Ms. Pamela Hutul is a family law attorney practicing in Chicago. Potential clients of Ms. Hutul should beware. I am disturbed by the unethical behavior she has exhibited in her practice of law. Ms. Hutul will attempt to create as much acrimony in a divorce as possible to lengthen the litigation proceedings and increase her fees. Upon intaking a client, she will assess the client's resources to determine how much money she can earn from the case. She will then make sure her collected fees are a portion of the total marital estate. She wants her share.
The ways she increases acrimony varies on the case, but often it involves making personal insults to the client's ex-spouse. Engaging in unnecessary and ineffective legal tactics and so on. She will avoid settling a case, even if it is in her client's best interest, if settling means her fees are reduced.
Ms. Hutul has a poor reputation in the Chicago legal community for not being a substantive attorney. She will rarely create legal arguments based on the facts or the law, but relies on emotional arguments. Ms. Hutul regularly insults and is abusive to the opposing litigants and attorneys.
Ms. Pamela Hutul is a rapid feminist and treats male associates in degrading ways. I've seen her send male attorneys to find cold medicine, coffee and to run minor errands. This demoralizes the associates who then do not put forth their best effort on behalf of the client.
She was formerly with the firm of Beerman Swerdlove. She left that firm when the other partners objected to her attempts to engage in nepotism. That's the rumor in the legal community.
When deciding on an attorney, potential clients should be aware that legal review sites such as avvo.com are regularly monitored by attorneys. The reviews there are adjusted and edited by the attorneys in question and are therefore not necessarily accurate. So gather information about an attorney from multiple sources before making a decision.
