I hired Mr. Cliff with the false pretense that he was a bulldog who was going to ensure the best for me and my daughter against my abusive ex-husband. He sounded great pre-trial then hit me with a bus the day of court. He put me in tears with him telling me I was not going to get anything I wanted and that my husband was going to get anything. He wouldn't push any issues I set forth. The abuse I endured had nothing to do with my daughter suddenly. When we got to the agreeing to things via a voice recording, he asked me if I agreed with x, y and z which most of which he never asked me and I felt pressured to say yes. I even hesitated but went with yes with everyone looking at me and I felt highly uncomfortable, tears running down my face and stress ball in hand. He didn't get me any back support.
I am injured from a car accident during my marriage and have been unable to work and won't be able to work a little longer to recover from surgery which the law states I can receive temporary emergency alimony but he refused to try for it. He also gave away the rights to taking my daughter off on my taxes ever which was never agreed upon in court but suddenly ended up in my final judgement that I apparently didn't have to agree upon or sign off on so the attorneys could add whatever mumbo jumbo they wanted, which they did and I couldn't stop any of it. It took 4 months after the court hearing to even get the final judgement and my ex got a recording from the court hearing yet I didn't which I needed to figure out what was decided in court and what was not. Mr. Cliff and his assistant were near impossible to get in touch with.
His assistant and front desk clerk were rude the majority of the time. Mr. Cliff continued to talk down to me towards the end. It became very clear that he wouldn't say my ex was abusive narcissist because he was one too. I am now being forced to report him to the bar and take legal action to the best I can as a woman with only a little child support coming my way. If I had the money, I would have fired him before the court appearance which he had tried quitting days before my court appearance and was going to leave me without an attorney all because I was behind by something like $800.
The sad truth about begin a victim of any act, is that you don’t know you’re a victim until the act is finished. Mr. Cliff’s blatant and egregious conduct is deplorable and put an innocent infants well-being at risk. Till this day, to safeguard my child from irreparable consequence, forced me to be dependent on the state and loans to live.
Cary Alan Cliff was aware that my 3 week old baby and I were abandoned in New York by her father, with not a pot to piss in. Now homeless, we were taken in my elderly aunt. Mr. Cliff presented himself as very attentive and personal concerned about me and my child. Shortly after this i experienced a mental break down from this drastic life changing event. I admitted myself to a mental hospital in the state Connecticut, to stabilize my emotions. The next happening is where this nightmare really begins. Mr. Cliff, a Family law Attorney for over 25 years is well aware of the emotional distress that comes from a client that has never been exposed to this kind of life event. With that said I thought I was in safe and caring hands.
While admitted and on medication, Cliff pushed the fear in me, that if I didn’t file in court first, her father will obtain full custody of our newborn. Even more scared now because of what he just informed me with and its urgency; he obtained consent by faxing the paper work to the mental institution. Just for the sake of the reader, I will bullet point he actions. Anyone who wants the whole story can respond to this report.
He knew that this should have been files in New York not Florida and never advised me of this legal option.
He crafted the petition title, so it was not clear in what it was asking the court for.
He manipulated the UCCJEA guidelines to enrich himself.
Throughout the first hear, when the father tried to have our five month old expedited back to Florida without me, Cliff insist to the court, that our residency has been and still is that of New York, but then the hearing of the petition he filed on my behave,
he turns on me and commands the court that I am a resident of Florida because I never change my driver licenses!
Court even questioned weather or not it had jurisdiction of the case not even me because it’s about the child.
Immediately after the hearing was over, Cliff walked away from me and left without as much as half a word or glance.
Fully paid $1500.00, and 3 weeks after the hearing and unwavering attempts to contact him he never responded. I needed to make a motion for a rehearing. I fired him and he acknowledged his termination.
Still at this time there was no signed and ordered Judgment.
Mr. Cliff writes a letter to the judge after being in communication with the respondent ( father) to our case and States;(I (Mr. cliff) IS IN PERSONAL AGREMEET WITH THE FATHER AS TO WHAT IS TO BE IN THE FINAL JUDGMENT)
Two months after being terminated he pushed through this judgment and then puts his paper of termination to the courts which now washes his hand to his doings.
Just one Part of this order reduces his child support form $1000.00 a month to $660.00. The six month old infant is to be handed off inside a major airport and be sent to Florida every three week without me the mother. I don’t have any legal right to communication with the father or care taker or the child while with him. (Side note, father has never attempted to be in her life even till this day She is 3).
