The $20,000,000,000+ Legal Divorce Industry – Broder & Orland Lawyers At Forefront

In the meantime, Mr. Paasman’s legal team at Broder & Orland hadn’t turned over requested financial documents (which would help the court determine if there was a need to modify) and also asked the court for a continuance to turn over the documents. If a client truly needed a modification, shouldn’t the client and attorneys work together to produce the proper documents?

Filing continuances and appearing in court on those motions (and on motions to modify) runs up the cost of legal fees...money that the client and the opposing party allegedly did not have.  Delay tactic or not, the only losers here are the minor child and Mr. and Mrs. Paasman, as legal bills continue to mount instead of going to child and spousal support.

You Get Billed for Everything Your Attorney Does

And that is the crux of a matter. While many divorce attorneys understand the serious nature of the divorce process at both an emotional and financial level, there are some who appear to capitalize on the clouded emotions of their clients and run up high legal fees by filing motions and putting off the discovery process once it’s started.

Looking again at public record divorce cases involving Broder & Orland, in the case of Louise and Ludovico Iacono, the firm eventually filed a motion to withdraw from the case. Mr. Iacono had already paid out substantial fees (and quite a bit of money in a settlement).

Another interesting finding in Connecticut’s court files was spotted in Kamil Salame’s divorce proceedings (Case No. FST FA 14-4028187). Despite the large amount of money awarded to the plaintiff, motion after motion is filed. In the settlement agreement available as public record there’s another fairly interesting statement that may explain why Broder & Orland continues to apparently file a questionable amount of motions and employ delay tactics. Paragraph 15.5 states that if either party is found in default by a court of “competent jurisdiction,” the “aggrieved party” is entitled to any and all reasonable expense fees and costs, including reasonable attorney fees. So, more that Broder & Orland go to court, the more money they can make.

We also noted a fair number of cases filed by Broder & Orland where the complaint (written by one of their attorneys) requested that the named defendant pay the attorney fees for the plaintiff. A couple of examples, all filed in Superior Court in Connecticut, include Donald Stangler v. Barbara Harland (FST FA 11-4020386 S), Lesley McCauley v. Steven Kroll, Jr. (FST FA 12-4022513 S), and several currently filed divorce cases.
