Should be zero. I had contacted Andrea Kelsey several years ago to ask what the procedure was for divorce, she seemed helpful. Well time passed and my estranged husband never acted so it was not my priority. During covid, while recuperating from life saving surgery I was sent threatening letters from a lawyer my husband hired, he told me I had two weeks to take care of this!!! now keep in mind EVERYTHING was shut down due to covid, this was March 2020, several more came, I finally called Andrea Kelsey to reaffirm, I needed to do nothing until formally served, which I was in Feb 2021, on my birthday!! I immediately called her to give the go ahead. The divorce was uncontested, he was “giving me” the house, no problem. When I spoke to Andrea Kelsey she gave me a retaining fee of $1,500.00, she said this was less as she understood my situation. I said ALL I wanted was, the house in my name, the name I was going back to, my maiden name, she said fine and to have “permission” to go back to my maiden name. I kept getting fees for phone calls to husbands lawyer, to redo a paper because they had the wrong name on the form. I finally called and said what is this, I had already stated months back all I wanted so I could not understand why the lawyers were still calling each other, I was charged for that call!!!! September 2021 the new need was done, I recieved notice in Oct 2021, WITH MY MARRIED NAME ON IT!!!!! I could have just done this after the divorce was final as long as I had it in my decree. Then the final decree came from her, it was ripped and had a water stain on it and the name on it is wrong, when I called I was told “This is how your husbands lawyer sent it to us” well not true in part as the water stain was on their letter head!!!. She sent it to me this way, I paid roughly $2000.00 for this. I worked everyday except Friday, both am/pm to live, I have been under so much strain from the mental abuse from husbands, lawyers and still am not in the clear from my surgery, I complained about my husbands lawyer only to be told by the grievence lawyers, he did nothing wrong, so I won’t waste my energy with this lawyer, they cover each other it seems. I hadn’t noticed the incorrect initial on the decree, the social security office did, they were appalled as am I. DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER!!!!! I HOPE SHE ENJOYS MY MONEY.
Terrible lawyers had to sue them for stealing my Mothers money.
No negotiating, no help, lost 1/3 of my retirement every month!! No negotiating, no one stood up for me, no one helped me!
