Deidra Nicole Proctor

Ms. Proctor seems to be very competent and knowledgeable about the whole divorce process and law, but she fails in many other areas that can put your case at risk. On a number of occasions, Ms. Proctor failed to submit the necessary documentation or file motions in a timely manner, and she missed th...e court-mandated deadlines resulting in my case to negatively impacted. - Ms. Proctor’s failed to submit a Motion to Transfer Venue in a timely manner (1 month late), which resulted in a Default Order to be issued by the Court. - Ms. Proctor failed to submit my request for Discovery and Interrogatories to opposing counsel within the court's timeframe, resulting in my case being severely impacted, as my spouse wasn't required to provide any information. In addition, she failed to inform me that she missed the court's deadline. - Ms. Proctor also did not inform me when the court placed a motion to compel on me, as a result of her not providing Discovery and Interrogatory responses that I had previously provided to Ms. Proctor months prior. - Ms. Proctor came unprepared to a Hearing, where she didn't provide opposing counsel the necessary documentation (list of exhibits) prior to the Hearing, as a result, I was not allowed to present any exhibit evidence (text messages or emails) during the Hearing. - The last straw was when Ms. Proctor’s overcharged me for Court Transcripts, which I found out only cost $250, but she informed me and charged me $1,500 for the same Transcripts. As a result of Ms. Proctor's failings, I had to hire another law firm, which cost me more money to fix my issues caused by Ms. Proctor......At the end of the day, caveat emptor (Buyer Beware).

I hired her regarding custody and child support. She seemed like a very competent attorney and was very informative of the process. However, docs where not filed timely and she did not show up for one of my hearings, was only given a 30 minute prior notice. I had to stand in front of the Judge myself.... It impacted my case and I felt if things where handled better and more timely I would have had a better result. Also she was not very responsive to a lot of the issues i had. When I consulted about a receipt of payments, I never got a response. I was forced to hire another attorney to complete my case and had to pay double. I would not recommend this attorney.

Ms. Proctor handled my divorce and custody relocation case. I spoke with several lawyers before hiring her, none of them believed in my case. After speaking to her, she gave me hope. She handled my case extremely well considering the nature of the case. She answered my questions, concerns, worries wi...th grace. She's extremely knowledgeable and is a great communicator. She makes her client a priority. I am happy with the out.
