Julie Ann Dichtel Byrd

Attorney Byrd was prompt for her appointment with me, her staff was knowledgeable and told me what I needed to know, and I left after a 1 hour appointment with the divorce papers to take to my husband. I got them signed and took them back, and about 2 and a half months later, I was divorced. And for ...less than an Internet firm that fills out forms charges for the same thing! No court, no hassle. I recommended a friend with a child support matter to her, and the friend was happy with her services in Juvenile Court in Memphis.

I used Attorney Byrd as my the attorney to handle my divorce. The ratind that I read about Mrs. Byrd I can't belive it when I went into her office I never experience the things that some of her clients were mentioning. Her staff wass very perfessional when every I need to spoke with Attorney Byrd her... staff made sure she got the message and she was very good about returning calls, we even communicated through e-mail. Attroney Byrd was very very professional when I met her personally she had her stuff together in other words.Even when my ex-husband had someone posing as his attorney she e-mailed me and mailed out a letter to inform me what was going on . She also advised me that if I didn't want her to response to any of the lettter's that this person was sending let her know and she will stop immedately. I asked her to stop and it was no problem. I think she is a very good attorney. Everyone have their faults so she may had a few faults but that doesn't mean that she not a good atttorney. Maybe there was problems with the clients that gave her the bad review.

I used Julie for my divorce in 2009 so when I went back in Sept 2010 to file contempt charges on my ex who disregards everything with the parenting plan or divorce decree, she charged me $250 and when I arrived at the appointment she was very distracted, said she didn't have a copy of my divorce 'cau...se it was "too hard to get to" and I had to give her a recap. She did not seem focused at all and when I told her I was not gonna be vindictive but wanted to seek justice she told me, "you can't get anywhere by being nice!" Then she told me she had a big case coming up on Friday and that she would have her assistant call me and send me information to get the ball rolling. I never received anything so called her back 3 different times in 3 weeks and the assistant said she would give Julie my message. The last call I made I told the assistant that I wanted my money back since Julie made no attempts to help me. After the assitant got an attitude with me i told her to tell Julie to "have a real good time with my money knowing the financial situation my son and I were in" The next thing you know i get a letter in the mail from Julie stating that due to the way I spoke to her assistant, she will no longer help me and that my file has been closed. I was shocked!!! I am not over this yet. I do know that as soon as I get this battle with my ex over with that a call to the Tennessee Bar association is imminent.

I decided to take a chance on attorney Julie Burd out of Munford, Tennessee. At first, I was impressed. She spoke with a passion about my case and talked about how winnable she thought it was. She came across as a strong individual who would fight for me. I decided to use it despite being immediately... turned off when I learned she charged 200 dollars just to meet with her regardless of whether or not, she took the case. Once the case began, I knew I was in trouble. Mrs.Byrd suddenly became passive, often not knowing the details of the case and allowing the opposing attorney to run the show. She admitted she thought children were better off with their mothers despite the overwhelming evidence I had. I find her sexist in our demeanor and after the first meeting with her, she began to talk more about herself than my case. My exwife and her attorney fought dirty, while she sat there and passively took it. I knew losing was a possibility but I thought she would at least fight.
