Business ProfileforBrown, Hay & Stephens, LLP

We had Attorney Cross as a GAL. I won’t be leaving the details of everything he did. There’s too many to list. My experience. If you are a bigger man, athlete, or didn’t go to college, Rob won’t give you a chance. Before he met me in person, he told me he would do certain things. After he met me he changed. He also bullied me in every email. His mind was made up the minute he saw me and it was obvious to me. Rob believed things about me without proof, and no matter what I showed him he refused to take it into consideration. The opposing side never had proof based off of their accusations. Ultimately, Rob claimed that when my sons grandma took him in to his office, my 9 year-old son told him that he wanted to be with me every other weekend, but Rob told me that my wife would be allowed to bring my son in, to see if he would give a different answer than what he gave when his grandma brought him in. Rob never allowed that to happen even though My son’s mother admitted to coaching him to say that he wanted to be with me every other weekend. I know that if someone from my family would’ve brought my son in to see Rob my son would’ve said he wants 50-50, because that’s what he says to me almost every time he sees me. I just don’t want what happened to my son to happen to anyone else. We had Rob for 14 months and he met with my son 3 times. Twice in March 2022 and once in September 2022. He gave his recommendation off of the September meeting when the grandma brought my son in. He built no rapport in only 3 meetings and didn’t try to see if my son would give a different answer by having someone from my family bring him in. In the end, I decided to turn Mr. Cross into the ARDC to report him after the case was over. I quickly learned the ARDC could not do an investigation on him though because they could not legally do an investigation Based on a report from someone that was never technically that attorneys client.
