If I could give him a negative 5 stars I would. I hired Mr. Durham to help with a custody case for my daughter when she was about 11 months. My initial meeting with him went well and made it sound like he knew family law well. Come to find out family law is not his experience at all.
I am a single mom working full time to support my daughter and don't receive any child support or help from the father, so I was really counting on getting an order in place requiring my ex to pay child support. The entire time I had to work with Mr. Durham was stressfull and aggravating. He would never return phone calls and only returned my emails after 3 -4 emails sent to him in a period of 3 weeks. This was the usual for him and not just a rare occurrence. He never would really explain to me how the family court system works and that is because he doesn't know family law and wouldn't admit it.
My first court appearance Mr. Durham doesn't show up, call or even apologize after missing the first hearing. He then hires a different lawyer to appear at my rescheduled hearing.
I initially paid him $2000 and after working with him and not seeing any results and realizing I am getting no where on my case I decided to seek new council. I asked him to send me a statement twice via email and several weeks later I got one in the mail.
He is a fraud and clearly took the case for the money. He is completely inept with Family Law and took advantage of my situation.
