Law Offices Of Sidney B Unrau

Reviews

Sid was my lawyer in my divorce 4 years ago. He arrived unprepared for my specific case, didn’t stand up for me when I should have been fought for, and wanted me to settle for a ridiculously low deal. Everything good that came from the settlement came because I stood up for myself—not just to my ex, but to Sid too. Since then, I have found out that information he gave me was incorrect, but it has influenced the last four years. I have dealt with long term negative consequences from having him as my lawyer and if I could give him 0 stars I would. I have never left such a harsh review, but I don’t want others to be in the same situation. If you’re new to standing up for yourself, this is the last lawyer you want.
Office staff seldom answered the phone, never returned my calls. Although Sid is a nice guy, he gets sidetracked frequently and wasted time that I paid for to talk with him. Some of what he did during the divorce process was helpful, but I have a massive issue with how he handled the mediation. If you are leaving an abusive husband, he does not understand that type of situation. He was sympathetic towards my abusive husband I had a restraining order against and argued with me FOR his side, even arguing with me to give him FIREARMS. Yeah, scared he'll kill me and Sid wants me to split the guns with him. Refused to listen to my concerns--even got angry with me about it. I would not recommend him unless you KNOW that your divorce will be amicable.
If you want a lawyer that will not return phone calls, emails in a timely manner Sidney is the right Lawyer for you. If you want a lawyer who listens to you, then talks about himself or ALL the worst case scenarios that could happen for the bulk of your time together, then Sidney is the right Lawyer for you. If you want a lawyer that is reasonably priced, but is easily distracted and isn't good at updating you in a timely fashion, then Sidney is the right lawyer for you. We wasted over 1,500 dollars and got nothing out of it. Sidney wasn't the right lawyer for us.
Attorney is great!! But the office staff never answer the phone or return my calls. Iv called multiple times with trying to get an appointment set up for a family member and the office has not returned any of my phone calls in the last 3 months! Its really frustrating cause Sid is amazing but unfortunately breaks the ice for this one because i can never get a hold of the office.
Great attorney! His firm helped with a difficult situation! He kept great contact and had all the information that was needed!
