Unethical and not knowledgeable of the law. Mrs. Hazlett took our child support arrearage case saying it would be simple, we are clearly right, and was a matter of mathematics. Although not her fault for taking 3 years and not being simple she did demonstrate a lack of professionalism throughout the entire engagement. The judgment against us was based on a black and white ORS that any lawyer in the field should have known by heart. She then offered to appeal this no win case for and additional $10,000. She had not noticed my income was $200/month the entire engagement? This is after taking over $2,000 for fees over the first part of the case. She also moved during the engagement and I did not know until showing up to an empty office to pay additional retainer. I am not giving her one star because we lost only because of her lack of true professionalism. She has also kept billing an additional $250 to close the case which she will not waive. There are better lawyers in the RV for the same cost.
Jessica Pedemonte was super helpful, affordable, & had great ideas for avoiding trial in my case. Took the time to listen, acted on facts, used ethics - mind boggling for an attorney I know. I would make sure if you work with them you only hire her, however.
I insist you keep looking for representation or file with the courts yourself and save money. There were several occasions where Ms. Pedemonte was not "aware" of certain important things pertaining to my case. Due to this reason, additional paperwork needed to be filed or redrafted which took more time and money. I recommend taking your own notes at every face to face meeting with her and then having her review and sign them. Or just insist on an email confirming everything that was discussed. Not all details of my case were discussed in emails and the notes she took face to face apparently did no good to remind her. Things such as receiving half of the financial assets and having my name changed after the divorced, which both were very important to me and discussed during face to face meetings, were either overlooked or forgotten. I wonder if not as much effort or detail was put in to my case as others who were paying the $250 per hour rate. The sliding scale they have allowed me to receive service at a $150 per hour rate, but the extra money was made to due to the mistakes that were made and the time it took to fix them. Other than those things, Ms. Pedemonte and staff responded in a reasonable time to emails and questions I had regarding my case and billing. The staff had acceptable customer service and were friendly when I came in to pay. Jessica herself was not particularly friendly, which was not a super important quality in a lawyer for me, but was not rude either. If filing for divorce again, I would choose a different office for representation. Or do it myself, now that I know the court clerks will assist with getting the proper paperwork to fill out, it seems like a navigable process. Good luck with your legal issues.
We hired Jamie for a complicated custody battle. She did not listen and did things that actually made the entire thing even harder than it already was. Worse, her actions and failure to really care put a 9 year old in a dangerous position. She also overcharged us for things that she did not do and things she did incorrectly. If you have children, do not hire Jamie. She has only her own best interests at heart.
I would recommend Jamie to anyone who asks. She was straight up and honest and I have no doubt she was worth the money I paid. My situation took a 180 degree turn for the better and I would go to her first if I ever needed her again (hopefully not).
