Kathryn Wayne-Spindler & Associates

"3 years later and still ABSOLUTELY AWFUL PEOPLE. DOUBLE BILLING SPECIALISTS. THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR NEEDS. HIRING THIS FIRM WILL BE THE WORST DECISION YOU EVER MADE. KATHY does the bait/switch and assigns you KERI the day before court. KERI carries a childs backpack to court, I knew I was doomed when I saw an attorney carrying a backpack. A child could represent you better then KERI. KATHY role is to over promises, under deliver, and over bill. If you are assigned Keri just get out your checkbook and be ready to lose. Keri folds to opposition instead of defending you. FYI. THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR KID. Please Run and don’t hire. Their motto is over promise, severely under deliver and ILL advise you to run up their fees. They are great at over charging you for substandard service. If you are looking for an attorney whose says in court “I am sorry, I am confused” or “I get those confused” this is the place for you. Now after I posted the above review the response from the owner says she is willing to discuss "any charges". A month ago she would not take my phone calls and sent me an email stating she would not do any more work for me unless I paid my balance. I was in fact current on my balance and the next payment was not due until the end of December per her invoice, yet she demanded payment on Dec 6th. Previously I have given her a $4K retainer which was used up very quickly and I was double billed on my first invoice for the same day in court with one charge for 4 hours and another charge for 4.5 hours, I was over-billed right out of the gate on the very first invoice. I knew the $4K was used up or was going to be soon, so I gave her another check for $2K without an invoice or being prompted which in turn made me prepaid for another 2 months. Then towards the end I was being harassed by emails almost on a daily basis for the $ 660 that was not even due yet, payment was demanded before Thanksgiving over and over because "she was closing out her books" even though the invoice was dated to be due Nov 30th and her payment was scheduled to be paid on Nov 29th. I even received a payment email reminder on Christmas morning, shows how much they don't care about you and only $$$$. After all this is when she demanded payment or would not finish the motion. These attorneys obviously only care about money and I find it disgusting. In addition, I was told 1 thing by an associate and she had me sign a document that said different. That mistake in turn cost me another $ 6,000 I had to pay to opposing attorney, and when I asked how could this happen she said that is what opposing council wanted. Trust me you sure don't need a $300/hour note passer that is only going to do what the other side wants. Every move they recommended only cost me time and money to lose over and over again. She was 0 for 5 and I am $20K in the hole. Here is an exchange of emails as an example of pure bullying: Spindler Law Attorney Mon, Dec 2, 2019, 11:05 AM Joe, The answer to your question was sent in the email below on Friday. I started your motion and am in the process of finishing your motion today. pay your current balance of $1484.15 and I will file the motion Wednesday. Kathryn So at 11:05am she stated "started your motion and am in the process of finishing your motion today" her words above. THEN AT 11:22 when i ask when will it be done? Her response is below: Spindler Law Attorney Dec 2, 2019, 11:22 AM depends on the speed at which I can finish the motion. I will check on your payments. Kathryn Owner was playing games about money when she was fully paid up to that point, I paid early and was never late. She made this about herself and her feelings not about my son. Selfish and Bullying me for payment is no way to conduct business. On their description she says they are passionate, aggressive, and understanding. The reality is they are selfish and are complete push overs doing whatever opposing council wants. Please don’t hire. They will only make your legal issue worse and take all your money."

"Extremely impressed with the whole team, especially Keri. She responded quickly, and helped keep me calm thru the process. These are usually not easy times in peoples lives. It counts to have someone solid, confident and willing at your side. I have and will continue referring to Keri and the whole Spindler Law team."

"I am highly delighted to write a review for Kathryn Wayne-Spindler & Associates. I am so glad that I found Kathryn who handled my international child custody case meticulously and I am very much pleased. Many attorneys in my experience have let me down but not Kathryn. She will uplift your spirit and thrive to do her best for positive outcome. She is very skillful and strategic, and she knows what she is doing. Although she is very professional and worth of each penny, she will work to handle the case without making it very expensive. In my case, her mediation is so great and wise in bringing a peaceful resolution. I highly recommend Kathryn Wayne-Spindler & Associates and I wish the best for them."

"Of course We hope we will never need a divorce attorney. If the time comes that you do, check references and make sure you hire a great one. I was very happy with Kathryn Wayne-Spindler. She is very supportive and tells you like it is. She helps you make good decisions without letting your emotions cause you to make bad decisions. Great communication is very important. You will want to know how things are going. Kathryn keeps you up to date with the progress. She is very responsive to your emails. I could go on with more positive comments but I hit the most important ones. You will not be disappointed you hired Kathryn to represent you."

"Kathryn and her associates were wonderful to work with. She helped me through my recent divorce - she was there for me through the entire process, answering numerous questions, providing advice and helping me to make decision at a very difficult time. She always responded in a timely manner and is very caring and sensitive. She's an excellent attorney and I highly recommend her."
