Urban & Burt, LTD

Although my divorce was finalized many, many years ago, I have to chime in with Jennifer C. & Emmanuel B.: AVOID THIS FIRM at all costs. The attorney I used, Cheryl Zeleznak, was nice enough but absolutely took me to the cleaners. Her estimated cost? Yeah, it was SO very off. I wound up spending way more than the «approximate cost», and while I was moderately satisfied with the settlement as decreed by the divorce, I felt like she was a little too… apathetic, perhaps? Additionally, my «clear cut» divorce (I didn’t want the house, we had no children together, etc.) took for-​ev-​er. In short, all the money I had managed to save over the years? Zapped. Every last dollar. I had to start all over again. The whole experience with this firm was far worse than the divorce itself. Go elsewhere for your legal needs. Seriously.

I would give this firm NO or negative stars if I could. I think that the closing statement of the last reviewer was pretty spot on. «If you want a lawyer who will work for their own benefit, here is a firm for you. If you want a lawyer who will work for you, look elsewhere.»
In short my experience was with Atty Patrick Shifley who mislead both myself and my now ex-​husband. Urban and Burt took thousands of dollars from us, which we paid them to help protect us and our property in a bankruptcy case, except they never did what they were supposed to or what they said they were going to do, they gave us misinformation that cost us dearly and they didn’t even have the courtesy of returning numerous phone calls marked urgent. Of course these crooks already had our hard earned dollars and by then there was nothing we could do. Please do not hire Urban and Burt as your attorneys, do not give your hard earned money to these people.
