Unprofessional

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.

Not a current client. Thank you to the Person and Durham County Judges for your wise counsel. Withdrew from former client's case before case finished.
