Phenomenal Attorney

At first I though I wouldn't have much trouble with my divorce, and I consulted with Mrs. Johnson to get the process started. However, it quickly turned south and Mrs. Johnson ended up representing me in court over false clams filed by my wife. I have never seen someone so dedicated and passionate in... the court room. Mrs. Johnson really stood out amongst the other lawyers in the room. So much so that I was asked by others who I hired so they could hire her as well! Mrs. Johnson ended up getting the fraudulent protective order made by my wife denied, and I didn't even need to testify. I could not have picked a better Lawyer. Mrs. Johnson is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate about her work, and you will not regret hiring her.

she didn’t ever check the right address and

Amanda is bad attorney. She got my ex-husband Wesley Bell. where I show Jones county he gave a falsified address somebody else sign my divorceDecree never received the divorce court date because of falsified address and other falsely misinform. She’s a bad lawyer when you get a divorce from her, she ...will go with the defendant and not getting the proper she needs to be fired information.

This review says posted by Wesley Bell but you refer to Wesley Bell as your ex-husband. If so, you are not our client and you never hired us. So your review is meaningless as we did not represent you. If you had an issue with how we ended your marriage you should have hired your own attorney.

Horrible advise

When asking a question about a custody order and seeing parent can provide me with location as to where kids will be sleeping when not at his residence, she told me I was too controlling to want that? Lol she’s a joke! Who doesn’t want to know where their 3 and 4 year old are staying when not at fath...ers house?? What if something were to happen and I have no idea where my kids are? Horrible advice from a so called lawyer. Then told me I might as well add that he needs to update me when brushing their teeth and eating since I am controlling his time with the kids. I just want to know the location as to where they will be sleeping when not at his home. Every parent has a legitimate right to know where their kids will be. No wonder she has a low rating! I would never hire her!

Awww, did someone not like my response to the question they asked on the public forum Avvo telling them they were likely being controlling and unreasonable? I don't even really need to respond to that point - your review pretty much proves who you are to everyone. You know, normal people understand that when they post a question on a public forum they don’t get to dictate and control the answers they get. You may get answers you like and you may get answers you don't like. Normal people just take whatever information they do get and use the bits they find useful as they see fit. Controlling and unreasonable people, like you, tend to become angry and whine about how they got an answer they disagree with. Regardless, me answering your question on Avvo does not make you a client or even a potential client. But as to your suggestion that actual clients and actual potential clients look at my reviews - yes, they absolutely should! I have a 4.6 Google Review Rating and Avvo and the state bar clearly show I have no instances of misconduct. Your review didn't even put a scratch on my over 4 star rating. So there are basically a whole lot more people who disagree with your - assessment (or more accurately your control induced pissy fit simply because you didn't like my response). Essentially not every person that a law firm comes onto contact with is a nice decent person. There are plenty of over reaching, over bearing, jerks in the world - even if only on occasion. What I tell people who act as you do is that I'd rather represent their ex. Which is what I told you. So if you want to call the state bar and tell them that - please, be my guest. They will likely get a laugh like most others reading your review. One last thing, if getting the simple fact of the matter truth or even just an opinion that differs from yours in a response to a question you ask causes you to act the way you did - perhaps you should consider not asking questions. I hope your ex mops the floor with you in court - the children deserve better than you.
