Excellent representation.

I am very grateful for the referral that lead me Ms. Haswell. Her knowledge and confidence helped me through the most difficult experience in my life. I felt much stronger with her in my corner and it paid off. I felt very supported and understood. Highly recommend.

Caring and honest attorney

Working with this lawyer helped me through a very difficult time. She truly cared about my situation. In the beginning she explained the process thoroughly and honestly. Throughout the court proceedings she was knowledgeable and there for me, always having my back. Communication was open and direct a...lways calling me back right away and defending me against the lies and slander that were thrown at me from the opposing party. This attorney has been a life saver, even after the divorce some things came up and she was quick to let me know about it and help me through it. Read less

Honest and trustworthy

After my divorce was filed, Ms. Haswell was recommended. My first consultation was very informative. Ms. Haswell let me know in my first visit what I may be facing in my divorce. She was very realistic and reassuring. Her legal assistant keeps in the loop regarding my case frequently. I feel very con...fident in her and her legal assistant's ability to offer sound legal advice and to be trustworthy. Thank you, Ms. Haswell and Ms. Cannon, you've been a great help and have a heart of service.

Unconcerned

I did not have a lot of assests to divide a mobile home with 5 acres and one shared child 8 year old girl. I was leaving my ex husband a narcissist who transgressed against my eldest daughter (16 yrs) in a perverted manner. He did not have a lawyer and we had the upper and could’ve easily out maneuve...red him in court (he often lost his temper in front of judge and showed no concern for children’s well being), all she was concerned with was getting majority time sharing. I was awarded majority time sharing, but no child support, no final answer on my home, lost everything else because she did not work hard (or at all) to establish anything else in my favor. He was actually awarded more time then he should’ve gotten because she was unfamiliar with Third Circuit Court time sharing procedure in Lake City, yet she took on the case and charged me a lot of travel expensive for it. She was even late due to traffic!! I was charged $1700 to file a contempt notice, the ex was fined $1000 and it was never recovered, I’ll let you do the math. I was at her office and heard her reassuring words and competent gameplan when she was speaking to other clients, but she always seemed lazy when it came to my case. I felt unsatisfied and kinda brushed aside. I was green and I feel like she taught me a hard lesson. Only the lawyers win and they don’t really care about your family.

very unfortunate experience

I don't believe she steered me in an unethical way regarding my divorce. However, numerous mistakes and errors were made by both her and her paralegal. This included filing the wrong motions, making mistakes regarding details of documents that were formed, and billing errors. When those mistakes w...ere confronted, I was billed for time for her to fix them. Getting any credit for errors, which wound up happening every cycle, was a battle for reimbursement. If you want more stress in a probably already stressful time, hire her. If not, do yourself a favor and hire someone else. I think her intentions are in the right place, but her office needs serious work.
