Sharon L. Barksdale

This review comes 4 years later but the disappointment still remains after all these years. I truly believe that Sharon Barksdale is an attorney that preys on people that need her services. She is all about getting her money and not fulfilling her obligations. I was going through a terrible divorce, ...Sharon cared all in the consultation meeting about my well-being but once she received her retainer’s fee, it was like she could care less. It took her forever to file my documents, when you called her there was never an answer. When you did get in contact you were made to feel like she was doing you a favor and that your being somewhat of a bother. Sharon makes false promises and mysteriously NEVER remembers what she tells you. I hired her and it almost made me feel like she was working for the other side. One day she forgot we had court one morning, I had to call her and ask her where was she I was waiting in the courthouse for her. She forgot! She screwed up my final child support paperwork. Also, deep down I think she prolonged my case just to try and squeeze more money out of me and what’s so sad is that she was recommended by another attorney. Go figure! It’s about time this woman retires….Please if you’re seeking legal counsel go elsewhere! Run!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hired her for a divorce. I have been abused in just about every way by my husband and at the time I retained her services I had an infant (4 months) and an almost 2 yr old. I needed to get out fast but had no money because I was a stay at home Mom. I borrowed money from my Grandmother and gave h...er all I could. Four months later Mrs. Barksdale still had not filed the divorce, even though she promised me it would be two weeks after I retained her. Almost every time I called her, she did not answer. She never returned voicemails. I left too many to count. At the 4 month mark my husband finally had me served and she said she would prepare a response and sent it. My husband then dropped the divorce, but I wanted her to file because I want out! Finally after 4 more months passed, I got her on the phone by asking for my money back because I found another attorney. She would only refund the filing fee and serving fee (obviously she did not do either) and said the rest was used working the case! She also said that if I wanted her to file still, I needed to give her more money! So here I am, miserable a whole year later because I trusted the wrong person. I cannot borrow any money from my Grandma because she recently passed away. Every time I asked her why it had not been filed or at least something started, she told me her computer was in the shop several times, she lost data (I thought professionals know to backup their work?), and she was busy with other things that were all happening at once! I wish I had never met her! If it were not for get, I could have used that money for someone who could have helped me and maybe I would be ok now instead of still living in hell!
