Kristy Gaines Patton

Read the other review from August 2021.. that is my experience, exactly. To get more precise, Kristy's paralegal (Sheila) is probably the biggest problem in the entire equation. You send her an email(or 10) and she says "it has been sent to Kristy) then you literally hear nothing, for days, weeks,... or months yet they have no issue charging you and asking for additional funds? The only way to get traction(which means a real person on the other side) is to contact the office manager, Julie, and the firm owner(Chas) and even then, you just get lip service... this is the worst situation for me(trying to settle property after an entire year, ex spouse and I agree on everything),I have paid thousands to them, have been charged thousand, yet have received nothing.... other than consistent emails stating it will be completed. Stay away from them unless you like to bleed money.

I would not recommend Kristy Patton. I have been in a high conflict situation with my ex and Kristy has not been effective representation for my case. I have sent several emails and messages (close to 20) over one particular matter and they are not answered. The communication is close to zero except... when she wants money. I have sent emails, left messages etc regarding a courtorder that is not being followed. I am always told by the paralegal “the information is forwarded and Kristy will get back to you”…which never happens. I will then receive an email to put more money on my account without a bill; I ask about a bill and am told she hasn’t time. The entire process is unethical and the inability to communicate with a client and file proper motions for resolution in ongoing. I have gone to the courthouse to obtain paperwork and to verify there is something being done on my case. I have spent thousands of dollars and 4 years trying to resolve a situation without progress. I have lost faith in the legal system and in attorneys. I am completely disappointed and discouraged. Sadly, I would never recommend an attorney who is not an advocate for their client; I do not feel like she has been an advocate and has been subpar in representing my case. The inability to communicate and file motions is not acceptable.
