Peggy Ann Trent

This sorry excuse for an attorney was appointed as my free lawyer in a divorce. Here are some short details. Husband left me for his co-worker. He was sole bread winner. Everything that I asked for (normal stuff like 50% of everything) Trent told me I probably would not get. I finally gave up asking... for anything at all and told Trent that I did not need a lawyer, free or otherwise, to get me nothing. There was no 50/50 split in any way or shape of the phrase. I owned my home so I got that ONLY b/c he did not want the house my Mother gave me b/c it did not have a clear deed. As far as our accumulated belongings of 20+ years, he got everything and furthermore was permitted to sell off anything (including a vehicle) before the divorce was ever settled. When I asked Trent about him selling off OUR property before we even had settled a divorce, she said if I paid the vehicle off, I could have it. Pay it off in FULL with WHAT? When he left me I had nothing but my home that used to be my mothers and a pile of bills. EX-husband controlled all the money. He had the job, the 401K, the vehicles and hauled off a trailer and truck load of OUR belongings the day he told me he wanted a divorce. I recouped nothing. Trent was lousy. I mean she did nothing on my behalf. It looked to me like she was working for my ex-husband and was quite friendly with his attorney as well. To kick all this off, Trent then charged me for the little time she took to go to court and get me nothing. I refuse to pay this. This was a FREE lawyer appointed by legal aid. Trent law office turned me into collections and has done a great job of ruining what little credit I am trying to establish. I would never recommend this attorney to anyone including people I don't care for. I was traumatized by having a cheating husband who moved out with our belongings on Valentines Day and further traumatized by the lack of care or legal representation that I received from Ms. Trent. I ended up having to move from my home to look for work b/c I lived in a small WY town that had NO JOBS When one has been out of the workforce as long as I have, this is not easy. I had to settle for low paying labor jobs and was even homeless for awhile as I rented my house out. My life was ruined and I had to start below ground zero to start over. Trent could have changed that. She could have TRIED to get me what is normal for a wife and husband settlement such as half the 401K. That little bit of money could have helped me but in reference to the 401K, she stated, "Oh, he doesn't have enough in that to bother with." and brushed my inquiry off. To Trent maybe a few thousand dollars is not enough for HER to bother with but since I had no money and no vehicle (thanks to her) that would have made a BIG difference in the course of my life. I would not even give Trent 1 star but this program has to have at least 1 to register a review. She is not worth that.
