Ulice Sauls III

I hired this attorney to represent me in a custody matter after an initial consultation where he presented what sounded like a well thought out strategy and gave me confidence in the direction of my case. Unfortunately, my experience was very different from what was promised. Many of the actions d...iscussed during the consultation were never carried out. I also felt he was far too accommodating to opposing counsel and did not advocate for my interests the way I expected. A case that I believed had a very strong factual foundation turned into an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience. I paid more than $25,000 in legal fees, yet my case never even made it to a court appearance while he represented me. Based on my experience, I did not receive the level of representation or value I expected for the amount I paid. I encourage prospective clients to read reviews carefully across multiple platforms before making a decision.

Trey Sauls is a horrible attorney! Don't waste your money! If you hire this man you will lose in court. In a very simple military divorce case Trey Sauls convinced that he could convince the court to make my spouse pay my attorney fees. He filed a motion for attorney fees and lost. We ultimately... went to court and lost the divorce case in court. Do not waste one dollar on hiring this man. He will play on your emotions and convince you that he knows what he is talking about. After you lose your divorce case with this man he will continue to bill you for hours that he didn't spend on your case. Do your self a favor and DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY for your divorce!

My divorce was simple. No property, no children, married for a little bit over year and separated for most of it due to a military deployment. In addition, there was evidence of my spouse being involved romantically with another person during our marriage. Trey was never available, nor did he kee...p me informed of the progress or lack there of of my case. He managed to accomplish absolutely NOTHING with the five thousand dollars I had paid him leading to the court date. I flew in for my court hearing and Trey was NOWHERE to be found. I went before the judge with no representation and was rail rail roaded. I was a t a loss for words when Trey's firm reached out to me in an effort collect more in bogus charges. I wish I would've reached it and networked to find a lawyer instead on being taken advantage of by his firm. I shared this experience with a family friend who was a lawyer and he was blown away by the way my case was handled. It was only when I threatened to contact The American Bar Association that he reached out to me and agreed that i didn't owe him any further payment. This was my first experience with a lawyer and made the mistake of being naive enough to buy into his speach on our initial consultation. I've since then worked with another attorney for business matters and the difference between a professional honest lawyer and Trey Sauls could not be more drastic.

I retained Trey Sauls to handle my custody case in July 2014. At the initial consultation Mr. Sauls appeared to be knowledgeable, professional and his hourly rate was reasonable enough, $350/hour. Upon commencing representation, Mr. Sauls did not demonstrate any competency at all. E.g. I asked him ...to obtain certain reports for my case and he told me that it is impossible; while the other attorney was able to get these reports within one week. Mr. Sauls advised me to take some testing for the case for which I spent additional $1500, and as I found later it was absolutely not necessary. Mr. Sauls did not complete required court documentations within reasonable time, however was generous in hourly billing. Mr. Sauls was invoicing hours in access of what was actually spent and regardless of whether anything was done on the case or not, i.e. we attended the court were we spent 2 hours from the beginning to the end with the hearing of only 10 minutes, and he billed me 5 hours. Also, Mr. Sauls continued billing me even after he stopped working on my case. The billing invoices did not come when the retainer was about to exhaust as it states in the contract. So, when I eventually get the invoice it was already way beyond my control. As a result, I end up with the bill of nearly $17,000 in 2.5 months, just to transfer the case from one county court to the other. Eventually, I have filed for fees arbitration with State Bar of Georgia. I do not recommend Mr. Saul. He did not have the strategy for the case and did not deliver the quality work.
