This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Look Elsewhere

I hired Jhonda for my child custody case against my ex who has numerous legal infractions as well as other children whom she has lost custody of. Jhonda rarely returned my calls. I did FOIA requests on my ex and found large amounts of info for my case. When I asked Jhonda to subpoena the info she sai...d she would. When time came for the preliminary case I had not been able to reach her on the phone for over a week. When I finally did she had done nothing to pull the info needed for the case and claimed "i'll just question her about the infractions"!!!!! I contacted her law office and had my case transferred to another lawyer. If I had stayed with Jhonda I have no idea if I would have gotten custody or not. I highly recommend you go elsewhere. Jhonda Scott will not give you the defense you need.

Do NOT recommend!!

I hired Johnda Scott for an increase in child support case that was clearly supported by the DCS. She arranged for a lesser child support amount and a better deal in medical reimbursement for my ex-husband WITHOUT my knowledge prior to court. I did not get the increase that was calculated and now I...'m out $500 a year for medical that my ex doesn't have to pay. And my ex didn't even have an attorney!!! She refuses to have any contact with me now.

Horrible Experiences

I hired Ms. Scott to represent me for two cases. She did not show up at either of my court dates. When she did show up she gave the judge a personal letter that I wrote to her (meaning she broke attorney-client privilege). The judge reprimanded me for the letter, not her, and I ended up serving 6 ...months in jail for the letter along with the reason why I was in court. She did not defend me at all in court and did not do anything she said she would do for me, except bill me five times the amount she estimated. I would not hire her again or recommend her to any family or friends.

We beat the charge

We won the case! However, I felt like we never interacted. Maybe that's how lawyers work.... I'm not sure. Or maybe I thought the situation was worst than what it was. At the end of the day, she worked her magic, so I shouldn't complain.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
