Unhappy client

I hired Attorney James she was terrible. She had several attorneys represent me . She did not hold to our fee agreement. She did not do anything that she told me she was going to do. I had her for 1 year and she was terrible. I would not hire her. Also look at the yelp reviews. I also filed a complai...nt with bar association.

Horrible experience

I am In the process of filing a complaint with The Attorney and Consumer Assistance Program (ACAP) which is part of the Office of the Bar Counsel of the Board of Bar Overseers. Bridgett filed court forms such as subpoenas, motions for contempt, etc., without proofreading anything prior to filing. She... used wrong dates, wrong spelling, and wrong address. Bridgett would constantly promise to do something by a certain time but fail to do so. She misplaced my ex's financial disclosure form given to her while in court and it was never submitted into our case file. My ex's attorney and another attorney of mine were both unsuccessful in getting Bridgett to return their emails/calls. Bridgett told me I would be refunded by 5/23/24. Then she told me it would be by 5/29/24. Then she told me by 6/2/24. Now I am forced to contact The Bar Association Fee Arbitration and The Clients' Security Board. I'm happy to share my experience with Bridgett in depth should you wish to know more. I highly advise you NOT to hire Bridgett as your attorney.
