A great criminal defense attorney

I hired her for a drug charge in clayton county. She did a really good job for me. I referred her to4people and she's done everything she said she was gonna do. In very pleased with my results. I paid Steve frye 10k in 2004 and his results didn't compare with her.

Poor communication with client

I was "lucky" enough to gain Ms. Hobgood as my attorney for my divorce. She was willing to take my case for a small amount of money. I was very grateful at first, but soon realized that you get what you pay for. She never called, texted or emailed me back. Although she showed up for court every time,... she wasn't helpful to me in court at all. It took almost two years for my divorce to be final. At least I think it's final, I'm not really sure because two weeks later she has yet to call me back after numerous texts and phone messages. She didn't tell me when my last court date was my current wife did that. Because she didn't tell me I wasn't able to get off to go to court. She told me one thing was going to happen, then it went the completely wrong way. I now have to pay half my salary to my ex-wife every month because she chose to be intimidated by the opposing counsel. The court date was two weeks ago I have no paperwork, no divorce decree and no phone call with answers to my questions. So just remember before you hire her you get what you pay for.
