Julie Ann Dichtel Byrd

Julie Byrd was hired 12/16 as my divorce attorney she never return calls. Carol the paralegal is very rude when you call the office for Julie Byrd and she hung up the phone on you. Really do not if Julie is aware or even concern because I paid last you and still do not have the correct paperwork afte...r Carol was notified that it was a error on the divorce decree. This law firm is a joke.

I knew more about what was going on in her life than she knew about my divorce case. She made the outcome of my divorce case sound very good and promising in the beginning. She never returned my phone calls or kept me informed after initially hiring her. When we finally went to mediation her tune and... demeanor changed when my estranged husband made a settlement offer of ten thousand dollars. She insisted that I accept the offer because she was receiving 3,300 dollars of that amount. I did not want to agree to this, I even tried to leave and then she said if I left without signing I would be held in contempt of court. I was very upset, and scared after she told me this I felt that I was coerced into signing. Her integrity should be held in question as should her ethics. I called her the next morning and fired her. I had to hire another atty. Needless to say out of the 10,000 she got her 3,300. I would not recommend her to anyone by no means on the face of this earth for anything!!!! Beware!!!!

When I was seeking an attorney for my divorce, I wanted quality and value. Mrs. Byrd provided just that. My husband and I had agreed to everything – how we wanted our assets separated – and Mrs. Byrd and her staff provided efficient service at the lowest cost. From the first appointment, I felt im...portant as a client; I wasn’t just another file number. My paperwork was prepared as we waited, and the divorce was final before we knew it. Everything was hassle-free. When I called to check the status of my divorce, Mrs. Byrd’s staff quickly and accurately responded with the date my waiting period would expire and the approximate time the final decree would be recorded. This information was accurate. Thank you, Mrs. Byrd, for providing such a valuable service at an excellent and competitive cost.

This attorney was so scatter-brained. She never got the facts of my case right. She would not send me letters the other lawyer would send. I could have settled my case for so cheap if she would have properly told me what was actually going on in my case but she wanted to get more money from me and... lied to me about what was going on. I had to fire her and then was able to settle my case with my wife's attorney with no problem. She is a scam artist and BEWARE!!!
