Reviews

First of all, I want to start by sharing that this is the first negative review I have ever written. I waited to write this because I wanted to compare my experiences after hiring a different Attorney. I also want to share that once I expressed that I no longer wanted Attorney Darrow's services, he was very cooperative in giving me my full retainer back, which I truly did appreciate. I am sure many people have had a positive experience with him, however, I feel that I need to share mine. When I first met with Attorney Darrow he was wonderful and I felt like he was going to have my back. I expressed that I had no idea what I was doing and would need guidance through the divorce process. After the first meeting and turning in many of my documents, I didn't hear anything from the office for over a month. I found Attorney Darrow difficult to reach. I felt like I was missing a step and that I had no idea if my case was being worked on. When I called to set up a meeting to figure out the status of things I waited a week for the meeting and took off of work to meet Attorney Darrow. He was unprepared for my meeting and hadn't seen any of the documents I sent him a month prior. He began asking me questions that we already went through in our initial meeting. When I told him (again) what my salary was he responded with "No, you don't make that much...?" He started re-calculating numbers and told me (without seeing any documents) that I was going to end up paying child support. When I questioned him he rudely told me I had not sent him any other information that was requested. He showed me that my folder was empty, they didn't have any of my information that I spent hours sending. I had everything documented in email of what I sent and when. Half of the meeting time consisted of his secretary pulling up all my records for the first time after I showed proof in my own emails. I then shared a parenting plan that I had drafted on my own and asked him to review it and give me feedback. He tossed it to the side and told me that he didn't really have an interest in looking at it and that his primary concern included how many overnights my child was going to have at each place and what the finances looked like. I found his tone demeaning, rude, chauvinistic, and unprofessional. It became clear that he had no interest in fighting for me. I left in tears. In my follow up email to the office stating that I no longer wished to work with them, his secretary was very apologetic and reassured me that the office does not normally function like that. I appreciated her follow up. I would like to assume that the office was clearly going through something at that time. However, it still does not excuse Attorney Darrow's unprofessionalism. The next month I hired a different attorney who was wonderful. The receptionist was responsive, the Attorney gave me a cell phone number that I could text, and happily welcomed my parenting plan that I drafted. The Attorney gave me incredible and honest feedback, made some great adjustments and additions, stayed on top of things, was professional, and fought for me through the entire process. If I would have kept working with Attorney Darrow I would currently be paying child support (which I am not) and would have no individualized parenting plan, which was my main priority for the sake of my child. I see that there are some additional unprofessional responses to other negative reviews on google so I won't be surprised if this also gets an unprofessional response. However, if you are a woman going through a divorce, I might look elsewhere.

Attorney Darrow did such an amazing job representing me for my divorce case that I had to retain him for the follow up custody battle. As always Dwight is fierce in the courtroom and in representing his clients and has the respect from those in the industry. If you are looking for the best to represent you this is the man you want in your corner. Darrow will be tranparent and provide options based on different scenarios that could occur and share in his experience what is realistic to expect. I’ve now faced two different attorneys retained by my ex wife and always feel I’ve got the upperhand thanks to Dwight.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with everyone in your office. You made the process very easy even though the opposing side kept throwing curveballs our way. Your knowledge of the law is very comforting.

I don’t have to worry as Atty Darrow has everything covered. And He’s brilliant.

Attorney Darrow is great! He is professional, experienced, and confident. When I need to go to court I feel reassured that I will have the best possible outcome.

Attorney Darrow and his whole staff were great to work with, they are very knowledgeable and quick to response when I had questions. I am very grateful I had him to represent me in my case.

I was directed to Darrow Law offices 13 years ago by the Pastor of my church. I was a soon to be divorced man with two small children ages 6 and 3 at the time. What attorney Dwight Darrow was able to accomplish for me was nothing short of miraculous. I received primary placement, and financial assistance from my soon to be ex-wife. Beyond the results, which speak for themselves, Dwight was straightforward, extremely knowledgeable, and most importantly empathetic and understanding to my situation. Since that time, I have relied on Darrow Law Offices for all of my legal needs, and will continue to trust Dwight with utmost confidence.

Dwight is tough but also very empathetic. He has served our family for over 10 years and has always guided us to the best outcomes. His knowledge of the law and understanding of the human part of Family Law is unmatched. I would never trust any legal matters to anyone else. His billing is fair as he is always extremely prepared for any meeting and court date. Nothing but 5 stars!!!

Over the years, we have had several businesses. As you know, being in business often requires retaining legal counsel for labor, real estate, drafting or interpreting contracts and litigation. Now, please understand that Attorney Darrow is best known for family law but is capable to handle all legal matters. Attorney Darrow has always been on top his game and excelled in meeting our needs in all areas of law. He has always guided or lead the way to successful resolutions. Feel confident to hire Attorney Darrow to get the job done.

Mr. Darrow is easily one of the worst attorneys I have ever dealt with. Very unresponsive and inattentive to needs. Did not share direction or strategy with me as a client. Even resorted to name calling when I expressed my dislike for his performance. Bills for hours of busy work that has no effect on the case. I would avoid this firm at all costs. Edit; Their responses to reviews also constitutes lible showing he has no respect for his clients

Dwight and his staff are a very professional and knowledgeable firm to work with. I was honestly in awe, watching and listening to Dwight in court. If ever needed, I would definitely retain Dwight Darrow to represent me again.

Doesn't look out for best interests of his client - looks out for best interest of Dwight Darrow. I fired him because he violated my rights. And just look at his responses to negative reviews - he's never wrong and takes no responsibility for his actions.
