Horrible

This woman is incompetent and unprofessional. She lets her constituents personal feelings get in the way of her legal decision-making and seems to be quite mentally unstable. She is also extremely condescending and vindictive. Literally the epitome of a unstable psychopath with a law degree.

Please DO NOT solicit her services. Many times she did not call me back, she gave me the impression that she was actually working with the other attorney, she did not work to resolve my concerns in a timely manner. Often times when asked to pursue other alternatives, she would complain of a possibil...ity of going to court and I would be responsible to the charges. She did not work to get me what was rightfully mines. I would NOT ever recommend her. She has a laid back approach to what was concerning me and my future!!!!!

Sir, I am sad that you feel this way about our encounter. I worked very hard on your case and on your behalf. You know that in your heart. In the end, it was very hard to communicate and reason with you and you were no longer listening to my advice. I assisted you with a variety of matters and got you great outcomes. At some point, your expectations were not in line with the posture of your cases and with that, we had to part ways. I certainly wish you all the best!!!

did not help at all ,

I wanted to use this law firm, but I never received call back when correspondence was promised (time was of the essence), I. had to call to receive an answer and I was not really helped. I was left to handle my problem by myself and told to contact party without representation myself to see what happ...ens. It was very disappointing and I wasn't even given someone else as a reference. because they were affiliated they didn't want to pursue or help and that was very disappointing. Maybe you all will have a better experience, but I did not and was let down.

I am truly sorry that you feel this way. After extended consultation with you and other involved parties during which we discussed at length possible resolutions (at no charge), I chose not to accept your case for the myriad of reasons we discussed, the least of which being that I believe that there is a conflict of interest which could affect my representation. This post assures me that I made the right decision. I wish you the best in your endeavors. Be blessed.

Divorce lawyer review

I hired Beatrice Scott for my divorce lawyer in December 2018. She did a very poor job . My ex- husband was very abusive and I am disabled from his abuse. She didnt set up police protection for me to get out my personal belongings. She knew he disregarded the list of items I asked for at meditation t...hat ex- agreed to and signed off on. She allowed ex lawyer to type it out then ex s lawyer stated that the items that I asked for was ex- husband s "personal property". I had to beg ex- husband for my familys antiques and my personal belongings.She knew he withdrew all funds from our joint bank account . She knew my ex committed perjury in court but didnt reveal it to the judge. I never got emergency alimony. She lied to me at mediation and told me that I wasnt suppost to see ex- husbands financial affidavit. I asked her 3 times and she stated it wasnt up for full disclosure. She knew ex- husband was having an affair because I had pictures of their conversations on my phone but never disclosed it to the judge in court. She knew my ex - husband hid assets but didnt disclose it in court because that would of proven that she never did a financial affidavit on him. She knew my ex- husband had a secret bank account because I told her my daughter opened it, his checks were being directly deposited into this account but she never disclosed it to the judge She is not a good lawyer and I would not recommend her to watch my hamster! I have made a 25 page complaint to the Georgia barr association and plan to make other complaints against her as well! I had to fire her before she screwed up my very tiny settlement that I did get that the Georgia law made him give me!!!

The Bar Complaint was immediately dismissed. The fact that you are not happy with your outcome is not a reflection of the work that I did. I worked very hard and went above and beyond in your matter to assist you.
