She should be disbarred

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I’m sure by now if you’re reading through these reviews you’ve seen the ones mentioning their misconduct, their inability to take any case urgently or seriously, and the fact that they just sit there in the courtroom and do nothing. Please listen to these reviews. I ...was horribly strung along with false hope and promises. Alexandra Wood would scream at me any time I mentioned her questionable behavior. She had a personal relationship with the judge on my case and would even joke about having my judges son send her (my judge) photos of her grand baby to cheer her up before/during my hearings. It all made me incredibly uncomfortable but I felt as though I couldn’t say something. Alex essentially seen the ways in which I was being abused and manipulated by the opposing party and would piggyback off of that. I was too scared to say anything, too scared to speak up. On several occasions she told me she was representing me pro se and we would work out a payment plan later. When I tried to clarify the details of this she blew up on me and made me feel guilty for her “working for free”. Any discussions had with Alex NEED TO BE DONE IN WRITING. Not over the phone. This is how she gets away with half the misconduct she does. She would refuse to respond to my emails but then call me. Which means no footprint left behind to hold her accountable with. However, if she did her job appropriately from the beginning it would not have gone on as long as it did. The icing on the cake was when she appealed my case, only to not show to the hearing, and then claim she withdrew from my case. I have the documents. This is a lie. She didn’t show while the court and myself were under the impression she was representing me for the matter. If you’re in a high conflict matter - this is not the form for you. They’re irresponsible, aggressive but not in the manner of fighting for you and your case, and truly their motives come abundantly clear after they’ve already drained you of your money. I am appalled that Alexandra Wood has children and is a mother and acted in the manner she did regarding my custody case. Avoid at all costs. Email me and I’ll personally recommend you to several other firms who will actually fight for your and your child’s safety.
