My elderly father hired Ms. Harrison after his poorly-thought-out May-December marriage fell apart after less than three years. After a massive stroke, I had to step in and represent him ad litem. Wife was having an affair all along, moved in with her boyfriend, filed for divorce and wanted 1/2 his life savings, despite iron-clad pre-nup. It should have been a fairly simple affair but the attorneys on both sides kept dragging it on for literally years - even after he passed away! It took a judge to finally say, if the guy's dead, what are we all doing here? After about 3 years, she NEVER accomplished anything!
I never got the impression that Ms. Harrison took his case seriously. It seemed that she kept us on the hook to scrounge up as many billable hours as possible. Continuance after continuance. Eventually she got busy with other cases and completely abandoned me as a client - refusing to contact me for five months, despite multiple phone messages and letters inquiring about the status of the case. After my final letter firing her, she sent a very personal and hostile letter back with a huge bill of trumped up expenses and a threat that she would take me to court if I didn't pay in full immediately. I did paid immediately, which I had always done with her invoices.
Her website is ""mensdivorceattorney.cm."" but I can't help but wonder if she secretly hates men and wants them to have a bad outcome. Elaine Harrison is not the only attorney that I've worked with in my life but she's the least helpful and least pleasant.
BTW, she received a public reproval from the bar on 03/10.
Cons: Abandons her clients - and then threatens them if fired
