I am giving two stars because Alex her para legal was GREAT! I hired her to help me with obtaining uncontested admin papers for my son's estate on August 4, 2020. I ran out of retainer trying to get her to actually execute that request and here it is January 21, 2021 and she has not gotten me admin ...yet. I've had to tell her that the courts would not accept a surety bond via email. She told me the delay was because the Forsyth County Judge had lost his seat. That did not happen until December 31st. So really that wasn't the delay and it was not the truth when she said it at the beginning of December. The truth is that she dropped the ball on me, billed me for questions I had to ask three and four times for an answer, even though my initial query asked for step by step details. I had to ask her three times for the amount of the surety bond before she actually sent me the paper work to accomplish that. She would "Be on Leave" twice when I had critical "What's going on with my case" encounters. The email exchanges were not at all professional sounding, more like a casual exchanges, one where she misspelled my sons name and another where she said she filed in Rabun County, when she had actually filed in Forsyth. All in all she ran through the retainer and didn't accomplish even the most simple task of getting me the uncontested admin papers for my son's estate. I wouldn't use her ever again.
