I worked very hard to save enough money to hire representation for my divorce. Every month, I received little if any info or representation but every month I kept getting bill after bill after bill. On the day of mediation when my ex's lawyer offered first proposal, I looked over at my lawyer, Christine Holman, for advice as this was the first time I had ever been through anything like this, and she looked lost. In retrospect, I don't think she was actually lost, I just don't think she either cared what outcome was or didn't have enough experience to advise me on best course forward. As you can imagine, this is a very messed up day in someone's life and I wasn't all there, so I was looking (and paying $$!!!!) for sound legal advice. She said take first offer and on that advice of my counsel, I did. I lost my kids, my house (ex-wife) wasn't even on loan, my pension, my VA home loan, my GI Bill, child support.... it keeps going. I stressed and stressed and stressed none of numerous times I didn't want to shell out tens of thousands more dollars to just keep losing. I was met with a whole host of promises..... unfortunately, none of them happened. Every month I received bills (felt like every 2 weeks) for thousands of dollars while actually accomplishing nothing!!! I saved and saved to try to get some justice, hoping and praying I could get something back for my 26 years of service to this country. All I got in the end was bills again totaling in the tens of thousands of dollars over the course of months with zero wins on my end! Not ONE win!! I was just a bill every month after promise after promise. Save your time, energy, money and sanity.... Find another law firm. Christina Holman and the Columbia Law Center will NOT fight for you!! You are just a credit in their bank account every month!! I fear now in retrospect that this may be a re- issue as when I hired them, they were Clement Law Center and now they have changed their name... I'm assuming to outrun all the negative reviews. Find another lawyer or you could lose everything you ever loved or worked for and pay in the tens of thousands to do so, just like me!!! Now all I have is anger and resentment!
