Law Office Of Kristine A. Michael, Pc

Like others said.... she signs people up for a non refundable retainer and then shes difficult to get ahold of, if at all. I don't mean she didn't return my phone call or email that day, week or even month. She doesn't respond for 3, 4 or even 7 months at a time. I only looked at the reviews after I signed the fee agreement and paid the retainer. She didn't respond to preliminary objections for 7 months! She completely disregarded my emails asking her about it. She once sent me someone's else's documents by accident. She's scamming people and taking advantage of them. I filed a complaint with the PA disciplinary board. It was very effective. It took some time for them to respond but they were very helpful and they truly want to hear about these cases. They don't take these things lightly. She did refund my retainer after that and sounds like she's violating several 'professional rules of conduct'. I would suggest googling that. She shouldn't be treating clients like this. We pay good money for representation. We expect a educated, professional to represent us. My name is easily Googled. Feel free to reach out. I'll help out any way I can. She needs to be held accountable for her actions (or lack of action). Don't let her continue to take advantage of you or anyone else.

Worst divorce lawyer ever. She charges a large hourly fee for not having top notch knowledge for a lawyer. Tried to charge me for things she didn't even do for me. Waisted 3 years with this woman after 21 year marraige. Finally I got divorced, but she didn't fight for what I was really deserving of. If your looking for a divorce lawyer, pass her by. I do not recommend her. Many regrets!

Like others said - highly ineffectual, terrible with being responsive, more confrontational with her own clients than opposing parties, opting for a path of least resistance and effort. Lacks competence and knowledge - for the kind of money she charges you can find a rock star, not some part-time-law-hobbyist who misses important court dates.

Do not hire this lawyer!! Took my daughter’s money and accomplished nothing. Had to hire a new lawyer to start all over again. Waste of time.

She took that retainer and ran with it. Thanks Paul for all the help!
