If you are searching for legal services I would recommend exploring all other options before looking into Tamarack legal services. My wife and I have been dealing with her case and the court process going back and forth for over a year now. Finally we decided that it would be in everyone’s best interest to hire legal representation and make sure that all concerns were addressed and we could file a proper parenting plan to ease the stress put on both households. After one consultation I attended the second with my wife and we both felt confident that Heath and his team would be a good fit. Despite us having a baby on the way, I agreed to hire Tamarack and finally help our family get the relief we need. We were told a petition would be completed and sent to us by the end of the week, after 24 days and emails for updates we finally received the “petition.”
In both consultations it appeared that Heath was taking good notes and listening to us. The petition that we got back couldn’t have been further from that. It looked to me like the paralegal assigned to our case used a template added some minor details and sent it out. We were told that Heath reviewed and approved this petition but I’m not convinced. The petition was full of errors, things that were simply not true, bad wording, typos, conflicting dates/times, the child support paperwork was completely wrong (which was a major point of conversation during our consults).
We reached out to the office after my wife had spent about 6 hours combing through all of our notes, correcting their mistakes, as well and conflicting items in the parenting plan. We received no communication back for another week.
At this point a month has past and we have not even spoken to Heath once, all time that we can’t afford to loose. We called the office but were not taken seriously. It got to the point where we had to physically go to the office with no appointment to try and figure out what was going on. We simply could not get a response back from them. We were told twice, once over the phone and once when we dropped in the office, that Heath would be reaching out directly to address our concerns. He never did.
A few days later while my wife and I were in the hospital the only communication we received was a email from the paralegal saying that we were dropped as clients. We never even spoke to Heath once after the initial consult before we paid the retainer. At this point the only thing that was accomplished was wasting over a month of our time and $750 out of our retainer for paperwork that we can’t use. We are not a wealthy family, it took a lot of hardship and work to put that money together to try and take care of this. This was a major financial decision for us. We feel completely robbed by Tamarack and our trust broken.
When retaining legal representation you’re putting your trust in that team to represent you in front of the court who has the authority to change your life depending on the case. After the way we were treated and our money that was wasted I would not recommend Tamarack legal services. We now need to take the money we have left and start over.
