Overrated. Overpriced. Zero Strategy. A fees mill.
I had a very unfortunate experience with Belinda Rossi at Miller Thomson. Belinda and her firm are hugely overrated. The only benefit that I see is the intimidation factor of a large national firm but if that fails you get lack lustre representation, especially if you don't have deep pockets. I was handed over to a junior half way through her representation. She is very overpriced. Take a look at their foyer and you will see where your hard-earned money really goes. Her hourly rate is on the high end but the generation of hours through various support staff is what skyrockets the bill. There is no easy way to challenge the myriad of hours applied to my account at my expense. Zero top line strategy in that she made no effort to find and exploit the weakness in the opposition's case. Everything is family law. My case had an important and exploitable small business component that was ignored. All of this led to a tsunami of very bad legal representation. I got out just in time before she added another $150K to my divorce. There was no choice for zero stars.
