Mediation Concerns
Several reviewers expressed concerns about the mediation process conducted by Caldwell Barefoot, a family law firm. One reviewer, Robert Pluchino, gave a 1-star review and described his experience with Caldwell as shocking and unprofessional. Pluchino claimed that Caldwell recommended he pay more than he makes to his ex-spouse, which would have left him homeless and unable to provide for his children. He stated that this advice was given despite his financial situation and that the mediation ultimately left him worse off than before.
