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.

"I have known Ms. Haswell for years. We have been on opposing sides of cases, as well as co-counseled cases together. Ms. Haswell is an excellent attorney with extraordinary compassion and pragmatism. While she is an outstanding litigator, she is also a fierce advocate for her clients, and has a special ability to counsel them to achieve the best results both in an out of the courtroom. I highly recommend her services."
