If you are in a custody battle and love your children, find someone else.
Tulin took my money and even requested for more money when I would eventually call trying to get an update, and he did absolutely nothing to represent me.There was no defense when accusations came up even when there was BLATANT proof. He actually missed court appearances! I was left sitting in front of a judge and my ex waiting on this man and he never showed until AFTER we were dismissed. That extended things months out. Things went to two years. I expected to have my attorney represent me..with a plan. Little communication.Lots of apologies and never making it right or doing BETTER. I didn’t go to law school and had never set foot in a court room. I have never been in trouble with the law. I didn’t have a clue what to do and I got ZERO guidance or help whatsoever and I came to him for help because my world was falling apart and I was being set up, attacked, stalked, threatened. I made a huge decision to flee a very dangerous situation and I was naive enough to believe the system would help me when I actually was brave enough to leave. Hard lesson to learn that you are on your own even when you pay for help. I gave him everything I had. I hired Tulin praying that he would just tell my story and fight for me and my kids; that he would show the evidence I had. Wrong. I was a single mother fleeing from an abusive husband finally after 6 years. I felt like Tulin not only didn’t fight for us at all, but was actually playing for the other side! None of the evidence I gave him was presented. Not all of the witnesses that drove or flew from 4 states away were even called. Tulin was impossible to get ahold of and never returned phone calls. This was the worst time of my life and I trusted this man with the most precious thing in my entire universe and he dropped the ball. Or gave it away. When my extremely abusive and controlling ex(that I had 6 witnesses show up to testify against my husband of his abuse) was awarded custody because of what I felt largely was misrepresentation/laziness or just lack of care on Tulin’s part, it not only destroyed my world, but my two children’s. THEY are the ones that had to deal with most of the repercussions of Tulin just not DOING HIS JOB! When it was said and done, my ex husband actually smiled at me and said, and I quote: “ You should have your attorney there disbarred”. And then he walked away. That should say it all, when the other side sees how sloppy and poor things were done. I hope Mr Tulin lays in bed at night and thinks about how not doing his job can affect lives for generations to come, but I doubt he does. Oh, and when the judge made a decision, I didn’t get a verdict from my attorney, it was from my ex calling to gloat. In fact, Tulin never called me or messaged. I had to call him and finally track him down to find out what the judge decided. I don’t think he even ever directly spoke with me, but through his secretary. My kids went to a monster for primary custody and I largely blame THIS MAN.
Edited for reply:
Mr Tulin,I actually was a client of yours many years ago.My children are adults now.I didn’t go to law school and don’t know legal jargon.Even with anonymous,it has taken me years to speak up to you and say how I feel.I was a very shy woman and don’t like conflict or making waves.But,this is something I went through in my life that was the most devastating.The REASON I finally wrote this is FOR other women that are going through what I went through.I should have filed a complaint then,but after everything I was so deflated and distraught that I felt I couldn’t take on anything else and I lost faith in the system.I don’t want to attack you,but I do hope my words help you understand that when someone walks through your doors, it’s probably on their worst days and they need an advocate who will go to battle for them.
My ex did have an injunction on him,which you didn’t place there,the police did when I first left.Its nothing if it’s not enforced.I am working on finding peace and healing.
