Worst lawyer

Hired her for my divorce/child custody, it was all good until I paid her 5 grand and after the trial she disappeared, never received paper work. She did nothing for me during the trial but sit there. She called my ex's attorney when she had any questions. Horrible lawyer!!!

Destin

When we hired Destin for my son's custody of his children and divorce she was a blessing to us and she stuck with us through a whole lot of stuff and then we had mediation and got everything taken care of and she did file the paperwork as she was supposed to but the judge has not signed it and then w...e have to go back to court in July and there's some type of paper has to be filed that we don't even know what it is and we cannot find our lawyer anywhere and we really don't know what to do it's like we've been ghosted so Destin if you read this please Dustin contact Christopher Wehunt he is your client I need you really bad you were so good I don't know what's going on which place contact us

GHOSTED

I never thought I would be ghosted by an attorney. Let alone Ghosted when she was hired to complete the court document for the legitizimation and child custody hearing. We have not heard from her since 3/13/24. We had our hearing on 2/28/24. it is now 5/13/24 and we still have not heard from her, the... email we received on 04/22/2024 was that her offices were relocating and we would be provided with the new numbers and followed up with immediately. THERE HAS BEEN NO COMMUNICATION. She was hired for our final hearing, and we provided her with all the documentation and recordings to show how mental unstable the mother was, and she did not use one single piece, or to try to show the court of her instability. We left that court hearing with the bare minimal of visitation rights and not to mention my partner who has a inunction of stalking against the mother of my children is being punished for protecting herself and is now forced to drop her injunction.

Family law

Destin is an amazing attorney! She was the attorney in my grandson's case and she went over and beyond to make sure he was safe. We were very pleased with the outcome. If you need a great attorney who will get the job done please hire her

Do not waste your time!

We retained Destin for a crucial legitimation/custody case and paid her $2500 retainer just to get started. She failed to respond to ANY of my emails and failed to follow through with 3 scheduled phone calls. Basically she did nothing. We contacted her for advice when I was summoned for a hearing to ...take place in 3 business days in Fla where my girlfriend was hiding with my child to determine how she would handle that or if she could not - what we needed to do in the 3 days we had before appearance. Both my mother and I expressed concern and urgency to no avail. We heard NOTHING from her and were forced to terminate her representation and seek another attorney on an urgent basis. We got more help over the phone with a firm we had not retained than we ever got from Ms Gilliam. Now as we are trying to get refunded she still has not replied to a SINGLE email or phone call and it is our intention to report our experience to the bar. DO NOT waste your time with this attorney!
