Men's Divorce Law
Firm / Jeffrey Feulner has a clever marketing scheme that lures men in who are
in desperate need of help. Jeffrey Feulner's prices are way over the prices of
other attorneys in his field of practice. He will tell you one price for handling
your case and then will keep billing your retainer until it is gone so that you
will have to give him more money.
In my case he waited until three days before we were do in court
to tell me that after giving him $2,500.00 for the domestic violence injunction
hearing he wanted $1,500.00 more dollars or he would not go to the hearing to
represent me and I had $1,000.00 left on the retainer that I gave him, of course what was i going to do
that was on a Friday and we were do in court that Tuesday so he knew that I
would have no choice but to pay him the extra $1,500.00 seeing that I didn't
have enough time to hire a new attorney and we had already had subpoena five
witness's.
I believe that he does this tactic that he does to most of the
clients, tells them one price and then keeps trying to find any way he can to
bill you so many hours that unless your rich you will eventually run out of money, which means he take's your money that he
doesn't have to refund you and then doesn't have to represent you in court
because you probably have no more money to give him. That's unethical in my
opinion, for example I called his office to ask for them to mail my
all of my paper work back to me his sectary said
they would. The next thing I know one of his attorney's is calling me to tell
me that they would send all of my paper work to me, I asked her if she was
billing me for this phone call and she said yes, I told her that your sectary
just told me the same thing your telling me and your are trying to bill me for
this call, the only reason his attorney called me was to rack up more billing
hours.
I writing this blog to warn people
about this attorney and his unethical practices, he's a very inexperience
attorney that is only in the business to line his own pockets with your hard
earned money and in my opinion has no interest in helping the men that are
coming to him for help in their time of need, I found a gentleman that spent
$15,000.00 with Men's Divorce Law firm and when Jeffrey Feulner wanted more money
to continue the case just like he did with me and the gentleman didn't have no
more money to give him, so his wife got everything the house, cars and children and an
outrageous amount of child support. My divorce only cost me $4,500.00 and I got
everything I asked for 50/50 custody and joint time sharing. I don't understand
why that gentleman's divorce racked up that much money, and when the gentleman
asked what he needed more money for Jeffrey Feulner told him it was to do
further investigation, now this guy had already gave this guy $15,000.00,
that's a lot of money for a divorce in my opinion!
Here's one example of why I feel he didn't represent me in my best
interest at the hearing on December 08, 2009, when the Department of Children
and Families investigator told the judge that my son told her that my x-wife's
boyfriend grabbed him around the throat in 2006 and slammed him on the bed that
she thought that it sounded like discipline, Jeffrey Feulner never said one
word, he didn't object to it, he didn't ask her if that was D.C.F. policy on
discipline, nothing, he just sat there being quite, and when I tried to tell
him to say something about it he told me to just sit there and be quite, what
kind of representation is that. He claims that he is an aggressive attorney
that will be on your side. Not in my case!
At the hearing on
After he failed to defend me from my x-wife's false allegations that her
and her boy friend claimed they went right after the hearing and in
(retaliation) filed two false retraining orders against me, which kept me from
being able to my children for ten day's. I to get the injunction modified so
that I could see my children while their with my mother. It's crazy how as a
Father I going about trying to protect my children the right way and going
through the right resources to do so, and not taking the law into my own hands,
now its been turned around on me and can't see my children and lost my time
sharing for now because of my x-wife's false allegations. Which the judge would
have probably of denied her restraining order if my attorney Jeffrey Feulner
defended me in court from those allegations that day.
Six days after he failed to get the Domestic Violence Restraining
order to protect my son made permanent against my x-wife's boyfriend, her
boyfriend attacked my son by tackling him on his bed knocking the breath out of
him and causing injury to his foot that was bruised and sprained so bad that
when he went to school the next day and was limping and wrapped in a ace
bandage, when the teacher asked him what happened to his foot, and he told her
the school contacted D.C.F. and filed a report, I had to then go down and file
another Domestic Violence Restraining order against my x-wife's boy friend to
protect my son from her abusive boyfriend. After this incident of abuse D.C.F.
gave my x-wife three choice's, leave her boy friend, give the children to
D.C.F. or give the children to my mother. My x-wife chose to stay with her boy
friend and to give the children to my mother!
In addition to this blog I filed a Ripoff Report on the Men's
Divorce Law Firm and Jeffrey Feulner and I also made comments on his You Tube
Video, after he and his office found out that I did the Ripoff Report
and the comments on his You Tube video, Jeffrey Feulner had his office call me
and offer me $1,500.00 of my money back if I would delete the
Ripoff Report and the comment that I left on his You Tube Video and they also
wanted me to sign a contract saying I would not talk about him in a negative
manner. I turned him down on his offer because I feel that he does this to most
of his clients and I would rather people know about what he does then to then
to go to him in their desperate time of need and just get RIPPED OFF.
I was also told that the five subpoenas was going to cost me $50.00 for
each one totaling $250.00 and when his office sent me the bill it showed that
they are charging me $60.00 for each one totaling now $300.00 dollars this is
just the type of unethical attorney he is and the kind of lies you can
expect from him and his office. Do not trust this guy or you will be sorry as I
am, I have spent $300.00 on the consultation fee, then gave him a $5,000.00
retainer $2,500.00 for the Domestic Violence Restraining order, $2,500.00 for
him to help me gain custody of my children which after what he did to with the
injunction case I fired him and asked for my $2,500.00 retainer back for the
custody case which he said he would not refund to me and now he wants $300.00
more dollars for what, when he should of spoken up in court about things the
respondent and witness's were saying he didn't.
I don't believe he represented me in mine or my son's best interest for
$5,600.00 that he say's he earned, if he didn't think so himself he would not
of tried offering some of my money back to delete myRipoff Report and You Tube
comments!
Beware of the Men's Divorce Law Firm and Jeffrey Feulner he will rip you off!

Your story sounds very familiar to everyone who gets ripped off by "Men's Divorce Law Firm". The same tactics that they use to ripoff the client is similar in all the stories I've seen about his firm. I recently got ripoff by that law firm and I'm just wondering how his firm is not investigated for fraud.
