Misty Priest

Misty Priest is very actively involved in every aspect of my case. Misty is a very meticulous, professional and compassionate attorney. I would highly recommend her services to anyone in search of a lawyer.

A brilliant lawyer you can trust

Mrs Priest advised me on a tax related matter. I took the information provided and passed it along to my accountant. My accountant was so impressed that he asked for her contact information so he could pass it along to other clients in the future. She was responsive to my calls, even while she was... on vacation, and you could tell she genuinely cared about my situation. That was comforting since dealing with the IRS is no vacation. She even called back after she returned to work to make sure my problem was resolved. I give her the highest of recommendations!

Unprepared, drags her feet.

I have gone back and forth for months about whether to do this review. I consider myself a loyal person and I really like Ms. Priest as a person, I just don't think she is a competent attorney. She cost me thousands and thousands of dollars and got me zero results. She always had a great plan or a gr...eat excuse for why things turned out why they did, but she never followed through on anything. Seemed intimidated in the court room.

Horrible lawyer....lacks attention to detail even when given notice that she needs to pay attention to detail.

Firstly, I was a client of Misty Priests firm. I hired her for a contempt of court motion filed against me (civil). Let me start by stating that I fore warned her about the tactics used by the opposing attorney. It came down to A) I was not held in contempt. B) The amount I was ordered to pay was $80...00, that was supposed to cover 5 months of back pay. C) The opposing attorney wrote the motion so that the $8000 only covered me for 4 months. D) Misty Priest signed off on this paper without consenting with me (her client first) and secondly, wanted to charge me MORE money to fix HER mistake. I have paid through the (horrible) services that I was rendered up to the point where the Judge signed the paperwork. This was the point where she decided to show me the actual paperwork and I pointed out her error. She has since tried charging me an additional $1000 to fix HER MISTAKE! Bring your money elsewhere if you're dealing with family law.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
