I hired him to represent me in my divorce several years ago; he did not do some of the things he said he would, and he also unnecessarily delayed filing my divorce filing so my ex's attorney ended up filing first, picking venue etc. He also didnt return several phone calls. He took my money but didnt do anything for me so I ended up firing him and using another attorney for my entire divorce. Awful experience and he was unapologetic.

  I was a client of Ouebacker's. He represented me in a Pasadena Court for a restraining order and divorce that we were filing. I would not recommend Ouerbacker as an attorney. These are the things I did not like: 1.)  He and his office staff chose to write my testimony for me. The testimony that they wrote had errors. The errors were serious enough that I made multiple attempts to explain the corrections needed to Ouerbacker and his staff. The recommended corrections to my testimony were never made by Ouerbacker or his staff prior to the filing. Submitting inaccurate statements to the Court was a very uncomfortable way for me to start out my case. I did not like this. I believe that this action also led to complications later in the case.  2.) There were witnesses available to support my case. Ouerbacker was made aware of who these people were and how to get a hold of them. Ouerbacker did not subpoena any witnesses. He did not gather any statements from the witnesses. The most crucial witnesses were our neighbors who were direct witnesses to certain events and school district employees, including a counselor and a principal, who had interviewed my children prior to any filings. Ouerbacker told me that he was not going to call any witnesses. And he did not. Since my ex's lawyer did call a witness and did submit a witness statement, I began losing credibility with the judge and the judge was getting agitated with me. I did not like that there was data that was available for Ouerbacker to use to support our case but that he chose not to use this information. The damage that this caused to our case was apparent through the comments the judge began making with each passing court date.  3.) I did not like that Ouerbacker did not make sure that witness statements and appointments made were reaching me. I was in a confidential location during the case, and so my only source of court documents as well as child support payments was through Ouerbacker's office. I missed a counseling appt that Ouerbacker did not make me aware of. Ouerbacker's office miplaced and failed to send me one my child support checks until I called his office and asked the receptionist to assist me. I did not see a crucial witness statement (i.e., the judge entered it as evidence against me) that my ex submitted and that I could have easily helped Ouerbacker respond to, until we were sitting in front of the judge for one of our court dates. I did not these things. As a client of Mr. Ouerbacker's, these things were tremendously distressing to me.  4.) We did not fare well in the court case. Because the judge based his opinions on a case that appeared to me to be missing a substantial amount of supporting documentation, this was a disappointing outcome for me and something I did not like.        5.) I did not like that Ouerbacker set up my child support payments to go to his office but did not assist me when I asked him to have the checks rerouted to my own address. I had a conversation with him on the day that I was signing papers to terminate services with him. He would agree to have the checks rerouted directly to me or offer me advice on how this is done. So for a short time after he was no longer my attorney, the child support checks were still going to his office until I figured out how to resolve the situation myself.
