Atticus Family Law, S. C.

I hired Atticus in a custody case following my divorce. My ex had clearly breached our decree by moving out of state weeks after the divorce was finalized. After working with Matt it was clear that we had all of the information and details to fight a very strong case. As we approach our motion hearing Matt suggested that we delayed submitting our documents till the last minute to keep the opposing side on their toes. As a result, once we arrive in court the judge and opposing attorney were very upset about the way we handled our filings. The judge would not listen to our arguments and I don't think he even read them. We literally never discussed my child or the issue at hand, I sat back as I watched my lawyer and the other fight back and forth about how documents were filed. The judge gave us the option to go to trial and I took it. This would have resulted in tripling my attorney fees with a multi day trial, which in my mind the case should have been closed out the first attempt. I was able to settle outside of court because my ex knew in a trial she was going to lose big (what my attorney should have done the first time we were in court). After all was said and done I spoke with Matt and we agreed on a discounted amount that I owed the firm due to my disappointment. Matt informed me that he would send me the billing information, he never did. I chose to wait until he came asking for money rather than offering it up since my service was so poor and I had no idea what the total was. Six months later his office reached out asking me to pay. I was in the process of selling my house and we agreed that I would pay a monthly fee until my house was sold and at that time I would pay in full. I paid the two and half months in one lump sum and several weeks later, to my surprise, Matt put a Lien on my house causing issues with my pending sale. As I explained to Matt, this was one of the hardest times in my life. I was looking for someone to partner with and from start to finish I struggled to feel comfortable with the process and my representation.

After interviewing four different attorneys, I had no doubt that not only did I want Matt to represent me in court, but also to work with me through the divorce process. I require a little more time to make decisions than most and the staff at Atticus Family Law really have a knack for working around their clients needs. I went with my intuition on hiring the firm and it really worked out in my favor. Looking back, I have no regrets and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs this type of assistance.

If I was asked to rank Atticus Family Law on a 10 scale, I would give them an 11. Choosing to end my marriage was a difficult and personal decision, and Atticus made the process seamless from beginning to end. When I met Matt at the beginning of my process, he offered me empathy, common sense, and expertise. Having two small children, their best interest was my top priority. Matt was very focused on making sure that the outcome of the divorce would protect the best interest of my children not only now, but in the future as well. As the divorce process moved forward, there were no surprises. I was always kept up to date by the law firm on where things stood and what to expect next. I feel so grateful to have chosen Atticus Family Law as my divorce attorney during one of the toughest periods of my life. Today, I have peace of mind knowing that my and my children's wellbeing are secure.
