Lily Debrah Cruickshank & Associates, PLLC

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!! Lily will not do what is in your best interest or the best interest of your children. She will constantly give you a reason why she won't talk to opposing counsel or to the judge during your hearing or trial if she doesn't agree or want to work hard for you. She will say things are not relevant to the case and urge you to settle the case. There will be many many errors in spelling, grammar, etc and I had to ask for those items to be fixed or corrected, but of course she would charge me for her own errors. Do not hire her if your case might be in any way shape or form "difficult." She showed up for my trial wearing Addidas tennis shoes and looked disheveled. During my trial she acted in complete surprise when the Opposing counsel brought up going to court for this previously, even though I told her multiple times about it, as well as being able to look that up on OSCN. You would think an attorney would do her due diligence and research for you, but she won't. I am one very unhappy client of hers, and as of today I have paid her final invoice and called to fire her.

Don’t Waste Your Money or Time with her. Lily’s Office is more interested in processing a LOT of paper work and racking up billable hours, than getting anything resolved. Her documents had a substantial number of typographical, spelling and worst of all content errors. It seems like she is taking old cases and reworking them. Then, after I would bring these errors to her attention before signature, she would charge me more time to fix her own errors. At the prices she charges I should not have to proof everything she does. Errors like the plaintiff’s name were wrong, incorrect addresses, etc. Worst of all, making claims in the pleadings that were not discussed and had to be removed as they were false and would have caused the opposing party to just bury me for making a false statement to the Court. The things I was asking her to talk to opposing council about, like the other parties Federal Tax Fraud, her plans to kill me, hiding money during the marriage, Lily dismissed and said that it was not relevant to the case, and I should just settle. I fired Lily and, per her contract, she charged me more money to do that paperwork even though I had a Pro-Se Entry of Appearance ready and it was not required to dismiss her. I took over my own case Pro-Se and prevailed both in court before the Judge for Attorney Fees and during mediation with the same facts, did not have to pay the spouse ANY more money. Lilys Motion to Withdraw was wrong, as it had my address for the opposing party. She could not even get her Withdraw right and had to file a correction. I wasted over $10,000.00, don’t make the mistake I did by hiring Lily or anyone in her firm.

What a joke for a attorney, for a battle of custody case, i paid for a retainer fee of 5,000.00.after i provided all the info and documents,they screwed me with 1,200.00. I believed it should be a fee for them doing some calls but it's ridiculous I'll never will do bissness with this attorney or even recommend it to anyone.also they'll charge you for every calls a customer makes. Also not recommended for a strong case battle.
