Margarette Lafaye Meeks

Hired her but she continued to delay my case...long after the law required. I constantly had to call her...I mean constantly to get an update on my case. I got so fed up, I tried requesting she move my case to another available attorney in her office. However, that was to no avail. Had I known my mat...ter would have been held up so long, I would have not given my business to this attorney. I am sorry, but I initially went with this attorney because I desired to support another African American business. However, I should have chosen my counsel based on competency, efficiency, and timeliness. This experience has been terribly frustrating. Time I gave up that I wish I could get back.

-appeared to lack knowledge on family court -more interested in writing names down than actually listening to the situation so I can determine if she is qualified to help. - The woman called me and I explained I was searching for an attorney with experience in family law for my husband and she wa...s more concerned about why he wasn't calling opposed to listening to the case to determine if I would hire her. I'm the one paying you, you would have talked to him if WE decided to hire you, but why is that the primary focus during my "consultation"? - attorney made it seem like I had to hire her before she could tell me why I should... - I'm not banking on anyone, there tons of lawyers I could reach out to, so what about you stands out so much that I should hire you and not lawyers in the office next to you? This is important because we are talking about thousands of dollars that I'm sure you will charge and I refuse to let that go down the drain. - again our conversation was very brief as she kept cutting me off to ask me why my husband wasn't calling or what are the names of the involved parties. - it was a very poor consultation and I wish she hasn't called Because she was no help at all. - this is an honest review , I don't know how she is in the court room but based on that consultation she is not going to bark in court... I need someone who is ready, eager and willing and most of all someone who knows how to listen!
