Burd and Carper Attorneys at Law

Don’t go to Natasha. She will make whatever situation you’re in worse.

I was with them for representation in my divorce case. I spent about 15k to have her paralegal tell me that my abusive situation and what happened to me wasn’t going to matter to the court. I was discouraged from getting a protection order that was imminent and should have been in place. I have been subjected to more abuse for two years until yesterday. I have been representing myself with the evidence I had provided fully for carper. I now have a permanent protection order obtained on even less than what had been currently happening.

My children’s needs were completely overlooked and I felt like our case was just a bill and nothing more.

There was no investment into the case beyond taking information and telling me nothing that happened to me mattered.

I was gaslit by Natasha to the point where she compared my discomfort with an abuser to leaving her autistic son with her husband alone, saying” I wouldn’t be comfortable leaving him with our son without me” as if the separation was a simple case of conflict.

I have no idea why I would pay the hourly rate I did to hear about her personal life in comparison to downplay my abuse and that of my children.

She told me that my marriage would be seen as a toxic relationship and that did not mean toxic parenting. ( I had proof of abandonment, reckless endangerment, intimidation, threats, and more) She told me every case sounds like this, she generalized my concerns, downplayed everything I brought up while it was happening. She would sound sincere while listening and yet there was nothing that followed.

I would like to clarify after speaking with the judge on our case in court that, they in fact, DO CARE. The evidence I had should have been utilized and taken seriously.

I was also told that even if I signed the divorce decree I could fight for the children.

That decree has been weaponized against me in court stating I was okay with what was agreed, when in reality I felt backed into a corner I took on 20k of debt that wasn’t mine to get my ex to sign papers and I lived fearfully until yesterday.

We should have mattered especially when they had no issue cashing in on $15000

I had clear documentation of 5 years tabbed and highlighted and laid out.

I personally went thru over 3000 pages of texts and categorized everything establishing the pattern and the ongoing actions that were happening. I was forced to move from my home for my safety and I was hopeful and believed that I had an attorney that took my case because they were capable of giving us the representation we deserved.

I had heard they were good and I wish more than anything they would have not agreed to take the case, nor the money, when there was never real representation just a string of the court doesn’t care and if this drags out it’s hard on kids.

I will say this, I have watched helplessly as my children have suffered in ways I did all because I was minimized to a participant in a toxic relationship vs a victim in an abusive one.

After my horrendous personal experience, I would not go to them to represent my dog let alone anyone in a vulnerable position.

Mary was absolutely fantastic, I was always informed throughout my entire divorce of what was going on, and the expectations were always presented. I would highly recommend this law firm for family court matter.
