Amanda Bowden Johnson

The rudest most unprofessional and laziest lawyer I have ever experienced! When stationed at Camp Lejuene more than 15 years ago I got a ticket before deployment to Iraq. I since returned and left North Carolina forgetting about the ticket. After getting a license from two separate states I moved t...o Georgia and realized Georgia would not give me a license because of a 15 year old ticket in North Carolina. I hired this lawyer to restore my driving privilege in North Carolina so I could get a drivers license in Georgia. She assured me if there was nothing more than the ticket she could get the ticket handled and my driving privilege restored. She got the ticket handled and notified me so. I went to Georgia DMV where they told me my driving privilege was not restored in North Carolina so I still couldn't get a license. I called Houser, first she said for me to call North Carolina DMV because there must be another infraction. I called, DMV, from Georgia, and it turns out even though I paid her in advance she didn't pay the reinstatement fee. North Carolina DMV tells me that I need to arrive in person or have someone come in and pay, in person. I called her back, explained the situation and she got downright nasty! She said, what do you expect from a 15 year old ticket? I was stunned! I offered to pay an additional fee just to get this cleared up. houser refused and got even nastier and said she only goes to court and not DMV! I was mortified and hung up the the phone. Clearly this woman is in the wrong business!

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.

I would most certainly not recommend her to anyone what so ever. She was nice at first when my husband met her but after that we couldn't get ahold of her at all. She was either busy or not in her office. We've had our case go on for 7 months now and we can't get ahold of her to find anything out abo...ut our case. We've left her multiple phone calls and left messages with her reception lady for a call back but no phone call. I'm very mad at the fact that we have already paid her in full and she can't do her job. How is it hard to call your client back to give them the information they need?

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.

Had a horrible experience with Amanda. She makes accusations and spent more time counseling me about things that were irrelevant than getting me answers to my problems. Shes obviously inexperienced and new to this profession (licensed 3 years). She will get no where fast and lose alot of potential... clients if she doesnt learn to listen and read between the lines with limited information. Then ask questions to get the facts, instead of being sarcastic and rude. Its unappreciated and unprofessional!
