Tamblyn Law

As a criminal investigator of over 11 years, I work regularly with criminal and civil attorneys. I retained Sara on February 16, 2026 and returned all the required documents. On this day, she sent me a total of two emails; the first stating I did not attach payment, and the second email was her acknowledging her mistake and that I did in fact attach the payment documentation. Over ten days go by without word from Sara, so I followed up on February 26, 2026. She did respond same day saying she will start drafting the initial filing. She then provided approximately 1 hour later with the initial filing documents with 4 follow up questions that were already addressed in my initial documents I submitted. I did give her the benefit of the doubt and thought perhaps I forgot to include the information, but when I returned to look at my initial draft, the questions she had were, in fact, already answered. Mind you, as a divorce attorney, at no point did we have a conversation where she walked me through the divorce process and what to expect. She explained she did not communicate with me because she was out of town, and that she thought she told me. I reviewed my emails and texts, and there was no reference to being out of town. Other than our initial consult in January 2026, all of our communication had been over email. At this point, Sara's communication was not prompt nor clear and she lacked attention to detail. She even mis-wrote my name. At this point, I decided she was not the right fit after poor communication and mistakes in her work. I value accuracy and am used to working with attorneys with extreme attention to detail, so this was an unusual experience for me personally. She sent me an invoice for $980. First, she charged me a total of $495 on February 16, 2026 for sending me two emails, the first being that I didn't pay, and then the second email was her acknowledging I did pay. On February 18, she charged me $70 for her downloading the files I sent her. On February 26, 2026, she charged me $210 for emailing me the initial draft that took over 10 days riddled with mistakes. On March 1, 2026, she charged me $105 to finalize the invoice. I have since retained a different attorney, who has been wonderful and prompt with their communication. They laid out the process, and have since had no mistakes in their work.

You may look and say I want to find a cheaper attorney but she was well worth the money. Be honest, she doesn't judge you and wanted the best for my divorce. In the end, my bill was much less than I thought it would be. She is efficient with her time. Worth more than 5 stars to me!

She is well worth the money. Efficient with her time, and cost less than I thought it would be for my for my divorce. She does not judge so be honest. She can represent you to the fullest. 5+ stars to me.
