Hibberd Paul V Atty

When my ex husband lied about me to the judge and went to court without me knowing, I hired Paul Hibberd to represent me. He recommended an agreed order. The agreed order was completed and accepted without any issues and I was pleased. However, I was called by the secretary while at work and asked if I would drive the agreed order into court, half an hour away. I said no and it was then filed electronically. I then asked for a custody arrangement to be drafted. He took a stock custody form and changed some words around, even forgetting to change some «children» to «child», which I had to point out. There were multiple emails due to his incapability to understand. I had to tell him my child’s birthday twice. He added an unwanted paragraph halfway through drafts which I had to ask him to remove several times. I explained what I needed regarding a specific paragraph several times and he did not seem to understand, which resulted in emails back & forth to correct it. He asked me to consult with my ex, which I did not want to do. The office would not provide me with a breakdown to show my time/​money spent when I asked for it to gauge my budget. I was billed $ 2500+ total for the agreed order and custody arrangement, which has never been signed or put into court; evidently it is still sitting unsigned at my ex husband’s lawyer’s two months later. I terminated the contract after receiving the bill, explaining that it was much higher than I expected. He is the absolute worst at communicating. I definitely do not recommend this lawyer to anyone.
