Shalonda Tillman

I hired Ms Tillman because I have a Divorce Contempt case that I wanted to open to the courts. I contacted her in Feb 2022 for a consultation, and moved forward in June 2022. Provided my fees and she did the rest, so I thought. Weeks went by and then a month with the only update of "The paper work... has been filed", but my case was still closed. I asked for copies of what she presented to the courts and I still to this day have not received them. I talked with the clerk of court several times and nothing has been done on my case to reopen it. But she is still saying that she submited the paperwork. Then when I finally got her on the phone, after requesting to talk to her several times she tells me that the Lead Clerk of the Court was out and she could not get answers on my case. Hhhmmm that is such a misstatment. Anyone in the Court can pull up my case or process the paperwork if she submitted it. So I asked for my money back. That actual day she was in the Court that my case was previously heard, and low and behold the paperwork was submitted that day which was in August. I told her that I did not want her to do anything else on my case, that all this time it could have been either heard or I would have a court date. She also said that she petitioned the defendant, but how when the case is still closed. This was so messy and unprofessional. Now I am still as of today have not received any paperwork from her on what she provided the courts and I requested this before I fired her as my Attorney. Then once I talked to the Clerk of the Court concerning my case again, that she finally submitted the paperwork on the 3rd of August, remind you it was dated June 29th so she prepared the document, but never sent to the courts. But the clerk told me she was the one that accepted the paperwork and the paperwork that she used is not used in my type of case anymore, and that it did not have enough information for the Judge to her my case. That more than likely it would have gotten denied. So long story short, if I would have read the reviews versus just listening to her, I would not have selected her. I have learned my lesson and will do the required research needed. Now here it is September 2022 and my case is still lingering due to her negligence, because I have to start all over and hopefully get a date before the year is up. Be honest with your clients, provide copies that they are legally due, and follow up with the courts if you say you submitted something cause if I submitted something and I have not heard from the courts in almost 2 months I would think something is wrong.
