Moxie Inc

"Back in 2009/2010, I was a client of both Kit Thomas and Peggy Cottrell. My father was court ordered to attend parent reunification sessions with me. I was 14 at the time. These “therapy sessions” have left me with lasting trauma that I’m still struggling with to this very day. The emotional and verbal abuse I was already suffering from at the hands of my father escalated during my time with Moxie. Kit Thomas and Peggy Cottrell are not in the right field, and have no business working with children of any age."

"This place is a complete joke and a waste of money like everyone has said. And everything said about Michael is true. He is very biased and horribly rude. My partner had a mediation experience with them and they literally did everything but resolve any of the pertinent issues and completely humiliated him. It’s a true waste of money. The topics they brought up were uncalled for and invasive and had nothing to do with resolving the actual issue. With this many 1 star reviews, they should get a clue and Michael really should be fired. 1 star is overly generous. Avoid at ALL cost and take your money to actual professionals who have some level of decorum."

"Review for Matthew Shore and Moxie Inc. I engaged the services of Matthew Shore at Moxie Inc., for which I was billed $17,756.63. Unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory for the following reasons: Unfulfilled Commitments: Despite promises of specific services, many were left incomplete or not undertaken at all. Communication Issues: Matthew's claim was that I did not facilitate contact between him and my collaterals (people speaking on my behalf). However, I had provided all necessary details as requested in his intake form, and there was no follow-up on his end. Conflict of Interest: It came to my attention that Matthew had a prior professional relationship with my ex in Hennepin County. Both worked in Juvenile probation during overlapping years. This potential conflict was neither disclosed nor addressed. Omission of Critical Information: Disturbingly, explicit photos from my ex-wife were found in the case notes but were not mentioned in the final report to the court. Impact on Custody: Regrettably, based on the report submitted, my parenting time was significantly reduced, leading to less than 25% time with my children. My intention is to share my experience and alert potential clients to thoroughly vet their choices when it comes to such critical matters."

"My husband worked with Godfarb, who came highly recommended. He was awful. Completely sides with the mother on everything. Refuses to let step-parents be part of the conversation (even though they are part of the children's lives and decisions daily). He drags on issues to get more money out of both parties. This was the biggest waste of money and a horrible experience for my family. Nothing got resolved, tension became worse between households, and everything favored the mother. DO NOT use Moxie Inc, and especially Godfarb."

"Moxie Inc. should not even get one star. Michael Goldfarb is who I was trying to work with. I had to follow his protocol for requesting assistance, only to have him not follow his own. He failed to send emails, only to say it was human error. When called out for his error, he up and quits!!! This is just a legal loophole to extort money! My kids did not benefit anything from it. Michael only complicated the already stressful situation for my kids. This is my second try using a PC. The first failed just as bad. Makes you wonder what their intent is? All they do is proof read emails and send you a ton of bills. DO NOT consider this organization!!!"
