Jennifer Hooks Lawrence

I hired this lawyer due to her rating in Martin and Hubble and the fact that she won best of the best in divorce attorneys. I had only 2 weeks to hire someone and she met with me 2 days before my hearing. This is where things started going bad. Initially she appeared interested but ultimately did no...t correctly analyze the underlying cause. She used no character witnesses even when I requested them and gave several names to her following my ex wife's use of witnesses. She stated the judge was not interested in that. She did little or no discovery, had ineffective cross examination and let my ex wife's attorney 'run the show'. We were told by several sources that it was noted "her heart was not in this case". I talked with her several times about retaining other counsel but she told me we were doing ok and were where we were 'supposed to be' . I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and she is truly a nice person but in the end I had to hire another attorney to salvage the terrible position I had been left in.
