My experience with Schenk Boncher and Rypma

My experience with Schenk Boncher and Rypma

I hired Brent Boncher to help me with my divorce. Then just days before my first friend of the court hearing he informed me that he had left the firm. Unable to find a new attorney in such a short time I went with the attorney they passed my case off to. Susan Knoll. Susan was in my opinion horrible. Nothing got filed on time. At court she was last minute filling out forms that should have had been filed weeks ahead of time. At one point she told the Friend of the Court clerk something along the lines of I don t really know what I m doing I just have good assistances. Mrs Knoll billed me for dozens of hours even though I found out later that my ex wife s attorney actually did all the work and writing and preparation of the documuents. From my understanding all she did was copy and paste my emails to the opposing counsel. I did all the negotiations with my ex because they were not getting anything done. So I paid my ex 12K. I have the kids all the time and she pays no child support. And she was billed less than me by her attorney who Mrs Knoll has even admitted to me had done all the work. This woman is either the most incompetent lawyer ever or just flat out lies to bill enough hours. I m not sure which of these is true but one of them is. I would never recommend this firm to anyone. I feel like they failed me every step of the way and I am going to be making payments to them for a long time.
