Cherie Lane Cash-Kristinus

I hired her for my initial divorce which went poorly. She was made aware that my child was abused both in her father’s care and by visitors to his home. She was provided with pictures of bruising on my 3 year olds ribs yet he still got joint custody!! I stupidly used her for child support modificatio...n and she arrived almost 2 hours late, I was mortified sitting I the other attorney’s office waiting on my counsel I’d fully paid! I don’t know that she is viewed as competent by her peers as during the modification meeting she constructed a brief on which opposing counsel patted her on the shoulder, praising her for the brief (who the hell was she working for?) I am still ah I got issues with the ex spouse and would be willing to hire someone and pay a pirate’s bounty for good, honest, timely representation. All her cases need to be reviewed and possible disbarment. She is a disgrace. Not just my opinion, she also disappointed a friend I referred to her before my case went down the drain! Run from her as fast as you can! She lies and doesn’t communicate timely!

when i hire her she said she was going to fight my case and she had everything under control but she did not . On the court day she got almost 2 hours late. She took my money for doing nothing !!! The communication was horrible! she was always in a hurry and have something going on her personal life ...and that was the excuse not to talk about my case. she has no heart when she takes the money.

She doesn’t return emails, texts. Then you have to call her but she charges $30 for every 15 min. She explains the process half way. I had to ask her to withdraw from my case. She took my money and didn’t accomplished a thing. It took her about six months to schedule court and then it was just to sch...edule another court date. After that I received a bill. I was desperate for help and she didn’t do a thing for me.

She was hired and paid $2500 in advance of our court date to represent me for child support and a few minor issues with my case, nothing too serious. To my shock and surprise, she showed up to court unprepared to perform and postponed the hearing. I kept my cool as she explained that she would get ...the child support modified and talk to the judge concerning other issues. That was the last I heard from her. She moved out of her office without any notification and did not answer my texts, emails, or calls. The next time I saw her was in The Daily Journal for felony DUI with her minor kids in the car. I filed to have her removed as my attorney and represent myself. She never showed up to the hearings and finally responded to asking me to not remove her as my attorney. She is a compulsive liar, like no other. I filed a complaint with her the Tennessee Bar Association for her behavior. She was supposed to return my money and the file of my case. I have not received either one. This is just a summary. To this day, my child support is messed up. I have my daughter for 122 days out of the year, but pay child support as if I only have her for four days. Do not use her.
