Jill Warren was recommended as an Attorney Ad Litem for my stepdaughter during a custody/visitation dispute between my husband and his ex-wife. After reading reviews of her, we were expecting an unbiased, professional and intelligent report. However, the lack of attention she gave to our case left us surprised and disappointed. After receiving her full fee, she never returned any of the calls or messages from our attorney regarding the case; this went on for nearly two weeks. Ms. Warren crammed the entire report and all interviews into 4 days. She started on a Monday and submitted her final report that Friday. Her phone interview with one of our witnesses was beyond unacceptable. The witness called us afterward and said that, throughout the conversation, Ms. Warren was distracted and all over the board, seeming completely lost and confused as to why the the interview was taking place. If Ms. Warren had read the information from our attorney, she would have known why her own staff arranged this interview. Her report consisted of a copy of her notes that had innumerable inaccuracies as well as a brief recommendation that contradicted her own opinion (repeatedly mentioned in the notes). Furthermore, the notes revealed her personal feelings. She left us with the overwhelming impression that she had allowed her recommendation of our situation to be swayed by the fact that she is a mother of two. Ms. Warren's words appeared to be based upon mudslinging and lies while leaving out important, supporting facts. She focused on the opinions of one another (the adults) and overlooked the good of the child. She neglected to include the child's repeated requests, even pleas, to see more of her father. Instead, she remained intent on defending the mother's jealousy issues and efforts to replace the biological father with a new husband. Ms. Warren did not put forth any visible effort to include facts which were necessary to make a well-rounded and well-thought-out conclusion. Perhaps, she was stretched thin with clients and juggling her job while being an active and involved mother. This is not a criticism as I value the hard efforts of all mothers, working or otherwise. However, our case seemed to have fallen through the cracks of her workload. No matter, she was distracted and unprofessional. To make things worse, Ms. Warren made bold and curious statements about her concern for the relationship between my stepdaughter and her new stepfather. My distraught husband called her about this open-ended accusation to which she did not give any further explanation. As one might imagine, this has adversely affected my husband's peace of mind with regard to his daughter's well-being, particularly when she is away from him during her visits to the other household. I feel my husband is owed an apology and the return of his $1,500 fee as Ms. Warren did not fulfill her end of the agreement. If you want someone who will pursue the truth and stress facts, Jill Warren is not whom I would recommend. She lacks the experience and attention needed when a young child's best interest and safety is paramount.
