I'm a domestic abuse survivor who was dped by Toledo. I spent. A WHOLE YEAR. to get help in Michigan with NO LUCK. meaning I was my own advocate caseworker social worker my own lawyer and my own dv advocate. Mr Cheney pretended to be empathetic to my plight as well as fight for at least SOME of my money to be returned from this establishment (as I was sexually assaulted then accused of lieing my child also exposed to the predator as well as being exposed to the maintenance worker who literally killed themselves on property as they were living there and I'm certain that's illegal af) Cheney did not and pushed for settlement stating it'd be difficult. Well it may be difficult but I'm sure if the shoe were on the other foot? You'd be expecting the help that you need. Furthermore he decided to go out of his way with faux empathy leading me to believe I'd be appropriately represented. I was not, nor was I ever heard in my case, except for when I was met with the faux empathy. I even spilled how I was forced to ride with my abuser. No care. No empathy. No change we so desperately need within the system. Just overwhelmed people who won't admit they're too overwhelmed to fully care and solve what another's been through. A lawyer is supposed to protect your rights and Cheney never did that for me. I even tried to offer payment if I received help as this "service" was provided through domestic violence "services" essentially my town had nothing. This lady was doing her best to connect me. And this is how it was "resolved" for me. My car was also damaged on the property exposing myself to abuse further by my abuser, as it's the father of my child. Cheney was aware and didn't fight for my rights or my money to be returned. Especially if you need to pay for this service, I would look elsewhere.
He then also decided to switch to email so he could invalidate my experience with hiring him easier and use that to his advantage to dismiss my trauma and struggles.
