Sharon L. Barksdale

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!
