Uma Subramanian Law Offices

This attorney absolutely destroyed my family. She would talk a good talk, but no action or follow through, and certainly no forethought. In court she was a disaster, no facts were presented, just wanted to talk about finances, not custody. She never protected me by petitioning the court to keep the children local, thus allowing the ex to take children out of state. In fact, the fact that I could have thus petitioned the court was not something she even brought up, ever. Numerous pieces of evidence that showed the obvious lying and manipulation of the ex were never presented. In order to save some money, we helped to write the petitions, but we were charged in full for the petitions. This attorney destroyed my parents savings (I am still paying them back) and did nothing, absolutely nothing, to protect my rights as a parent. The good out of this was I realized how important blood family is, and how evil some people can be, not just my ex. Stay away at all costs, she is either conniving or incompetent in the extreme. I was warned to fire her, but I had already spent so much, biggest mistake of my life. I have since worked with other attorneys. The experience of working with other attorneys who actually get things done and are effective has finally driven me to write this review. In comparison to these other attorneys, her competence is entirely lacking, her initiative absent, her ability to be proactive is void. Looking back, I realize that I did all the work, she did nothing, had no opinions, gave little to no legal advice in family matters. I would tell her what I wanted to do, and she basically said, OK, write that down, then her petitions would be what I wrote, without any edits, legal arguments or guidance. I figured this was normal, it is not. Be warned. If you do use her, make sure to put a refund clause in the contract for incompetence and willful disregard of clients rights. Will I ever see any of the money I threw away again, never. More importantly, my opportunities to be a parent were and have been greatly hindered by her extraordinary incompetence, greediness (yes, greedy, no doubt doing things that furthered the legal matters unnecessarily in order to pad her pocket) and, well, it still hurts to this day.
