Neighborhood Law Office

I would not waste your time or money here. I'm going to court for child support and parenting time. She said I would not need a lawyer at my first court hearing. Which was wrong. All she did was type up my response. No good advise about my situation. Its like they really do not care about your case or situation they only care about the money. I had to do my own research, pull my daughters dad's criminal record by myself and also go down and file the paper work my self so i paid 1300 for her to type a response i had already written down. I could of did that myself. After court I tried to give them the benefit of doubt and I came to them with the next step for my case which was temporary orders. And the receptionist said I only paid Carrie for the first half I needed to pay more money for her to do the temporary orders. They basically made me feel like they had no idea why I was contacting them. The split up paying plan is a joke. This company is totally unorganized also. I regret that I wasted my money here when this is suppose to be an affordable place for legal assistance. I would of been happy to spend more money if they actually did a good job. I'm happy to say I have a good lawyer now.

Beware!!! Do not waist your time and especially your money on the Neighborhood Law Office. My experience with them was awful, aggravating and extremely painful. I paid them $1800 to begin my child custody case and had an upcoming mediation teleconference call coming up in a couple of weeks that Jim Underhill was adamant about attending to represent me. Well he did not attend the conference call. After numerous unsuccessful attempts to contact Jim (as they do not return phone calls) to find out why he missed the conference call and what was going on with my case, I was left with no choice but to show up to their office to get some kind of response. Come to find out nothing was going on with my case as they had misplaced my file and had no idea that I existed though their bank account was $1800 richer. Jim apologized and we began to move forward. My first court hearing was April 7th, 2015 in which I represented myself because it was a hearing only regarding child support and not child custody. After the hearing I tried for a week to update them on the what happened leaving messages and emails with no success until I had no alternative but to show up to their office unannounced.....AGAIN! Do you see the pattern within all of these reviews? The previous reviews are absolutely correct. They tell you that phone calls and their advice is always free and now I understand why. They are never available when you call, never return phone calls and do not give you any advice that you do not already know. This quote was taken from their website "We care about you and your family and do not prolong your case in order to maximize our billings." This statement is completely false. They do not care about you and your case, they only care about their wallets. At this point I will do a better job of representing myself then the Neighborhood Law Office will do. I will never ever do business with them again and recommend that you do not either. They do not deserve to be in business.
