Laurice C. McClain

Divorce/support I really should of considered the reviews before I signed and made payments. She seemed great until a little while after the first payment. Near the end she wanted to "further review" my account statements to verify income which had already been repeatedly verified as ssi/ssdi. To ...which I declined. To which her response was "If you do not comply I will be withdrawing from your case". Something she had already tried to do once before. I practically begged for her to please find a path forward. I was met with "you just want to take her to court". No, I wanted help. Didn't even make it to having a court date. I'm financially collapsing. Personally I think she wanted those statements to either see if she could charge me more (just to review them even) or to turnover to the "Defendant". I'm overall pretty disappointed. Nobody would take my case except for her. She talked good. Though I was repeatedly warned by my postal carrier about this attorney. Guess I should of listened? To her credit I'll at least say she's quite responsive. I'm sure she will have some sort of response for this. Refute it if you like but this is what occurred. I should probably edit this and go even further in depth. This is a decent summary for now.

Laurice McClain is knowledgeable, straight forward and keeps her peddle to the metal. With her knowledge and experience she formed a clear strategy to come to court, with a motion to modify my alimony payments. With her guidance we accomplished what we set out for. Her charges were reasonable. I woul...d recommend her to anyone (especially men) who need to navigate complex family law and have confidence you have the best advise on your side.

We hired Laurice for an emergency custody order. The language of the order needed to be changed in order for law enforcement to legally remove my daughter from the home. She refused to change it. When she finally decided to have it changed, the order was STILL wrong. She refused to hear the legal adv...ice the sheriffs explained to me. In her exact words "She knows the law." She had advised me to serve the order to the person myself after being aware of him and I going to criminal court for him assaulting me. Her exact words were "What are you scared for if you have your grandmother & boyfriend with you???" I cannot make this up. She filed a motion to withdraw because the judge asked me directly if I had a question, and I asked one valid question. She stormed out the court room leaving me in front of the judge. Immediately after court she was waiting outside the door to tell me "she is no longer my attorney." Lie #1. She was still my attorney until the judge approved her motion to withdraw. In her motion to withdraw form she emailed me she said "I terminated the relationship between her and I." (lie #2) and told me to sign it. Of course, I refused and explained why. Because it was not the truth. She then emailed me a new motion of withdrawal form and took the false statement out. She talked over me many times to prevent me from communicating any questions or concerns to her. She has hung up on me. She has been very rude and bitter after our first payment to her. Her ego was very big for someone who did not help my case at all. She left it up to me to communicate to the courts myself after hiring her. After doing so, I was finally able to get my daughter returned to me. What was suppose to be a process in a matter of days turned into weeks because she does not do her job. During those three weeks my daughter was in harms way when she could have been home long ago. She still decided to keep our money after doing nothing but gave us a "professional discount." She is very bitter, I'm not sure who hurt her but she does more harm than good. These are false reviews. Real reviews from real people are on google.

Attorney McClain's handling of my custody case was in a word "excellent" from the first consultation, all the way through the hearing. She was very prepared and attentive to every aspect of my case, in and outside of the court room. I will never forget one the first things she said to me after meeti...ng her was, "I've got your back." She did have my back, and if I have any future issues, she will be my first call.
