Go Elsewhere! Constant excuses & delays.
4/7/21: A day after this 1 Star review was posted on Google; the next day several "5 Star Reviews"
appeared. Quite a coincidence. Anyway, here's a true story: Went to Ms. Keane for a pre-nup and
clarification on financial disclosures. Sent retainer and called after 3 weeks and asked "what's
taking so long?" She apologized, but it was obvious that she hadn't even started yet. Finally, I
received an email - not with a first draft, but with a "Disclosure Agreement" that had to be signed
before she'd release the document. WHAT? More delays now - what is this? I just wanted a pre-nup,
not her arbitrary disclosures, opinions, and hypotheticals. So, my first draft was being held
hostage until I signed her surprise disclosure which was never mentioned previously. Additionally,
other issues included: poor communication, extreme tardiness and complaining to get anything done.
Meanwhile, I received no legal advice to central questions and no understanding of my needs. What I
did receive were delays, excuses, apologies, holding back work product and a rush-rush routine. Upon
stating that I would not sign her unnecessary disclosure, I contacted an ethics attorney who was
outraged by her behavior. Therefore, I had to fire Ms. Keane due her carelessness, lack of legal
advice, and unprofessional behavior. The next day, I received a package from her with 30% of my
retainer for a draft of mumbo-jumbo. She didn't even itemize her time spent - another ethics issue.
Interestingly, she included $112 from another case in 2012 another ethics violation. As soon as I
mentioned hiring an ethics attorney, the $112 she had kept for 9 years suddenly appeared. I may hire
an ethics lawyer (especially after she's posted highly questionable reviews) and try to uncover more
of her wrong-doing. I plan on taking to her to small claims court to recover my full retainer.
