I retained Cary Alan Cliff to represent me in a dissolution of marriage case. Unfortunately, my experience was profoundly disappointing due to his lack of professionalism, communication, and effectiveness, which caused significant financial and emotional distress. 1. Failure to Communicate via Agreed Method Despite my explicit request to communicate through email (which Mr. Cliff initially agreed to), he later refused, claiming it was inefficient. This lack of written documentation made it challenging to hold him accountable for his advice and actions. 2. Refusal to Consult on Key Decisions Mr. Cliff rejected a divorce agreement prepared by my husband’s legal counsel without consulting me. I only learned about the offer later through my husband. This unilateral decision denied me the opportunity to finalize the divorce on favorable terms. 3. Ignored Instructions Mr. Cliff failed to act on multiple urgent requests, including sending critical communication to the opposing party regarding new terms. Despite repeated follow-ups, he remained unresponsive, jeopardizing my case and causing unnecessary delays. 4. Neglect of Legal Duties I specifically requested Mr. Cliff to issue a summons and place a Lis Pendens on our marital property to protect it from being sold, since my name was not on Title Deed of our marital property. He ignored my instructions and dismissed my concerns. As a result, my husband sold the property, leaving me without a home and forcing me to incur additional legal expenses to address the situation. 5. Unreliable Legal Advice and Lack of Accountability Mr. Cliff assured me I could safely return to my marital residence, even agreeing to be available for calls that night. When the police arrived due to false claims from my husband, Mr. Cliff failed to answer or assist, leaving me stranded. He later dismissed the incident as outside his responsibility, forcing me to seek redress on my own. 6. Inefficient Work and Missed Deadlines Mr. Cliff often failed to meet critical deadlines and delayed important negotiations. He also exhibited unprofessional behavior, including inappropriate language during conversations. 7. Lack of Transparency After withdrawing from my case, Mr. Cliff ignored my requests for a detailed invoice and billing records. Overall, Mr. Cliff’s negligence and unprofessionalism had severe consequences, including the loss of my home and significant financial strain. His actions—or lack thereof—failed to protect my interests and caused irreparable harm. I urge potential clients to reconsider before hiring him and demand accountability for his conduct.

All he cares about is his stupid dramatics & dragging out a divorce as long as the dollars keep ringing up in his bank account. Win or lose he always wins monetarily!
