Click to report rating    3/14/19   1     1     1     1     1   Took retainer fee, never filed for my divorce when she stated she would. For my hearing, she was not prepared. Emails I sent were almost never responded to and when finally answered it took weeks and months, with my questions still not answered. Tried to charge me over $2,000 plus dollars in addition to my retainer fee a month after she began working on my case, although she did not do any work. Was never informed of this additional money until I fired her for not doing her job. Had to hire another attorney. I do not recommend this attorney. Later I discovered, that this attorney is known for doing shoddy work. RID: 209381
Click to report rating    2/15/18   5     5     5     5     5   She is a great attorney. Does job very well and hoped me greatly and would recommend her to anyone hat needs an attorney. She has bent over backwards to help me. James Meeks. RID: 196039
Click to report rating    3/28/16   5     5     5     4     5   Excellent attorney. She has a heart for helping to win custody cases as she is very concerned for the children - not just her fees. RID: 167186

Click to report rating    5/11/11   1     1     1     1     1   THIS IS THE WORST LAWYER I HAVE EVER MEET. SHE NEVER CONTACTED ME, AND WHEN I EMAILED HER ANSWER WAS "LISENT IF YOU EMAIL ME I WILL CHARGE YOU FOR EACH EMAIL" ON COURT DATE WAS LATE AND DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THEN SHE DID NOT EVEN FILE THE ORDER, AND TOLD ME I TOUGHT THE OTHER LAWYER WILL DO IT. I HIGHLY RECOMEN TO LOOK FOR SOMEONE ELSE. SHE MIS REPRESENT ME IN COURT RID: 45508
Click to report rating    5/4/11   1     1     1     1     1   She did extremely shoddy work, well I can't even call it work. I finally got rid of her. She owes me a refund - which I'll probably never get back. RID: 45228

 7/29/10   5     5     5     5     5   Great Experience! Reasonable rates, everything was done within a timely manner, and I could tell that she honestly cared about my situation. I had no problems getting in touch with her and am glad that I hired her! RID: 32787

 7/14/10   1     1     1     1     1   She lost my initial paperwork. Her excuse was it was b/c she moved, yet she is still in Macon. She had the wrong county on it, someone else's children & birth dates, and several other errors! I wonder who got MY children's info and their birth dates! Private info is NOT safe with her. Then she wanted more $ for "changes"! The changes that were made were b/c of her own carelessness! I was given 4 diff. amts for the filing fee. I went into her office to find out final pmt once and for all. Secretary said she doesn't keep records in the comp. so he couldn't tell. She would not mail my ex papers b/c she said she "normally doesn't do that". I had to give the papers to him. I told her that I would report her. She said she would rather refund me $700 rather than respond to a "ridiculous" bar complaint. I said "Refund the $, I got another attorney." Now she won't refund it until she has proof that her work product isn't being used and only then will she give it back at $100/mo. SCAM ARTIST! RID: 32322

 6/24/10   1     1     1     1     1   Anyone in the Macon, Gray, Warner Robins or Middle georgia area. Take heed, do not use this lawyer. She is very unprofessional and lacks integrity. She will not return your phone calls in a timely fashion. In my case, the only way she responded was by email after I had repeated called her office and that response was 2 to 3 weeks later.You have to continue to call her office to get a response about your case. Her office has stated that the message was given to her, but we can't make her return your phone call. Never have I dealt with someone that's so unprofessional. Please find another lawyer. By the way, I paid her in full. She didn't have to wait for a check. She should not be practicing law. Do yourself a favor and find a new lawyer I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had problems with her. Dont know how she is still practicing law RID: 31637
Click to report rating    4/20/10   1     1     1     1     1   This is one of the worst lawyers I have ever met. Never returns phone calls, gets angry when you show up at her office, postpones constantly. Don't hire her, she takes your money and you get NOTHING in return. RID: 29434
Click to report rating    7/14/09   2     2     1     1     1   All I can say is she should not be able to practic family law. I should have just hired a Mediator to do my divorce. I was charged $2,600. and had to do all the paper work on my Divorce. She had my case for over 1 year and it is still not settled. Never returns your calls in a timely manner.Took her weeks to reply to my emails. And filed the wrong paper work concerning a 401 retierment that I still haven't recieved that was part of divorce settlement. There was never any urgency on her part. I will never feel safe hireing another lawyer again. I have lost a large amount of money and I will never be able to recoop what I have lost. I wish I would have found this we site sooner. RID: 20042
