Not helpful at all

I hired Ms. Allgood under the impression she was going to help me as she assured me she would. Between the hire date and the date of court we exchanged emails regarding the case and she did her work supposedly. In the end however I did not win my case in fact it was worse than if I didn't use a lawye...r at all. In the court room she didn't bring up any key factors we had discussed and looked very over matched. In addition to this my 2000 dollar retainer fee ended up not being enough and my total came to over 3500 dollars. now she already knew I had no money because she lost my case, yet her law firm then sued ME when I couldn't come up with that money and garnished my wages to get it. I would steer clear of her and even if you don't have many options, you might be better off representing yourself for free.

Replied last January 28, 2016

It is difficult to respond to an anonymous review, as I cannot be sure which case this is. I can say that I always strive to communicate clearly to my clients how they should expect the court to respond to the issues in their case so they are prepared for the outcome. Often that includes advice about how to handle issues that arise pending trial. If a client chooses to disregard my advice, that may result in a negative consequence. It is unfortunate and disappointing, for the client and for me.
