Reagan Law Offices, P.C., LLO

Never followed through with Reagan Law Offices (thank God) for my court ordered Mediation re: continued divorce/custody discussions with my ex-wife and her attorney. Thankfully, they refunded me the $450 down payment I made ($900 total as the opposition also had to pay $450, then, we'd have paid $300/hour after that). Understanding that the current state of affairs with the ex-spouse is nowhere close to a place of entering into even the most miniscule level of collaboration needed for mediation success, I had a few questions for Sean Reagan, the firm's namesake. Most importantly, why would me paying up to $1,000+ for mediation be necessary if things, as currently forecasted, would almost certainly end at an impasse (ie: thus, heading back to court). He immediately took offense to my very simple question. But whatever, I didn't sweat it, they refunded me in full. *Also, as an aside, what is it with lawyers thinking their feelings and payday are the most important aspect of a case...? For my case, isn't it the kids that are the most important? Am I the only person who has ran into this before? I moved on with another well-reviewed Mediation firm here in Lincoln, one that is far more affordable and my early experiences have been quite respectful (although as expected, the ex-spouse never signed on or attended....this being her 3rd time skipping out on this process btw). So back in a courtroom last week, my ex's attorney shared communications/emails between he and Sean Reagan as exhibits for our hearing. Her attorney shared messages and notes proclaiming that Mr. Reagan "fired us" as a couple, due to me (despite me asking out), and claimed that I'd sent him a number of aggressive/harassing emails - which never happened, unless you're an absolute snowflake (again, a classic lawyer being hurt about someone going another direction and their office not getting paid - BOOHOO.). But it wasn't even Mr. Reagan's perspective that upset me. It was instead the fact that he shared such communications with the opposing party (a big no-no for what's supposed to be an unbiased "Mediator" - this marking a substantial break in professional code), and that the opposing party used those words in front of a Judge as submitted evidence. In that moment, I was disgusted with the operational conduct of Mr. Reagan. All he should've shared with the opposition was "Mr. Farber has sought other Mediation avenues....thank you, bye". But no, he got in a little trash talking fit along with a fellow attorney pal instead. Don't waste your time or money with anything connected to the Reagan Law Office. He has no respect for clients who are often times in the fight of their lives. His needs come first. Always.
