Abandoned me completely after 10yrs as my attorney and a $5000 retainer

Drew Bishop was my trusted, and always on point, go to attorney for the past decade. I saw him as more than just my attorney, after ten years and multiple cases, I also thought of him as my friend. This past year and a half has been the worst of my life. My, now 3 y/o daughter, was taken away from me... last year by DeKalb County DFCS, when my ex, her father set me up in an act of revenge for having ended our relationship. He is a drug addict, drug dealer, has multiple felony battery convictions for acts of extreme abuse he committed against me, and because, he is a deadbeat dad to not just my daughter, but to 4 other kids he’s had by three other women. Abused all of them, the mother’s and his own kids, and never paid a dime in child support. I have fought for my life over the past year and a half against my ex and his abuse, and with the SEVERE corruption that exists in DeKalb County. DeKalb DFCS is an abomination, at best. DeKalb officers aided my ex, while he had an active warrant for his arrest in Fulton County, to remain on the streets while he tortured me, literally, for four straight months last summer, from June 19-October 6. Drew Bishop was the one who called the police to my home the day that led to my daughter being removed. He promised he would be here for me in the case that followed. I paid him $5000, which is double his retainer, which he said was because “DeKalb County is difficult..” hence the doubles fee. Drew has not returned countless calls, emails, texts, or even met with me in person not once since being hired on in December! He has completely abandoned me. I had a dfcs hearing last week that I had to attend, humiliated, without legal counsel. He still won’t return any calls. And now my daughter is going to be taken from me permanently.

MY HERO!!!!

Talk about above and beyond...!!!! This guy is truly the People's Champion! Even though I could not afford his VERY reasonable fees, he still coached and counseled me through a very traumatic and frightening bullying scare tactic that my ex-husband set up by means of a trumped up temporary protec...tive and custody order claiming I committed Family Violence against him and our 5 year old son. He broke the petitioner's case apart and gave me the tools to successfully break it down myself in court, pro se. What an amazing talent this guy has for cutting to the root of a situation and debunking it on a foundational level. DREW IS THE MAN!!!!
