Do not use this law firm!

Don’t waste your money! These people only want to take your money. They are not interested in your family in the least. They claim they will stand up for your children, but they won’t. The attorney missed my discovery deadline, costing me thousands of dollars in child support payments, despite th...at I asked him about it 4 times in a month and half. The attorney ignored my emails! I brought this to Kristi Wooten’s attention. I asked her multiple times why this happened. She refused to answer me! Then my attorney quit and Wooten gave me only three days notice to decide if I wanted to stay with their firm or not. I was told by my attorney that if my temporary Custody Order wasn’t working out I could take my case to trial. It wasn’t, as my children were still being abused. When I told Mr. Fanney to take a stand, he laughed in my face! It took Kristi Wooten 3 weeks to respond to my concerns and then she promptly advised that if I wanted to take this to trial, they would quit. She only gave me a day and a half to decide despite that she took weeks to respond to me! They would not honor their word! In Kristi Wooten’s “justification” for not honoring their word, she cited “facts” of my case as her reasoning. She got the facts wrong! She was citing things that never even happened in my case! Then they failed to give me my entire file upon request. I emailed the paralegal to point out that a letter I paid thousands of dollars for the attorney to write to the GAL, with exhibits, was missing. She then emailed me the letter with only 6 of the exhibits! There were 21! The paralegal then seemed confused when I asked for the rest of the file. Finally, after a back-and-forth, I received all of the exhibits I paid for. They made sure they took their money for “representing” me at the child support hearing that they were completely unprepared for though. Kristi Wooten will charge for every last minute thing she does on the file, even if it is incorrect. They are all about the money. Then they blame their clients when their clients get fed up with their incompetence. Go somewhere else that actually cares. Please.

Great attorney

Smart, focused, ETHICAL. Hit all objectives, even those I had not thought of. Before I hired her, I checked her reviews. Weird that the same negative review experience pops up every few years. Sad that one scorned apple can turn away others. She is the best and I would not go anywhere else for c...ustody and visitation issues. Ms. Wooten is always there and remembers everything without having to rehash my situation. Her staff is always available to me and they really care. I am so glad I found Ms. Wooten.
