Law Office of Darrell E Webster

I dont want to go into personal details of my custody case using Darrell Webster as my attorney, but I want to sum up my experience:
1. No follow up: if you dont follow up with them, nothing gets done.
2. My response declaration was filed 2 days late despite the fact I called nearly every day at that time.
3. Appeared LATE to court blaming traffic. I drove in same traffic and got here early, coming from a farther distance.
4. I moved and changed address a year ago, my address was never updated in their system, they would mail bills, copies of important docs, etc to old address even after many calls asking them to update system. I eventually got the statements after the post office re-​routed and it constantly frustrated me.
5. Last court appearance, Darrell actually created an excuse on behalf of my ex-​husband and caused the hearing to be postponed another 3 months.
What I have learned: the good attorneys don’t charge you a consult fee because they know they can help you and make their income in that way. I never knew that was a warning sign, but now that I do, remember that when shopping for a family law attorney.
If you’re shopping for a family law attorney, you are already dealing with a crappy situation. You don’t need someone who will take your money from you and leave you in the same situation you were in when contacting them.

I have had the misfortune of having to deal with family law attorneys far more than I care to. From my experiences they are trained agitators and are only interested in lining their pockets and have no compassion for their clients. My daughter was going through a very contentious divorce and she required first-​rate legal assistance and guidance to make it through the process and retain custody of her children. I asked an acquaintance who is an attorney if he knew a good family law attorney (my daughter had retained one that was a stuttering fool who need to be replaced). Enter Darrell Webster — from the start Darrel was upfront and honest and set realistic expectations of what was ahead and what outcomes she could expect. It was a long, drawn out process and Darrell and his staff were professional and sympathetic throughout the course of the divorce. If a call was place to his office it was returned promptly and not only were questions answered, they were answered in a straight forward manner that could be understood. Darrell has changed my perception that not ALL attorneys are out to clip their clients. Darrell is an ethical, trustworthy and upstanding professional. His staff has the same ethics and is very responsive. I would recommend Darrell Webster to anyone who is looking for an exceptional divorce/​family law attorney… he really does care.

About six years ago I had some family law needs and a family assist community group in Roseville recommended Mr. Webster. First off, I try not to retain or deal with attorneys. My goal is to avoid them at any cost and just settle the matter without them getting involved. That said, this guy was unbelievable. A true gentleman, honest, calm, straightforward, and reasonable re how to proceed. Nothing he did indicated that his intentions were to just jack the bill up or prolong the case. I did not think any lawyers existed like this guy; didn’t cheat me on my bill and was more than fair; I never caught him lying to me and blowing me off, etc. Bottom line is, if you need a family attorney I would only use this man !!!

This law firm has been insured with CNA professional liability insurance since 1999. Darrell Webster is always prompt and courteous in getting back to us with answers to underwriting questions. I would strongly recomend family and friends to this family law practice!
