices were often sent with amounts ranging from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. I had hired Jennifer to represent my case all the way from California. I Provided years and years of documented evidence regarding my case and yet I would still received emails from her assistant asking what evidence I would like to be submitted for the court days prior to the hearing, and even so, none of that evidence was actually presented to the judge/ Judges. Jennifer believed wholeheartedly that the case was going to be won based on the other parties actions a year prior. Jennifer failed miserably to work on my behalf to ensure that the case was going to protect my children. After the final trial, Jennifer deliberately lied to me inside the court room and said the judge wanted to allow the other parent to finish the schedule parenting time, followed by a court letter the following day from her assistant stating the opposite and returning the minors to the other parties care. I was then hit with an invoice totaling over 9k for that trial that had to continue a week later with another invoice for half the amount of the previous one. The financial strain this firm put me in though has affected more than my mental health, my former marriage fell through due to all the stress and time off work putting my family and children in California in a financial strain, from all the time I was taking off work unpaid to go to Iowa and be present for hearings-now leading me to a second divorce. Soon after the final trial, I formally fired Jennifer and her services; I should have done sooner, because the best she could do for me was referring me to another attorney that could take the case to appeals. She offered a 30% off discount the entire bill - only it the total remainder of the bill could be paid in a 6-9 month period. The total amount accumulated which was close or past $20,000 not including previous paid balances. She also suggested she showed up to another hearing to just be there as back up and wouldn’t charge me. If the case was too complicated for her in the first place I don’t understand why the referral wasn’t made soon after inquiring the services. Jennifer or her assistant did NOT throughly evaluated any of evidence i submitted to protect the kids or the integrity of my case. This firm still manages to get paid while clients are left to deal with the aftermath of misrepresentation. This firm is far from giving anyone Hope, if anything they take every string of HOPE from you. If I would have been able to hire Mr. Jason Rieper of Rieper Law Firm to represent my case the way he represented his client in court, the outcome of my case would have been a million times different. The safety of the minors regarding this case and their wellbeing have continue to be at risk, since they were returned back to the other parent. Police and CPS are still getting involved 8 months post the final trial regarding their situation. no one in Iowa actually seems to care to protect the children even when it’s been the children calling for help. Do your due diligence to throughly interview attorneys to represent your case. Not all of them want to work on your behalf. Some of them just want to get paid.

Attorney Mr. Steven Jeau is the best immigration lawyer that anyone could ask for.

I've been waiting for this for 8 years, but this is a lawyer who didn't do any work and just took the money. Never go...
