Elizabeth Ann Amond

I was a military spouse and hired Ms. Amond to represent me in my divorce and child custody case. She was very unorganized, difficult to get ahold of, and appeared to have very little knowledge of family law and the process in general. She showed up to our first hearing with the judge and brought two... large law books. She proceeded to look up information to present to the judge, including definitions of legal terms for her argument. My ex-husband's attorney came armed with numerous documents and questions for me. Ms. Amond never asked my ex any questions and brought no evidence of his multiple affairs, never discussed his physical and mental abuse towards me, nor the fact that when I went home to Indiana to be with my family, my ex went AWOL from the Navy, drove through the night and showed up at 5am, banging on the door and brought our large dog and had a gun in the car and refused to leave until I came out to talk to him. The police were called and a report filed, etc. She was a complete embarrassment in front of the judge. She was so slow in filing the paperwork for the divorce petition, that after nearly 2 months, my ex's attorney filed instead. My ex was able to drain all of our accounts, block me from all access to our assets and wasn't supporting our daughter for nearly 4 months. She never filed anything to have him held accountable for anything that he did. I ended up hiring a new attorney halfway through the process and thankful that I did, but much of the damage was already done. It's been 10 years since this all took place and I still cannot believe how awful she was. Do not hire this attorney for anything, but especially anything to do with family law. She is a joke.

I feel I got reldroad I knew I had my case beat but having trust in Elizabeth amond just wasn't good.here's my situation driving with a busted tail light that resulted in a car search that led to finding a small amount of cocaine,I can't Even talk about it it makes me upset knowing I had a wining ca...se and lost.

When we first hired Ms. Amonds firm, we were given to Cheryl Alverson, another criminal defense attorney at the office, and were told by Ms. Alverson that certain things would be done and documents filed; we were also told that she would have a bond hearing set up before the arraignment. After a whil...e of things not getting done that she stated she would have done, we set up a meeting with Ms. Amond, the owner of the firm. When we arrived they were already having a meeting about our case because they knew that the ball had been dropped. Ms. Amond gave us her word that Ms. Alverson would have nothing more to do with our case and that she would personally handle it from now on. When the bond hearing finally rolled around 2 weeks AFTER the arraignment, we were told that Ms. Alverson would be representing him at his bond hearing because Ms. Amond had a federal trial that Ms. Alverson is not licensed to participate in. Ofcourse we were aggravated, but because Ms. Amond gave us her word that she would be handling his case, and she could not get out of the federal trial, we agreed. Two days later, we were told that Ms. Alverson would be handling our case for the rest of December. Finally, at the docket day, Ms. Alverson announced that they were ready for trial, so I spoke to their office about it and was told that there would be an additional $1500.00 fee for taking the case to trial (I knew that it would be an extra fee because it was in the contract that I signed), but I got the bill three days ago and it said that I owed $3000.00 for the trial fee. I cannot stand it when people say that they are going to do something and they don't. I don't want you to tell me something just because that's what I want to hear, I want to be told the truth and giving someone your word, especially a client, and then going back on that, is absolutely WRONG! I would not recommend this firm to anyone. They have been untrustworthy since the day we hired them. We are in the process of hiring a new attorney.
