Laura Ghee Alexander

I have dealt with at least 20 different attorneys through work and this was the worst experience I have had. My wife took her ex-husband to court over back child support and to increase child support (so we thought). I'm not a lawyer so I don't know the appropriate paperwork to file, we would hope... our lawyer would do whatever was needed in order to achieve our goals. I think our main problem was paying the full amount up front. We had met several times leading up to our court date discussing what state guidelines for support were and how we wanted my wifes exhusband to pay accordingly. We had this discussion over and over again. Well, we had our court date today and the first thing she says is "y'all know you can't increase child support today don't ya? I would have to file more paperwork and you would have to pay another $1500-2500 lawyer fees." Why the hell have we been discussing support for the last FIVE MONTHS if you weren't taking the appropriate steps to take care of it? We had even been trying to make a deal prior to trial where we were offered more support than what she was getting paid now, but we held out because it wasn't as much as the state guideline. Why would Laura let us turn down a deal making more money when she knew we couldn't ask for it during our court date? She is the most incapable and unprofessional attorney I have ever had the displeasure of doing business with. I'm still confused on how this happened. She dropped the ball and showed no remorse. Oh ya, also told my wife we would get our attorney fees back 2 days prior to court but didn't have the confidence to go in and fight for us. Since day one, she has just wanted us to settle out of court so her work would be done.
