Koestner & Shahon, Attorneys at Law

"$5000 Paid, No Results, No Accountability" I hired Caitlin Koestner and paid a $5000 retainer to help with a straightforward custody issue. I am a responsible father with joint custody, simply trying to secure fair parenting time with my son. We were never married, there were no property issues, and no financial entanglements. This was a basic request for shared time. What I got instead was minimal communication, no court filings made on my behalf, and no progress toward resolution. The response from the attorney after I expressed my frustration was to blame the court and the opposing party, while taking no responsibility for the lack of results. I was presented with an unexpected invoice without warning, even though no substantial legal action had occurred. I was also told to file paperwork myself to continue without her. This entire experience has been disappointing and disheartening. I came to Caitlin for support in one of the most important battles of my life — the right to be present in my son’s life — and I was left feeling like I had to do it all myself. If you are a parent seeking real advocacy, honest communication, and someone who will fight for your rights, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere.
