BEWARE!!!

In 2019 I found my husband of 20+ yrs to be in a 3 year old business partnership plus an extra marital affair with a woman whom he had described as a. male friend (a group of male friends to be exact). Needless to say the situation was complicated. Terri S. Herron was referred to me by a family who h...ad a friend who knew of her. Upon meeting Ms. Herron in one of her satellite offices , she seemed very knowledgeable of the divorce law and truly concerned about my case. I hired Ms. Herron after our first consultation. I was given access to a personal portal as well as the right to call the Ms. Herron and her office at anytime. Ms. Herron and her firm hardly ever returned my calls nor EVER gave me settlement documents to review after I filled out paperwork in the office and online. As time drew on (plus we were in the middle of COVID), Ms. Herron’s concern lessened. It was almost impossible to receive a callback or have my questions answered. Ms. Herron was directed by myself to contact me only by my cell phone number so the office knew when I was calling. Eventually my spouse and I decided to receive marital counseling to work on the marriage so I contacted the office and Terri S. Herron picked up by chance ( I think I surprised her) . I explained to Ms. Herron the situation and asked her if there was a chance that I could get a partial refund instead of having her on retainer. She said that a lot of paperwork had been drawn up (as stated earlier, I NEVER received any documentation for review!) and she wasn’t sure how much I would receive. She asked me how much did I pay. . I told her the amount. She said I had paid fior a contested divorce but in actuality she was working on a a uncontested case for me ( my husband wasn’t contesting in the beginning). She agreed I was due a refund and we would discuss the refund amount (minus the fee for “said” paperwork) and to call her in about 2 weeks because she was going on vacation and wouldn’t be in the office. I agreed because I too was going on vacation. Upon my return I called the office several times and left messages for Ms Herron to call me with the receptionist. After this didn’t work, I contacted Ms. Herron directly by private portal. I explained our discussion and agreement and why I was contacting her by private portal email. She never replied or responded. I sent her one more email this time to include copies to Devon Herron, Ms. Herron’s family member who also works at the firm and a person whom I had spoken to on one occasion before. I questioned Ms. Herron ‘s honesty and told her I believed she was avoiding me intentionally plus saying things just to pacify me when we had our discussion. I didn’t threaten her but just stated facts. No reply from either but guess what? ….they deleted my portal access! I called the office and asked what was going on and for copies of my case and incriminating evidence I had turned in on my husband. No reply, continued avoidance and unanswered calls from Ms. Herron and her office. I shouldn’t have given up on this issue but I was at my wits ends.

So thankful

I believe in supporting black owned businesses. So naturally when I needed a lawyer for my divorce I wanted to hire an attorney who I felt was going to take my concerns and ensure me that they were her own. She was professional and no nonsense. My family is forever grateful.

God sent attorney

Attorney Herron is an extremely hard working and professional lawyer who gives in her 100% towards her client. I had a relocation case and got more than what I expected to get. I had heard horror stories about how much money is spent getting a divorce attorney but Ms Herron was very considerate an...d only focused on getting what my child and I deserved rather than running up an unnecessary bill. I had so contacted many attorneys before Ms Herron but I'm thankful to GOD that I retained Ms Herron to do the job for me. She still calls me even after the case is over to check up on how I am doing.

Poor communication and won’t Refund

This has been the worst experience ever. I came to her last December to get an increase in my child support. Then in March when Covid hit they went missing. No updates! Finally in August I requested a refund for the difference in the retainer which was $1700. There was no replies to my emails or pho...ne calls. Finally spoke to her assistant Devon and he was no help. He told me that he had other more important cases they were working on and he will get to it when he can. September he finally requested to be removed from case. They were officially removed in October and I still haven’t received a refund. I’ve called them 3 times a week and get no call back or response to emails. I was forced to contact the Bar association which is still a process with Covid. I forgot to mention she filed a paternity case for visitation and child support. Paternity was already established as well as child support I just needed an increase. I am a single mother and took out a loan to pay her and now they refuse to refund me. She pretends to care in the beginning but she doesn’t. I have paid almost $1800 in fees for nothing. Now a new lawyer has to file for the correct type of case.They don’t return calls, emails and her assistant is Rude!!! Please beware of this Law Firm.

Money Well Spent

17 hours ago I am not from Atlanta, but desperately needed a lawyer to represent me in a child support/custody case. Like many of you, I searched on line and decided to go with Attorney Herron due to some of the reviews I read. After meeting with her, I was still a little unsure. Because of her hour...ly rate, I started to search around more, but time was of the essence. I am now so glad that I decided to go with her. BEST MONEY I've ever spent. Attorney Herron was able to get me custody time with my son. Thanks to her, I now get summer time, spring breaks, weekends and holiday's. I watched her at court work her magic at the first and only trial. She was so good that one was all it took. Hire attorney Herron, you can't go wrong!
