Many of the lawyers working with these organizations have enormous case loads and may not be able to give your case the attention YOU deserve. You may be surprised what reasonable rates Cynthia D. Samuel charges for divorces, especially uncontested divorces. Call if you don't want your name to go on a waiting list, and if you can pay something, you may be surprised.
