Posted by Karen | November 12, 2019 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I wished I hadn’t hired this attorney and want to warn others

Mrs. Flowers did not return phone calls. She did not provide statements of her activities or Financial balance. I contracted with her for 10 months. In that time she only once provided me with a update on my case and this did not include financials. Once I became frustrated with her lack of response... I requested to end our attorney client relationship. At that point she said I owed her an additional $2000 for services already rendered. She never went to court on my behalf, she never registered as my attorney, she never spoke to opposing counsel.

Excellent Customer and General Service

Mrs. Bash-Flowers provided great advice to my family regarding a matter to be potentially litigated in NC. We live outside NC and had no idea what was expected of us or how we were to proceed. Mrs. Bash-Flowers was kind, friendly, patient and courteous. Though she was unable to take our case, she a...dequately advised us and graciously referred us to a colleague. She did not exhibit the stiff, haughty attitude of some of the other attorneys that we contacted. I am retired, but if I lived in NC I would offer to volunteer in her office. I like her style. As my father would say, "She is good people."

Excellent Attorney!!

Verna Bash-Flowers handled my bankruptcy 2 years ago. She walked me through the process, kept me informed, and made sure everything was processed exactly the way it needed to be. A bankruptcy is a very stressful experience for anyone, but she made it as painless as she could and ensured my interest...s were protected. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services!

I do recomend her to all my family and friends. She never once treated us like a lower class person. Most do because we . We really liked her

Awesome working with Mrs. Verna!!!

She represented me on an accident Case about 3 years ago and also represented me dealing with some traffic tickets I got as a teen. She was swift and professional. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking an attorney!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2004.

Reprimand issued in CT, 2004

updated on 10/01/2015

A reprimand is an order from the Statewide Grievance Committee after it has found that an attorney has engaged in ethical misconduct. If an attorney receives more than 3 reprimands in 5 years, a presentment must be filed against the attorney so the Superior Court can decide if more serious discipline should be ordered.

Verna’s comment:

“This matter was resolved and there have been no further disciplinary actions and I have now been practicing for 25 years now.”
