Not sure yet

Not sure how this will handle yet. Went through the process of the complaint divorce form so I'm ready to go just need to pay for my divorce. The service seems ok. A few times someone at that law firm got really rude to me because I ask alot of questions and don't understand. This is my first divorc...e. I feel like they should email me back more often with more specific answers and I went a month a one time emailing them and getting no response until yesterday finally. not meaning I emailed them for a whole month. I don't know if I ever spoke to Amanda so can't say. I'm sure she does her job the best she can. I'm iffy about paying for the divorce and lose my money or not get my divorce. I have trust issues because companies etc took my money before and I never heard back from them or never got what I paid for. Dealt with alot of scammers. I want to go through houser law firm for my divorce and stop being nervous about not getting divorced or something coming up or get jipped I guess u can say lol. I'm giving it a 3 star because I don't know yet how this will turn out but I hear good things and Lawyers are busy. So Amanda may be just right may be giving a 5 star soon.

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.

She needs to check see if give correct address

Amanda bowden Johnson, will get u a divorce and the other person will not know about anything. My husband sent divorce papers to family members home where I didn't live at it was done wrong she should have checked to see if was my proper address. I was not served properly how I found out that I was d...ivorce was he mail to his ex girlfriend and she post it on social media. I was not aware of it until she posts it. I was to be the only one to sign and his nephew sing NC if u separate from a 1 year if you come back law is that have to start all over.

If you were the defendant, then you aren't my client and have no standing to submit a review as we never had a consultation nor did I represent you. I represent your spouse and I have zero obligation to you. However, since your review reflects that I did what your spouse wanted and others know that if they hire me I will get the job done for them despite the whining of their spouses - I am good with that.

Very unhappy

I retained The Houser Law Firm to complete my divorce. My experience with the Houser Law Firm has been as bad as it can be. I asked for a refund of services not yet provided because I was deeply dissatisfied with the rude manner I was being treated. This refund policy is plainly stated on their websi...te. I was denied my refund. Ms. Houser called me and accused me of lying about the way her staff had treated me. I still have not gotten my refund or my divorce. I am deeply unhappy with the poor service and treatment I received. I would never recommend her services to anyone.

You are a liar - you accused us of fraud and stealing from you on a Google review - accusations which you knew and have since admitted were untrue. A review which you promptly edited after we informed you we'd lake legal action. You are also an outright liar here as well. You know full well why you have not received a refund - yet you try and make it seem like its our fault and not yours. You were told we can not yet give you a refund because you informed us you have made fraud complaints to your bank / financial institution and we now can not refund your money until that is resolved. Your have caused all these problems yourself because you are simply one of those trifling, awful people in the world that businesses have to deal with once in a while. So basically, you deserve to be unhappy and your review ignored..

Question on divorce papers

I sent a question to be answered and the answer I got back basically berated me. I was told that the question I asked made no sense and didn't describe the proper way to handle things. It said that we would be lucky if it went through and if we didn't know what we were doing we would "screw" ourselve...s which I didn't think was professional. It said if from what I had told her she would be surprised if the divorce went through. I wasn't very impressed with the unprofessional way the question was answered.

I did not mean to berate you! If you mistook it that way, I sincerely apologize. However, your question truly and honestly made no sense at all and if you recall, I was not the only attorney that said that. No one expects you to know all the legal lingo and terminology but the way you were describing the way things were being done was incredibly far off base - even for a lay person! If things were done the way you described them, the divorce should not go through. Further, if you don't know what you are doing, you can really do some serious harm - I used the term 'screw yourself' because its a term most everyone understands to be a bad thing and because you had such a hard time accurately describing your situation I didn't want to compound the issue by being overly 'lawyerly'. Again, I'm sorry you felt the question was answered unprofessionally but I really wanted to convey to you how important it is that you consult with an attorney because while I certainly wish you the best, based on the way your question was worded - you will likely have a difficult time attempting to represent yourself.
