Abom & Kutulakis LLP – Attorneys at Law

Michelle Sommers is the worst lawyer I have ever hired. So bad I fired her mid case! She was pleasant and seemed like a real go getter until I paid her retainer. Once she received the money everything was different. She seemed irritated just to answer the phone. She didn’t listen to what I was saying and seemed to care less about my concerns. The way she spoke to was just unbelievable. It was so bad I didn’t even want to speak with her. I cried multiple times after speaking with her. It wasn’t because I didn’t like what she was saying but how she said it, just horrible! I wanted to fire her within a week of hiring her but my husband told me not to because she was supposed to be a «good» one. She said she would help me get more contact with my children but just a few short weeks later she told my husband she had no idea I wasn’t getting contact with them. She said we could try to prevent my children from moving to another school district yet again but instead they moved and I have no idea where. Seriously I don’t know where my kids are living. These are the main reasons I hired her and she has done nothing but overcharge me. I truely feel like I have been swindled. I called the office manager but he basically acted as if my husband and I were the problem and couldn’t seem to understand that I was upset because I paid a lot of money for a service I didn’t get. He seemed more concerned that I said people actually read reviews and what did he think mine would say? Trust me you do not want to hire her for your custody case especially if your out of state. Maybe it would have been different if I had met with her face to face but I doubt it. Long story short she is so bad that I have fired her. I’m so upset now I have no lawyer and the real people that suffer here are my children. If you need a lawyer that actually cares bout your case and your children go somewhere else. She has proven to be just a pure waste of time and money!

My wife and I have had a disappointing experience so far with the firm. We can’t recommend due to issues around responsiveness, focus and clarity to our matter.
