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.

Rude

While answering questions, she makes the person answering sound dumb. She’s rude when answering questions. It’s a simple answer and if she’s going to be rude, then why answer the question.

You sound how you sound - that's all on you. You are the one who typed the question not me. If you felt dumb - that's on you too. Normal people understand that when you ask a question on a public forum that you may not get the response you hoped for. Normal people also simply disregard answers they don't like and move on. Normal people also understand that you don't get to dictate how others respond and that you are not entitled to answers that meet with your approval. In short - you make yourself sound dumb as you have done in this review which didn't even put a dent in my 4 star standing because thankfully, there are still way more normal people in the world who are happy with my answers and services than there are entitled people like you who mistakenly believe others must comply with your sense of how things should be done.

Unprofessional

I find that Amanda was very unprofessional with her response to a question I stated on AVVO directed towards an attorney I previously spoke to. Instead of her giving her expertise or advice as a licensed lawyer, she make a mockery and joke of my question.

You never consulted with me. You asked a question on a public forum and I answered it. Of course, you had already asked your question prior and had other attorneys answer it, yet you seem to think you know better than them because you have done some 'research'. Bottomline, when you ask a question on a public forum, you do not get to dictate the responses you get. While you clearly would have preferred a different style of answer, you simply aren't entitled to it. I however, am entitled to answer your joke of a question in the manner I see fit. Besides what would be the point of answering your question a second time? You have already asked the question and got responses. Do you really think the answers will change? While there's nothing wrong with getting a second opinion, exactly how many attorneys does it take all telling you the same thing before you become just a giant waste of everyone's time?

Not helpful

I do not have a DUI! Did not give me the information I asked for! Her tone in her writing was not appropriate. The other attorney gave me great information and were very kind.

Overall, I have a 4 star review. Most people love my answers but on occasion some overly sensitive and entitled people like you apparently are don't and that is to be expected and frankly, is as it ought to be - normal people know this. Of course you don't have a DUI, I never said you did - North Carolina doesn't even have DUI's. Because you apparently don't even know that much, more likely your problem was that you didn't ask the right question to get the information you think you need - that's on you. Also, if you are the one who asked if you could 'phone in' a continuance request if you could not get to court because of bad weather, then I wasn't even the one who mentioned DUI - it was Derek R. Caldwell. As to you expecting me to hold your hand like a little girl and pat you on the head and say everything will be alright like your mommy did when you got a boo boo - yeah, I don't do that. You don't get to dictate how I respond, normal people understand that as well and also understand that when they post a question on a public forum they will likely get all sorts of responses, some they will like and some maybe not so much so. I have zero obligation to respond in a manner that you approve of. You are presumably grown and ought to be able to handle a frank and curt answer in a forum where space is limited. So if you don't like my tone - that's on you as well. If those two things are the basis for your review, then then two good things will come out of it for me: 1) is that normal people reading it will give your review the merit it deserves which is to ignore it as the ramblings of someone who incorrectly thinks the responses they get on a public forum should only be ones they approve of and 2) it will encourage undesirable people like you (who I don't like to have to deal with anyway) to steer clear of me. Which is win, win for me so thank you for that much at least.

Posted by Eddie | June 15, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

I didn't check reviews!

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!

You hired us to handle a traffic ticket that you ignored for 15 years - we did that. You did not hire us to restore your driving privilege, you were told in no uncertain terms, we don't handle DMV matters and that you needed to make arrangements to pay your own reinstatement fee. Then you basically cried, then were rude and by your own admission - hung up on us (likely to go to your safe space) because I wasn't taking any of your crap. My firm does not coddle or kowtow to rude, entitled people like other businesses or law firms may do because they are afraid of bad reviews. Generally, you get what you give in this world and this is as it should be. When you act like a jerk to us - we are going to treat you accordingly. Anyone hiring a lawyer should not want one who sucks up to rude people like you and anyone reading your review ought to ignore it.
