“Attorney House was one of a few possible attorneys I needed for my uncontested divorce with child case. Attorney House and her team, including Murpha, Sheridan, and Jessica, were all very helpful.

She and her staff were communicative and available to answer any clarifying questions I had. I'd recommend Attorney House immediately to anyone with an uncontested divorce with children.”

“While I am sure she does a good job I disnt have the beat experience. I explained to her my case and she ended up making it seem like it was so urgent and was going to be hard even told me I could lose custody of my son due to the interrogation questions/discovery. She wanted $15,000 up front as a retainer. Which is extremely excessive. I tried to get her to come down hut she would not. She did say I could pay $10k and $500/month so she was somewhat reasonable but it was just too much. I went to another attorney with a free consultation mind you, and my case got settled in a week so nothing she said was going to happen, happened. I only had to pay them $3k and I got majority of it back. She was very nice to speak with but I just think she increases the urgency so that you have to pay more. Maybe its a worst case scenario type of structure but it ended up not being anything she said. If she had looked at the case as well she would've seen that the interrogatories were not even filed correctly and didn't even count in my case so the urgency again just was not needed.nnUpdate 4/27nI recently had a follow-up phone call with Ms. House regarding my original review, and I am updating this to reflect my full experience.nnMy review was based on a consultation, and that is still a valid experience to share. I am not questioning her demeanor--she was polite during our interaction--but my concerns remain the same, particularly regarding cost transparency and how information was communicated to me.nnDuring our initial call, I explained that I had received interrogatory questions. During that conversation, I was told multiple times that I could lose custody of my son if I did not respond. That was not presented as a general risk--it was communicated in a way that created a strong and immediate sense of urgency. I was also told that this is a tactic her firm uses to catch people off guard, especially when they are filing pro se. That context is important, because it directly influenced how I understood the situation at the time.nnAfter retaining a different attorney, I learned that the documents in question were not filed correctly. Although we still chose to respond, the situation was not as urgent as it had been presented, and my case was resolved shortly after.nnI also previously acknowledged that she was willing to reduce her retainer from $15,000 to $10,000. However, that is still a significant upfront cost, and it was the primary reason I chose not to move forward, as I had initially filed on my own due to financial constraints.nnWhat prompted this update is that I was contacted and asked to modify or remove my review. I do not agree with that approach. Clients should be able to share their experiences--whether from a consultation or full representation--without being contacted and asked to change their feedback.nnFor that reason, I am standing by my original review. This update is to provide additional context so others can make informed decisions based on my experience.”
