Berkich Lucey Law Group

"If you're looking for good, responsible divorce representation, keep looking. I hired this firm based on all these good YELP reviews. Divorce is a terrible, emotional time. You need a firm that listens. You need people that can empathize and explain the process. The people at this firm have all the degrees and mediation training certificates, but they are very insensitive to their clients. First, after your $300 consult (paid in advance), no one at the firm will talk to you unless you give them $8,000 up front. Desperate for representation, I got them the $8,000 via my ATM card. Oh, they had to charge me a $300+ ATM processing fee for for paying cash. We had to wait a few days until the full amount was in the bank. They wouldn't talk to me when the first $4200 was already in their bank, they waited for the next $3800 before starting. If your balance goes lower than $3,000? You guessed it, work stops until you get them more money. I told them my wife filed a fictitious Temporary Restraining Order (TPO) to get me out of the house (she changed the locks) and could they help me with the upcoming hearing? The answer was no for three reasons. One, everyone in the office was on vacation. Two, that would require a whole separate retainer structure. Three, they really were not that interested. So, I represented myself at the hearing and won easily, the TPO was immediately dismissed. Then came my experience with Megan Lucey and Megan Dowd. My attorney Meghan Lucey couldn't talk to me, she was always busy, so all my work was with Megan Dowd, the paralegal. I was upset on a call one day and Megan said I raised my voice (trust me, it wasn't that bad) while recounting my divorce frustration, and that was not allowed. I apologized but the law firm put me on "probation." Not to worry, Megan Dowd didn't last at the firm. I sent her some emails and soon there were no replies. Finally Megan Lucey the attorney said Megan Dowd was no longer there. No explanation. So the person who knew my whole story was now gone in the middle of my case. Anyways, bottom line, I spent $13,000 over four months with this firm and they couldn't even get my personal effects out of the house. They couldn't get me my coat, my computer or even my printer. I work for myself! I would finally get access to my separate property months later through another attorney. They couldn't even get me to the Case Management Conference. I also found it unprofessional that my attorney, Megan Lucey, insinuated that my friend that was helping me with my divorce was really my "girlfriend" as she put it. (that's right, in quotes, in the email). After that email (she refused to get on the phone with me) she asked me to go find other legal representation. I pulled the plug shortly after that, then had to make numerous phone calls to get my balance from Berkich Lucey refunded. Anyway, that was my experience. I have all the rude, curt emails from Megan Lucey regarding my case. Just send me a note and I'll send you the complete PDF file. Attorneys love to have proof to substantiate their case, well, I have it. If you're looking for a great divorce attorney, I would totally recommend Monica Caffaratti. She's located in Reno too. Her and her staff are amazing, they explain everything, you get fast responses, they are amazingly efficient. I can't say enough good things about them."

"Filing for divorce is never something that one enters into lightly. Retaining Megan Lucey to represent me in this case was the smartest decision I made in navigating this difficulty process. She and her staff worked tirelessly to support me both legally and emotionally through every decision. They prepared me for all possible outcomes, and they never lost sight of what was most important me, the well-being of my child. I have every confidence in Megan, and the entire staff of the Berkich Lucey Law Group. Should you ever need their services rest assured that you will be in the care of a practice that is ethical, astute, and relentless in working for your best interest. Doctor Abigail Sargent"

"At the Berkich Lucey Law Firm, I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. For the last 8 years I have needed Lauren's services and as always the service exceeds my expectations. At any time I need them they are always available to help quickly and a high level of professionalism. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained... I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thanks guys!!!"

"I hired Lauren for my custody case, which also dealt with out of state ordeals, and I couldn’t recommend her more than enough! Lauren and any of the other staffing worked with were amazing with the entire process. They are truly worth every penny spent! I felt I could have any question answered in a timely manner and with thorough explanations. I also felt she did her best to walk you through any possibility and then how she will work towards getting your desired outcome. The process of custody or divorce is grueling but this office does their best to make the process as easy as they can for you!"

"This was probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to go through. I googled for divorce attorneys and Berkich Lucey law group came up and I took a chance. I am so thankful that I did because I was so thankful to have Lauren and her team by my side. Lauren had my back and my best interest at heart. This was a very lengthy and hard case and she always made me feel at ease. Everything was always so organized and Lauren and her team were always so responsive to any questions or concerns I had. I know I would not be where I am today if I didn't have Lauren to guide me through it all. This also was going on all through covid and when the shut downs were occurring. Nothing was ever paused and she kept things going the whole time. I would recommend Lauren and her group to anyone that is going through a divorce or family matters. The office is in a good area, always clean and the staff is so friendly and always did an amazing job at calming my nerves. Thank you Lauren to you and your staff for helping me through a very long and emotional year and a half."
