Posted by Susan | September 17, 2026 | Hired Attorney

INCOMPETENT THIEF

Intentional "Ghosting" and Non-Appearance: After securing my funds, Attorney Deakins completely ceased all communication and ghosted me. He intentionally failed to appear at my critical child custody hearing. 3 Judicial Negligence and Collusion: Both Attorney Deakins and the presiding judge had full..., explicit knowledge of my physical location and my status as a vulnerable disabled veteran And it resulted in my ex husband who is a felon and active fugitive given custody by Rhea county judge Cochran and COMPLETE FAILURE OF DEAKINS. I HAVE REPORTED BOTH TO THE TENNESSEE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
