Ms. Goodbody's services as a Child Legal Representative can be bought. She is corrupt, unprofessional and doesn't give a rat's a.. about the children involved. She will conduct ex parte communications during a legal proceeding (which is illegal) and she will lie during court proceedings, if it suits the party that's paying her. Keep yourself and your children as far away from her as you possibly can.

Made sure to lie to the judge and threaten to make sure if I didn’t do what they said I would lose everything. Most unprofessional lawyer I have ever met in my life.

2017: I was wrongfully evicted by Boulder Housing Partners. They hired Brett Glass. They used a c.a.r.e.n. in the building to lie and say I hit her! Total hearsay.!
I was dealing with 2 injuries and trying to get well. He later took on the c.a.r.e.n.s case. Where they tried to use her preexisting brain tumor as my fault! I could not afford attorney. He also lived next to my best friend and would harass me there. I'm still traumatized by this UNPROFESSIONAL Lawyer.
Later I found out he used the SAME c.a.r.e.n. to lgo after BHP. I guess 'they' finally got "their' money! This guy IS a terrible person. And his mind is all about MONEY NOT PEOPLE....meanwhile still homeless senior.

I hired Bret and paid his retainer. He proceeded to do none of the work I hired him to do. He never returned the retainer and I ended up having to hire someone else. He should not be practicing law. He is incompetent and worse negligent. Should be disbarred.

He completed some of the work he was hired for. When i tried to find out if the job was complete he never responded to multiple emails and phone messages. I can only conclude that he did not complete the job that i paid him for and will have to start again with another attorney.

His free consultation was not, in fact, free: I got billed $87.50 for 15 minutes, when he ran overtime while bloviating without letting me get in a word edgewise. No way I would have wanted to stay for billable hours, but I acquiesced because he put pressure on me to pay, despite me not having pre approved. I then was looking to have document review in a timely manner the following week: he did not return my call in anything approaching a timely manner.

Mr Keane only knows how to bill. After over $18,000 in billings noting had been done even though we had reached an agreed upon seperation agreement that he did not draft and I did not want, but was tired of dealing with my spouse's lawyer and my lawyer fignting me.

Used my out-of-control teen's lies AND my disability to keep me in court (and paying child support to
foster parents and child services). Refused to convey to court that my other kids were in the home, and she let the foster family get away with kicking my daughter out WHICH SHOULD MAKE THEM INELIGIBLE TO CONTINUE BEING FOSTER PARENTS. Her refusal to correct the record cost me thousands of dollars and extreme emotional distress.

Harris represented me in 2006 to 3008 when he refused to appeal . He did not look at all the evidence, indicated that he had a lot of trial experience in probate law which is not his forte, He's a nice guy that no one want to sue but is totally incompetent. His representation forced me to loose all my assets that I worked for over 50 years. He left town while the decision was being prepared. He was with 2 partners who also dropped the ball. He cannot handle difficult cases and does not obtain evidence before the time limit. He does not listen to his client. He should not be in the courtroom as he does not take notes for use in an appeal. He does not prepare for different possible claims. Incompetent is the word.

I used Steven Harris for a relatively complicated arbitration which was before the American Arbitration Association. At the time I engaged him, he was with a Boulder, Colorado law firm, shortly thereafter he left the firm and subsequently contacted me and asked to continue representation in the matter. I had not used him previously, he had been recommended by another lawyer. That is probably when I should have contacted a different attorney. Mr. Harris is without the resources of a firm. I believe he is/was dealing the financial issues of a new practice, the ONLY thing that was done on time were his charges against the retainer; he represented that he could handle the matter for $10,000, it ended up being nearly triple that amount.
During depositions he was unprepared, appeared in jeans and sneakers and did practically nothing. Each of his preliminary matters were dismissed. About a week prior to the arbitration he started to attempt to focus on the matters at hand, unfortunately for me, as he had done throughout the proceeding, he had lost pertinent knowledge of the matter and spent preparation time attempting to find a silver bullet and therefore did not adequately prepare for the arbitration. Needless to say, there was no silver bullet, and the arbitrator rendered what could be considered to be a complete and thorough refute of the case presented by Mr. Harris. I had provided a very thorough set of background documents which were essentially unused in his preparation.
The only matter which was completed was the payment of his bills which were rendered in increments that appeared to be dictated by his personal financial requirements. When the arbitrator's determination was sent to him, he forwarded a copy to me via e-mail and did not accept or return my calls.
Mr. Harris seems to be unable to focus on or handle complex matters. He is a sole practitioner that needs the resources and discipline of a firm. I could not recommend him for any type of complex legal matter and it appears he has no specialty, so if he is to be engaged one should be certain that the matter and work is basic, non-complex and that the work begins and ends over a short period of time.

Don Goulart was my first lawyer. I was naive in my expectations. He warned us that we would have large legal bills, but in the end the only ones we ever had were defending ourselves against him. I used to laugh at bad lawyer jokes, now I still cringe.

Mr. Kumli did not respond to our requests or communicate with us for almost two months and delayed in drafting an agreement which we hired him to produce. We were never given an explanation or excuse. He also did not transmit the requests from the state water board for legal affidavits which were necessary for our case to proceed. We were dumbfounded that he had completely dropped the ball and delayed any progress in our legal matter. His office also double billed us on a number of documented occasions.

Mr. Martinez is incredibly difficult to work with and extremely unprofessional. He refuses to prioritize anyone's needs other than his own, and when his own expectations are not met he responds with vitriol and cruelty. 1000% do not recommend.

He was somewhat knowledgeable... when we could get a hold of him. But that was one of the large problems - he always seemed preoccupied with something/someone else!!!!!

I had Jack Donenfeld of Corporate Research llc to form a Nevis llc for me. I was sending him $2,000.00 every September to cover the fees for Foreign Registered Agent and Foreign Manager/Trust and his fee for taking care of being the intermediary. I sent him $2,000.00 for payment in September 2012. In January 2013 he sent my wife an email saying that we had to send him another $2,000.00 because the Foreign Manager/Trust was demanding to be paid early. I found out later that the Foreign Manager/Trust was dissolved January 11, 2011. The whole Company of Commonwealth Trust limited was in trouble and sold out. He told me if he resigned or was terminated that I would have to get a new Foreign Registered Agent that he would instruct them to decline the work. I did terminate him as the intermediary. I requested that he refund me $3,600.00 that he was supposed to be paying a Foreign Manager/Trust that we didn't have. It probably should have been more since this company was in trouble in 2009. There is probably 30 more llcs that are involved in this deception. He told me that there would be no refunds.

We hired him for a civil case related to a corporate merger. We found his efforts halfhearted at best. He only seemed interested in taking our money, and that he put in minimal effort.

Consulted about potential EPA legal review. Did not seem to be very knowledgeable about ANY of the case law despite making claims of extensive experience. When I tried to end the consultation he became forceful and tried to pressure me to sign a contract. Would not recommend.

This lawyer was late to all of my husband's court dates, he was not keeping in touch with the client/inmate. He did not keep in touch with the family. He did not answer any phone calls from the family members nor did he return any phone calls.
