Dewette C. Aughtry

What an amazing attorney!! Dewette is sincere and honest. She is very meticulous and thorough, she walks you thru everything. Never leaves anything out. True to her word you’ll get what she promises or you’ll get very close to it. She’s very patient and highly intelligent. Not afraid to go agai...nst anything or anyone nor is she afraid to challenge the opposition. Know that with Dewette you are in great hands. She is worth every dime she charges. It was my absolute pleasure to work with her. I learned so much from her. She was truly one of the best decisions I ever made. The best part in my experience with Dewettte is that we worked together. She kept me informed on every step that was being taken, she never misguided me. My divorced was a lot of unnecessary work due to the fact that I was married to someone who thrives on trying to “get over and misguide everyone”. But she saw through it all and was on top of everything. I promise anyone who retains Dewette that you will never be sorry - she is a winner at heart!

I walked into a marriage some years ago never considering that there could be a dark side of what was considered happiness. I did not fool myself to think that everything would be perfect and it was a happy ever after life. I know that in life there are some things that come up that one just needs to... deal with, whether you want to or not. The potholes that I saw others hit and go over became very different when I hit it. Seeing a jolt and feeling a jolt is two different things. Our once happy union became a consented separation. An in house separation became an out of the house separation which not long after, lead to papers some five years later when I received a letter from her attorney. I felt threatened and knew I would need a lawyer. I asked around and was told to give Dewette C. Aughtry a call and that she was a good lawyer. Upon giving her a call and setting up a meeting she first asked “are you sure this is what you want to do?” She asked about the history of my marriage, what lead to this, how my wife viewed things, how I viewed things and what step we had taken. As things went along Ms. Aughtry went to bat for me in fighting for me. There were times when I was fighting against myself. In the liquidation of things, I was told by my soon to be ex-wife that she wanted a certain amount of money and that I had good credit so I could go out and get it. At this point I was in rage and wanted it over and said I will give her what she wanted and get it over with. When I did not care my attorney did. Ms. Aughtry did not let me hurt myself with the many foolish moves I wanted to make. I am forever grateful that an attorney of her caliber was found at my level in life. On the last day of court, at the end of the proceeding the clerk said to me that she had witnessed a lot of cases and said that I was well represented, that my attorney did a great job. Dewette C. Aughtry came recommended to me and from my view she leaves Highly Recommended.

This attorney took a retainer fee of $5,000.00 from me for my divorce case. This was not a flat fee, she charged by the hour of $250.00. My divorce was a quick one, just show up in front of a judge a couple of times and signed a few papers. She showed up for me about four times and maybe a total o...f ten hours. At the time I retained her, she said she would returned any unused money to me. My divorce was granted in August of 2007 and I'm still waiting for her to return the balance to me. I called her several times but did not get to speak with her directly but instead spoke with her assistant who everytime promised to get to the paperwork and sent to me. Last time I spoke with her assistant was in January 2008, she promised to get the invoice and whatever remaining money to me within three week. It's now middle and still nothing.
