FIRM AND THE ATTORNEY John Lavinus and his team are amazing! I could have paid more for my child custody case. Still, they were fully prepared for a show cause for contempt of a complex child custody order after the custodial parent died, filed jointly with the non-custodial party. When I filed inclusion by reference to their answer within the 1st 21 days, the opposing attorney finally filed a show cause for not stating whether or not I still had custody. John Lavinus did a great job informing me and filing what was necessary. He then defended me as I hoped and thoroughly deserved the custodial parent status by opposing counsel and then the judge. I felt that John fought smartly to have the non-custodial parent support her kids and pay child support to me, all that she owed. I felt that John, the firm, and the budget were very worth it. Happy with my Consult and Retainer Sales Joe and his team were beyond incredible! Although I had been preparing but at the same time consulting with another family lawyer when I lost two grandparents in one year and found myself asking for an emergency child custody order based on my child and I lossing the parents (the other parent also lost custodial rights for being deceased). The first sympathy and heartwarming talk was when their team helped me and John Lavinus set up the emergency hearing. I believe that at first, he was supposed to represent me, but then I requested for a full lawyer who was very nice. I felt that the emergency plan was lighter, as I was also in trial proceedings. After I lost the judge say in match court, I also told John to collect the bill from me since the judge warned him about returning to court, hence I was glad to hear that since he won and realized that my then requested meeting of the emergency was meaningless. They were able to send me an invoice that I was able to pay using my current three jobs. I know that the invoice would be a little expensive but then I did not care, as I always know my budget. I was happy because my then requested court hearing was easy as I was able to recover it after losing at that time. I was pro se in my own case and followed through with the good faith attempts to resolve issues before bringing them before the court. John Lavinus was the opposing counsel and the amount of mistakes that were made should be enough to disbar him. Had I not corrected him in the difference between the mother and grandmother in this case he would have been blown out of the water instead of just losing another case. Some of the mistakes that were made: - Didn’t present the correct address to send discovery docs - Got my address to deliver docs wrong…twice…after previous docs made it to the correct address. Go figure that one. - Didn’t check with the clerks for a notice to appear - Often confused petitioner and respondent - Consistently submitted motions and documents without his client’s approval The mistakes were so blatant that I began to wonder if this is his tactic…either take a chance that his mistakes make it through or waste the opponents time correcting his mistakes. I was in front of a judge three separate times with him as opposing counsel and he walked away empty handed all three times…and I’m a high school drop out. What made it all worse was how he deflected it. No accountability. I’m sure that unethical skill set is useful somewhere, but it seems he plays on it to use on families going through difficult times and just winds up taking their money. My ex has a history of not paying anything, if she ghosts Lavinus on his invoices that would be the one thing we agree on.
