Uncontested divorce
I was a client of Brittany Kurdziel. I had filed an uncontested divorce in davidson county. I hired Brittany to finish the divorce for $750. I'm no closer to being divorced and I have to hire another attorney for $1000 to get it done.

Replied last March 14, 2018In order to maintain confidentiality I will not address this specific client by name, nor will I go into specific details regarding the case. When a new client retains an attorney after a complaint has been filed pro se, many issues arise, as was the case here. Without the assistance of a legal professional at the time of filing, the pro se litigant filed the complaint for divorce in the improper county. After filing pleadings with the court, the Judge determined that the proper place to file this matter was in another county and by statute, he was unable to grant the divorce in this specific county. My job was to move the case forward, rather than having it dismissed. After the proper jurisdiction was determined, I submitted all necessary pleadings to the court to have the case properly transferred. Because our retainer agreement was specifically for an uncontested divorce in a specific county, a new retainer agreement would have had to be signed to allow me to continue representing this client outside of the county the case was initially filed and the retainer would have included my time for travel and drafting another MDA. Please contact me at your earliest convenience as I am still receiving updated information on your case. Please contact my work cell phone at 615-517-9490 as soon as possible. Thank you
