Late morning I received a voicemail that yet again it was being rescheduled and asked about moving it to Monday so I know at this point no one has even looked at my email since I already asked for the following Friday. I did not get back to the office that day but woke up Saturday to an overdrawn account and a $250 charge for a consultation that never tool place and had been rescheduled by their office 3 times and no set appointment set. That charge cost 2 items to be paid and an additional $68 in Overdraft fees which may seem like nothing but for a single mom with 2 teen daughters it is a lot. I emailed her office Sunday, no response. I called this morning and left a voicemail, no response. I am disgusted by the way I have been treated by this firm. They tell me if I don't pay the $250 my appointment is cancelled then I pay it thinking that secures my consultation but nope, they reschedule and reschedule mean while I am out $250 plus the $68 charged by my bank. Now I am trying to recover my funds for services I never received and no one will get back to me. I HIGHLY recommend you go elsewhere for legal services!
In the beginning, she seemed to be on top of the details and was available to meet in person and on the phone to review the details of my case. However, once we got to court, she was very unprepared and basically the Judge had to coach her on what to do! I paid her for an entire day in court, yet got nothing out of it. The judge stated that she failed to come prepared with some of the most critical information in the case.
After the court date, the judge required follow-up from Ms. Hogan. She prepared the documents, but never reviewed them with me to check for accuracy before she filed them with the court. She also never sent me copies of this paperwork, even after I requested it multiple times. Her office staff told me that they mailed it 4 times...and they charged me 4 times. In addition, once I started to question her billing, Ms. Hogan started to refuse to return my phone calls. Her work ethics went by the way side and she started to treat me like I was an enemy. Her billing is always sent 2 months behind schedule, and then she was charging me late fees! I asked multiple times for an explanation of the bills and how much was being applied towards the retainer. The only response I received was that the bill included money to keep the account green. Again, I asked, "how much?" and still never received an answer.
After multiple phone calls, and letters to Ms. Hogan - I still NEVER received a return response from her. Instead, her receptionist started to just hang up on my phone calls.
During the year that Ms. Hogan handled my case, she had a revolving door of administrative staff. On average she had one new person each month. They basically just took messages and relayed information back to me. Again, after I started to question Ms. Hogan's bill, she refused to ever call me, so I was forced to speak with her admin and be charged for this!
Ms. Hogan and this law firm does everything via fax and letters. No email (what century are we in?). I believe this is a strategy to back-date letters to cover tracks for her incompetence when she forgets details of dates, etc.
Please stay away from this lawyer. She is unethical and will bleed you dry.
Do not go with Hogan she is the worst!
My case: Married under 1 year, no community property, no kids.
Cost: $12,600 and rising. Resolved after three years? No!
Avoid at all cost! Hogan is just out there to get all your money, instead of doing her job.
