Alicia Regina Seward

I would not recommend this attorney for any reason. We met and she informed me of the of my rights and laid out a plan of action. I really thought she was trust worthy and would help me so I paid her $2,100.00. I waited for her follow-up on plan of action and to contact me with update. I did not hear... from her. I called and was told that she sent out a email. I never got an email. No communication over 3-4 months. I left messages no return calls .5 months I called again because the people that she was to notify stated they did not receive any notification from her. I continued to call finally she return call. She had not done any work on my case. Could not answer any questions I ask as to where she was in handling my case. She was asking me questions she initially asked on our first meeting also asking for information already provided. The conversation ended when she states I needed to pay another $500.00 after having already paid $2100.00 that I got nothing for. I decided it was best to cut my losses and end this relationship. She did nothing, but according to contract I cannot get any portion of my money back. I signed the contract thinking some action would be taken. I got 2 very expensive conversations and this did include the $75.00 I paid for initial consultation. This was a very costly learning experience for me.

Alicia was quick to meet me for 30 minutes free consultation and gave me several good pointers so I decided to hire her. She appeared to the court hearing and won the case for us ( it was an no-brainer win anyway). When Judge asked her whether he should write the final judgment or she will. She eager...ly answered she will. But she didn't submit it until 2 weeks later. All my calls to her assistant went to deaf ear. Never received any answer. We had to take the case in our own hands. So we went to the sheriff's office requesting eviction enforcement. They asked for writ of possession, which we didn't have. We started calling around the court clerk. Nobody can give a straight answer where it is. One clerk says it's in Plant City court where we had the hearing, another said it was in Brandon court where we initially filed. The lawyer finally called ( because sheriff office called her asking why it was us, not her calling sheriff's office). She claimed that she had the originally stamped writ of possession and just mailed out to our home that morning (we still haven't received it after 3 weeks. Obviously she was lying. She never mailed anything to our home). After numerous calls and extreme frustration, sheriff's office finally told us that they got it and will proceed. From the hearing on May 3 until now, we only received one call from her which was a lie and couple of emails with electronic version of writ of possession which was useless. We still haven't received the monetary judgment against our deadbeat tenants. We will have to search in the dark to find that out. Hope it's there somewhere. If it doesn't exist, what should we do. I feel this is an extremely negligent, dishonest and irresponsible attorney. We plan to file complaint in Florida Bar Association. and put her attorney fee in our credit card dispute because not only we didn't receive the service, we were damaged by her terrible service.
