Avoid MDO (Maryland Divorce Online)…
Avoid MDO (Maryland Divorce Online) unless you want to be scammed. I paid a $450 Attorney Appearance Fee through MDO with the clear understanding that the lawyer would represent me at my substantive divorce hearing. The lawyer failed to appear, forcing me to proceed unrepresented during a critical, life-altering event. MDO refuses to issue a refund, claiming the fee was for a minor, previous scheduling conference. Who on earth pays $450 for representation at a scheduling hearing?! This is an insulting attempt to justify keeping money for a service they know I needed at the actual divorce hearing, not before it. The firm has shown zero empathy in their response and is actively refusing to pay for services they are clearly responsible for. Divorces are expensive enough without firms like this refusing to return money for work they didn't do. Do not recommend. If you want to be fully represented and not scammed out of your money, look elsewhere. Feel free to contact me for the full details of my experience.
