Professionalism

Diana Raimi and her associate Shalini Nangia mishandled my divorce case from the beginning. They charged an astronomical amount of money - nearly $18,000 - and accomplished nothing for me. This is a simple divorce, no children. Just a property division. Shalini filed a motion for spousal support that Raimi told me should never have been filed. It cost me thousands and they kept the money despite their bad advice.

Shalini was always confused and lacked clarity in her conversations and work with me. She wouldn't respond or she would call and blab at me just to run up my tab. She never followed through on what she said she would do. She missed a deadline and the court ruled against me. She was completely ineffective. Her knowledge of the law was incorrect. Diana Raimi and Shalini Nangia are arrogant and ineffective. I was shocked at how I was treated, and I'm shocked by their arrogance. I'm actually more shocked at what weak, wet noddles of attorneys they are. Totally scared to stand up and advocate for me. I had to get a new attorney and basically start over. DO NOT HIRE THESE ATTORNEYS.

I will be grieving both of these attorneys and have a list of detailed behavior that violate the professional ethics standards.
