Hired Attorney

My review should be extreme. I will spare anyone who reads this. I contacted him for representation in a high net worth divorce, 2022. My divorce included infidelity (EVENTUAL MARRIAGE FOR 4 MONTHS BEFORE DEATH THAT BROKE MY HEART), cancer, and my own subsequent cancer diagnosis. Ordway advised me to sign documents without 2nd arbitration, he did not provide for my home Deed to withstand, which was Joint Tenancy With Right of Survivorship because he did not know current rulings, and he did not even provide for the 2.2 million dollar life insurance I should have received. I could go on. DO NOT ENGAGE HIS SERVICES.

Ordway, as well as his staff, was always nice at the beginning for a new client. But he essentially does not work hard for you while charging you tons of money. He often negotiates a very bad deal (because he is very lazy), while giving you an impression that he achieved "favorable results" for you. When he responds to your questions, the answer is always short and oftentimes misleading (but you would have a good impression because he is a smooth talker). When the other party is very tough, Ordway really do not fight for you, although he pretends he does. My divorce ended up with a very bad deal (I did not know at the time). To this date, I still have another (good) attorney to clean up his mess. Do not throw away your hard earned money for his bad services, especially when his services are deceptively adequate.
