Hope Law Firm Profile & Reviews

I am extremely disappointed with the unprofessional behavior of your team. Yesterday, they left the solar installation work incomplete, and today they were supposed to arrive by 9:00 a.m. It is now 1:00 p.m., and no one has shown up. To make matters worse, your staff is not even answering calls.

This level of negligence and disregard for commitment is unacceptable. I expect immediate clarification on why the work has been left pending and when your team will actually complete it. Please consider this matter urgent, as such delays cause significant inconvenience and reflect poorly on your company’s reliability.

I hope you address this issue without any further excuses or delays.

A cautionary tale if you are considering hiring Jennifer Russell of Hope Law Firm. If you are a father who loves your children and has done nothing wrong other than anger your spouse, then seek help from anyone else. Jennifer never spoke to me despite me asking over and over to talk with her regarding my case. Jennifer took about 15 mins the day before court to tell me everything looks good. In reality, at the hearing, it was blatantly obvious that Jennifer was not prepared and fumbled through her defense of the accusations and lies being told by the other attorney. It was obvious that the other attorney had spoken with her client while Jennifer had not taken the time to understand the evidence of my spouses deceit that I provided let alone to understand from me what my ex may have been telling their lawyer so she could counter argue appropriately. To add insult to injury, I spoke with a lawyer who has over 3 decades of experience in family law in Iowa. That lawyer reviewed my case after the divorce was final and said that he knew Jennifer and knew for a fact that she knew better than to do what she did. This confirmed for me that Jennifer did not show care for my case or me as a person who was seeking help to protect their child from someone who exhibited narcissism and psychopathic traits. In the end, the mother won and within a couple months immediately started alienating me, the siblings, and over the years the mother groomed our child to turn against us. If you truly want someone to hear you out and fight for you, use anyone else, do not use Hope Law Firm, and especially do not use Jennifer.

For the sake of you and your children, find any other law firm because this one will in fact leave you with the complete opposite of any Hope. My divorce of a marriage lasting less than a year and a half transpired from me being assaulted (with my ex currently having criminal charges of domestic abuse/assault with injury and child endangerment), my child being kidnapped, federal offenses and multiple felonies (violations of court orders) taking place throughout, all of which I have audio, video, and photo proof of. Theft, harassment, and manipulation also consumed my life to all I have been told “It is what it is”. Over the course of the last year and a half (Yes, my divorce has lasted longer than my marriage did.) I have consulted with other lawyers while seeking new representation, county attorneys, advocates, case workers, state officials, therapists, and other Hope law firm hirers, collectively, all are in complete disbelief and disgust with how my case was/is being represented by Jennifer Russell and her paralegals. However, in communicating with all of the listed above, this seems to be a very common thing for those assigned under Jennifer’s name. I was lied to, ignored, information was withheld from me, events were prolonged, and communication is absolute trash. Jennifer also put a lien on the sell of my house to which now I can no longer close on because her lien request exceeds what I would get in proceeds from the sale. I lost my son, was forced to pay $923 in child support for over a year on a fraudulent submission to the court from my ex and her lawyer, I’ve lost my home, I’m on the brink of bankruptcy, I’ve lost my retirement, and absolutely nothing was done to defend or correct anything that has taken place. I was in fact told by Jennifer “I don’t know how they did that.” In having to do most of the work myself throughout my case I have somehow racked up a bill of almost $30,000 when in reality this law firm isn’t worth the dime on the sidewalk and that’s being generous. Aside from marrying my ex, hiring Hope law firm is the biggest mistake I have ever made. I highly encourage you to seek representation elsewhere. I wish more than anything I had done so and maybe I would have my baby boy back. If you would like to reach out to me and discuss further reasons to not make the decision I regretfully did, please do: [email protected]. My child and I deserved better and so do you.
