Forgot To File My Divorce

After waiting 7 weeks for my divorce to be final & the office not returning my phone calls, I called the courthouse to find out paperwork was missing. Apparently the Motion & Final has been sitting on someone's desk for the last several weeks.

Clients that don't want to assume responsibility for themself or their choices are always dissatisfied, no one can make those kind of people happy, it is easier for them to blame everyone else.

Posted by Patrick Wilcox | January 10, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

****DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY ****

I hired Ms. Woodall in 2017, I told her that I needed an attorney that would have my best interest during my divorce. In my opinion What I got was an attorney who was not knowledgeable about the law and constantly asking for money, though we never made it to court. I continuously asked her what my ca...se status was and have you talked to the other attorney. In my opinion it seemed I would almost have to force her to contact my wife's lawyer. It is my opinion that she was never aggressive, she would say I just need another payment to take us to the end of the case but there was never an end. After almost a year of seemingly no results. I asked her to please remove herself from the case. I filed for a hearing myself and hired another attorney. Surprise, surprise I was divorced in a month. From this new attorney I learned that I didn't have to pay the whole mortgage on a house I didn't live in and that my ex wife should have paid at least half. My new attorney asked why I never got an emergency hearing? She said a judge would have made her pay because she had no vested interests to do so. In my opinion that would have been nice to know from Ms. Woodall. I wound up paying the entire mortgage for a year. Then the new lawyer asked me why I was giving my wife 35% of a house she did not buy, never paid mortgage in, and her name was not on the deed. My new attorney explained that she could have gotten that percentage much lower. In my opinion that would have also been nice to know from Ms. Woodall. Instead Ms. Woodall worked a 65% to 35% split. I never write reviews but I am making a special exception for Ms. Woodall. There are thousands of good attorneys in the Atlanta to Dallas GA area, in my opinion she is not one of them. Save your self some time and money by always check reviews when hiring an attorney. In my opinion run from any attorney with low rating on Avvo and other such sites.

I am very sorry that Mr. Wilcox is disappointed in my services. Many facts about his case are left out of this review. It is not necessary to comment on those as this is his perspective of the case. After many months of not paying, it was necessary to send a bill for further representation or I would need to withdraw from his case. Withdrawing from a client's case is always a very last resort, and after many months of trying to work with Mr. Wilcox on paying his invoice. I will always work with a client if they will work with me. Apparently he had the resources to pay a second attorney and I am glad that his case came to an end for him. I encourage all clients to have an on-going and open relationship with my office about their invoicing so there are no surprises.

Excellent Attorney / Custody Case

Angela was a court appointed guardian in my child custody case. Over the past year, Angela was a huge part of mine and my family's life. She was very thorough in her investigations, she did not show or allow favoritism, and she stayed in constant contact via phone or email to check in on the childr...en involved. Overall, Angela is very pleasant to work with, she treats everyone with respect, and I would use her again as my own attorney. A+++++++

excellent work.

I have used Ms. Woodall's services twice in the last dozen years in family court. While these situations are never pleasant, I have been satisfied with her work in both cases. It isn't difficult to find an attorney who will run up your bill with phone calls and letters that accomplish nothing. But... many times, you are better served with a more rational, measured approach. Ms. Woodall was excellent counsel with good strategy and methods. She kept me informed and confident that things would work out as we intended. I would definitely use her again.

Anglea Woodall

I have used Angie for a divorce case and modification of child support. She got me a fair settlement in my divorce and came through for me on the modification. She always responds in a timely manner and even responded to an emergency text late on a Wednesday night. I will continue to use her in th...e future should the need arise and recommend her highly.

"I endorse this lawyer. Angie and I were opposing counsel on a very nasty case years ago. She is a pleasure to work with and always does right by her clients. She appealed one case that was so significant, it made new the law in divorce cases. Highly recommend."

"Angela Woodall works in one of the most thankless areas of the law - handling divorce and custody cases. Most people will never be happy with the results they achieve and never understand how much worse the result would be without a caring and effective attorney representing them. My hat is off to Ms Woodall & I am happy to have the opportunity to endorse her."
