Allison A Belcher

Allison was my attorney for my divorce. She was very professional and always returned calls and emails. In court my experience with Allison was fantastic as she stood up to the opposing attorney and stopped her right in her tracks when she tried to argue against why I should not get the terms I was l...ooking for. She fullflled her obligation and as far as I'm concerned won my case for me. Furthermore, I have compete confidence in her and even referred my brother and another friend.

First off, I was never given what has been explained to me by my new attorney to be basic family law 101 questions which were forwarded to Allison almost a year before I was given them to answer and the opposing counsel had me looking like I was failing to respond to the questions pertaining my matte...r. Then to top it all off while in court discussions where had by all, however an order was drawn up by opposing counsel to which I rebutted and made corrections. The corrections were never made by Allison or her paralegal and now I have an order in place to which I had to hire a new attorney to handle. While in court Allison came to the Judges table with 3, ill say it again 3 pieces of paper, 1 was her argument and the other 2 were scratch paper, meanwhile my entire legal binder was left sitting on the chair behind us, next to the deputy. People had subpoena's issued but were never questioned by her. However they were on time and prompt about payments and withdraws from the account. When asked to speak with her boss about this situation, it took them well over a week to get back to me and then when I asked for help with this matter, I was told to do whatever I had to do, no relief would be afforded and that his attorneys are not bound to disclose all information regarding YOUR case in reference to negotiations. I had two paralegals assigned to my case both of which really had no desire to assist me with any answers except give me the proverbial, "Ill ask the attorney and get back with you" however the charges for that answer continued. Very DISSAPOINTED with the professionalism shown and the ETHICS involved. I am moving forward with this to a HIGHER LEVEL that is responsible for overseeing the conduct of attorneys, as I believe this seems to be a trend with this Firm and someone has to be held accountable for these actions. I say these things not out of anger but the truth, lawyers cannot be held accountable for what a Judge decides however there is work that is EXPECTED to be completed on behalf of a client and as a LAWYER you should do your job to the fullest of your potential, shortcuts should never be taken as these situations impact the lives of CHILDREN and ADULTS for a good majority of time.
