Complaint Review: Saul M. Gelbart - Stegmeier Gelbart Schwartz & Benavente LLP

Stay away from this law firm. Saul Gelbart is a crooked attorney. His law firm lacks full integrity. All they care about is money. I signed his retainer agreement and paid him $25,000. He promised me the world in my divorce case and that I would get a good settlement and custody arrangement. After a month they burned thru my retainer and asked for more money. They threatened to drop me as a client if I did not give them more money. I ended up having to use all of the money in my retirement account just to pay his firm. On top of that, it was nearly impossible to get ahold of him. He did not return phone calls or respond to emails. He pawned me off to his paralegal. I found out attorney Saul Gelbart was in collusion with my husbands attorney. We were in Orange County Superior Court for over 2 years. At the end, I did not get even close to what attorney Saul Gelbart promised me and it was a complete waste of time and money. Do not use this law firm. Saul Gelbart and his firm ruined my life.
