Leibowitz Patti J

Refused to tell kids everything that was going on with the case

Was assigned to my children by the court and did not listen to their wishes. After going on a whole soliloquy telling them about how she would "fight for whatever they wanted. Even if it was ice cream for dinner" she did not, infact, fight for her clients. They told her verbally and through texts multiple times what they wanted. She went along with whatever the judge wanted instead. Now they are doing poorly in school for the first time ever, and having behavioral problems. They felt like she abandoned them and she helped to traumatize children for her own agenda. (Whatever that is, I can only guess is being a judge's lapdog)
She's also unprofessional, she only followed up with them at the very last minute during the case: litterally the morning of. She never responded to their texts or returned their phone calls. They were so hopeful that she would help them. They don't understand why she didn't fight for them, but they definitely know that she didn't because she never responded to their texts or phone calls.
Do not use this lawyer if you're looking for someone who actually fights for you or your children. She severely lacks a backbone and listening comprehension skills .
