Bait and Switch

Do some research before you hire Mrs.Burdine, she’s great, and will take your retainer and set you up on a payment plan, but won’t do anything in terms of setting up a court date or actually giving you a rundown of what “they’re doing” countless conversations about where my money was going to, and ...what actual “work” they were doing in my case . Several attempts to get clarification on everything with family court. Not to mentioned filed in the wrong county However, I had retained her for about 3 1/2 months and we didn’t have one court date set for a parenting plan hearing. Then she proceeds to contact my other attorney for an order of protection that I was dealing with to say that their law firm was a better fit for me. I think it’s pure laziness and it doesn’t matter whether you think they are a better fit if I hired you, do your job. Money down the drain FOR LITERALLY NOTHING . Waste of time . If you don’t wanna practice in a specific county, it’s simple tell your client you don’t practice in that county. Don’t waste their time and money . Be better . Your playing with folks lives

Divorce

First off. You have to be realistic. When it comes to court there’s going to be things that are out of your lawyers control. Ms. Burdine worked for me, advised me, and actually seemed to care how I felt about things. It’s a divorce it’s going to be ups and downs. Her and her team really make it known... there working for you and are on your side every step of the way. Some things weren’t perfect but again, honestly it’s court there’s a lot of moving parts to the process that are not in her control. Will always keep ms. Burdine’s phone number and wouldn’t hesitate to retain her again. My personal experience was a very good would one. And I would recommend her to any man or woman when it comes to divorce or custody issues.

She did a great job.

I called Hannah Pelham on a holiday weekend. She actually called me back on Memorial Day! My husband and I were in a very tight spot concerning our grandchildren. We needed to intervene for grandparent visitation in a hurry. Mrs.Pelham understood and was very sympathetic to our cause. She jumped int...o gear and had our motion filed immediately. She worked hard for us. Unfortunately she was unable to finish our case because she moved. Before she moved she made sure we had a new attorney based on a referral. She met with our new attorney got him up to speed on our case. The transition was seamless. She was great to work with and I wish her the best in her new location. Sincerely, Pat LF

Child Custody Case

I contacted Mrs. Pelham for my daughter and granddaughter when I realized my daughter was being bullied and controlled by the paternal grandparents. When my daughter would not do what the father or grandparents wanted they continued to threaten her in more ways then one. For any man or women to be ...in a controlling relationship is bad enough but when a child is involved makes this even worse. Whatever the case may be Mrs. Pelham has put my daughter at ease. My daughter is a young mother so this has been a very scary and overwhelming case as it can be at any age. Mrs. Pelham wants what is best for my grandchild and daughter and has continued to try to keep peace and mediation between both parties. Although in our case the other party hired a lawyer to continue to try and bully us through courts just as the ex spouse did in the relationship. Mrs. Pelham knows when the time is right to step in and say enough is enough. Mrs. Pelham continues to impress me with knowing the laws to put a stop to the things the other side continues to throw at my child. Some lawyers will tell you what you want to hear so you will continue to give them money as the case with my daughter's ex's attorney. This is sad and not good for anyone. Mrs. Pelham really cares for the clients she works with and will tell you exactly the truth as to what she can do for you. If you want a caring, honest, knowledgeable (knows the law) , attorney who will fight for you and your family I recommend Mrs. Pelham. You can tell Mrs. Pelham loves what she does. Whatever it is you need, Mrs. Pelham is there for you and your family and never makes false promises!! Mrs. Pelham has put me and my family at ease. As the grandmother and mother of Mrs. Pelham's client I highly recommend her as an attorney! Thank You So Much for helping my daughter get through this very intense time.

THE BEST MOST CARING ATTORNEY I HAVE HIRED

I have been through many attorneys due to a divorce/ child visitation and support issues and got nowhere. I needed someone who truely was on my side and would fight for my rights as a parent with tenacity and gumption...and I found that in Hannah! She is professional, proficient, timely, and most of... all the best legal voice I had ever had. She went above and beyond and even helped me find and work with an out of state attorney that I had to hire. I highly recommend Hannah for her outstanding work and dedication!
