This attorney in the beginning sounds great and he’s very knowledgeable. But he is only interested in billing you as much as you can as he can. He is unprepared at meetings and does nothing to resolve your case. I have a very simple case and it’s cost me over $20,000 so far. No assets no houses no custody nothing and it’s still going on. I would highly recommend not even walking in the door

I usually don't post reviews but my experience with Eric has inspired me to do so. His professionalism, compassion, and commitment to his clients are second to none. The kind of service, commitment and care you receive is invaluable. Take it from me, LOOK NO FURTHER.

STAY AWAY! A foreclosure was entered against me although I'd received no notice from plaintiff at all. I told Lauterbach I wanted the default vacated and case dismissed. I asked him to contact the Court to let them know we were negotiating a retainer agreement. Long story short, he repeatedly presented a proposed retainer agreement which did not reflect the plan I thought we agreed on, he delayed contacting the Court, then literally hours before we were to show up in Court he sent me an email--at 7:30AM in the morning!--"I wish you luck," knowing the Judge consistently rules against anyone who shows up without an attorney, regardless of the case facts. Sure enough, I showed up to Court alone, and the Judge ruled against me (which is another lack-of-due-process/ethics problem, but that's another story). What would possess Lauterbach to behave in this manner is a complete mystery. He KNEW the harm he was causing. Not only unethical, but mentally twisted, in my view. Protect yourself!!! Pick someone else!

Ms Bilotta came highly recommended .... I am guessing that the person who recommended her to me did not use her as legal representation. During our initial meeting, Ms Bilotta promised the world to me - holding my ex-spouse accountable for their behavior during the course of our marriage, etc. fine and dandy....sign me up. When it came down to it, I felt that Ms Bilotta was working for ex - allowing them/ their representation to make irrational and unwarranted demands for discovery documents and testimonies that they themselves were unwilling to provide. Ms Bilotta encouraged me to provide such documentation even though irrelevant to the actual divorce. The only thing it provided was appeasement to my adversary and ring up a higher bill. Phone calls were left unreturned and emails left unanswered. I had been warning Ms Bilotta about my ex's irrational behavior, but it was not until our last court appearance that she actually paid attention to what I was saying and how to disarm the situation. To this day, I am still questioning whose best interest she was considering.

Cassandra Bilotta handled my family issues in court. I found her to be so compassionate and caring. She really cares about her clients. She is aggressive when needed. I highly recommend her.

By far the most worst lawyer I have yet to come across. Very unprofessional and a big liar. Ms.Watkins needs her license to be revoked. I would rate her a -100 if possible. Do not hire her !

L'tanya is abrasive point blank.! I had instantly check her and tell her you can speak to your spouse any kind of way, but not me!! I retained her services for a landlord/tenant matter in July of 2022. The case was simple! I had the tenant served through a previous service. My plan were to negotiate a surrender of the property. I provided Ms. Watkins with all the collateral for the offer and she failed to even communicate with the tenant. She sent a letter all of two sentences introducing herself. I admit I ignored the red flag of her saying she performed landlord/tenant cases despite being a criminal defense attorney as her primary practice!

Had a very unfortunate experience with L'tanya Watkins. In my opinion, she is very rude and does not measure up to what I believed an attorney at law would be. Initially, I perceived her rudeness as candor and that she would aggressively take on my case. However, time proved otherwise. I found myself given incorrect legal advice, gathering all the evidence and consistently calling her to no avail. In the courtroom, she was far too lax with the defense and seemed to work for her convenience, not my best interest. She lied about promises she made to me when it was time to deliver them.

I would sincerely urge any parent who truly cares about their child NOT to use this attorney. My daughter has had Chris as an AFC for years and for years she expressed that she loves both of her parents and that there weren't any issues. However, in recent years, my ex has manipulated her and attempted to pit her against me. He coached her to make outrageous allegations. Chris formed an alliance with my ex, both encouraging my daughter to keep up the lies. He seemed to believe her wholeheartedly despite ZERO proof. It is so blatantly obvious that my daughter is nowhere near an abused child (actually spoiled), but Chris chooses to keep his blindfolds on.

It is time for Allan to retire. He was constantly confused during our sessions. He made copious notes during our sessions but later could not read his own writing. He math skills are poor and his knowledge is very outdated. he made outlandish statement which once we were using other attorneys turned out not to be true. We eventually were forced to use other attorneys to settle our case and both of those attorneys knew Allan and indicated he was way past his retirement age. All of the $$ we paid him was for nothing. Save you $$!

He is too old to still practice law. He seemed very knowledgable and competent during his sales pitch. In court he would forget details we had discussed 10 min prior on several occasions. In the end when time came for the final settlement he was "ill" and couldn't appear. He sent a young inexperienced lawyer to sit in for him. I ended up going back and forth with my ex's lawyer while she sat quietly. Dave is a nice guy but it' might be time to call it quits when you're almost 90 years old. Don't end up in a position where you can't afford another retainer.

I sat with Barry Weiss for close to six months he’s incompetent, hardly pays attention and even offered to negotiate with my ex wife if I paid him $10,000. Once payment was received under the table to would hand the money over to her and she would let me see my son. I wouldn’t recommend him to anyone.
