Dorothy Johnson Pounders

Dorothy Pounders is, on paper, as accomplished a family lawyer as there is in the state of Tennessee. Her many accomplishments led me to retain her in a very time sensitive child abandonment case. The initial consultation was great and I paid her sizable retainer in full. Then my nightmare began.... Mrs. Pounders told me to expect a draft within a week. Three weeks and no draft or other communication later, I decided to call and inquire about the delay. I was told to expect the draft in a week. 10 days later, I called wondering why I hadn't received a two page draft in nearly 5 weeks and a $5,000 retainer. I was told that if I was uncomfortable with her service that I could find another attorney. Her firm would not return another phone call or email and held my retainer for 4 nearly months only to deduct $500 from it. Mrs. Pounders is just a despicable human. Callous, arrogant, petty, and only concerned about taking your money. She is brilliant. But a horrible person.
