Hired Attorney Barbara Flum Stein

Used her for my divorce. I felt like she she was working together with my husband's lawyer. She embarrassed me at every meeting with the 4 of us by not meeting with me ahead of time as planned to explain things . She got a check from my husband that was for me but refused to give it to me because I owed her money. I explained that I needed that check so I could pay her. But she refused and kept my check and until it stale dated so that I never received the money my husband was supposed to pay me! I told her during a meeting with the 4 of us that my husband sold and threw away a lot of my and our property. She literally yelled at me saying what would it be worth if I bought it "used"? (That's what he'd owe me I guess) How would I know???? My husband and his lawyer were laughing at me! Then she just said it was marital property so he was allowed. My husband lived in our marital home and for over a year I continued to pay half the mortgage. She never told that I legally I never to!!

Hired Attorney Barbara Flum Stein

Where should I start this lady is just awful. I paid $300 for the office consultation where she explained how and what she could do for me in court. I agreed she made it seem like it was a easy case for her. The fee was $1500.00 I said OK. Before the court hearing I had already dropped off my file in her off which I provided her with proof, text messages, pictures of the other party it meant nothing she never went over anything. The day of the court case she preceeded to tell me I have no case and started talking to me very disrespectful and loud in the lobby. I was furious I didn't understand why would you wait till the day of court and not tell me when I first presented you with everything I had at the 1 hour consultation for $300.00. It's so much I could say honestly she is a liar who will promise you the world until she gets your money and then things change. I never had an lawyer this terrible, rude, and just down right a crook. THE WORST LAWYER EVER! Don't hire her and look else

Awful representation. Nothing but excuses, delays and blatant incompetence. She doesn't listen or advocate for the client. She can't see past her ridiculous ego. Look elsewhere or you will end up regretting it. Very unprofessional.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
