Mildred Rita Metts

Ms. Metts would not follow up on my e-mails about questions I had. She was not prepared therefore she did not fight for me. Because of her error items that was suppose to have been in the divorce decree were left out when I brought it to her attention Sept 2016 she said she would explain it to th...e judge so I can get an amended decree and since then I have been sending her e-mails and to this day it seems as if she is confused about what the issue is. Her explanation on Feb. 28, 2017 sounds like it is left to the opposing attorney for me to have the right to go back to court when the opposing attorney client( which is my ex-husband) has violated the judge order. Overcharged and was not represented.

Ms. Metts was inconsistent and not always well prepared. We arrived for our first consultation and she was there but said she did not have us on her calendar. That should have been a sign. Unfortunately, we chalked it up to a scheduling error. Once retained, she did not return phone calls promptly... and the custody case dragged on long after it should because she was not proactive, nor responsive. It was a frustrating experience.

I chose to do a phone consultation which was scheduled January 31st. My VISA was charged immediately. Because I didn't receive a call from Atty. Metts at the appointed time, I called more than 3 times. The office phone merely rang. Come Monday morning I called, greeted with an apology and unsatisfa...ctory explanation (that did not include called to court, deathbed, death in the family) something other than "we left early." Secretary's questions asked and answeddred during multiple phone calls, never once speaking with the attorney herself. Refund requested but not honored.
