Great experience!

Attorney McPheeters drafted my documents for estate planning. I am very pleased with the service I received. She is very professional, efficient, friendly and addressed my questions and concerns in a timely fashion. I would definitely recommend her.

Refused to communicate with me

I had a consultation with Ms. McPheeters at the end of December 2024. I sent documents a few days later. She responded in an email that she would contact me the following week. I called the office and left voice mail several times between then and end of February. (No one ever answers - I had to list...en to an extended automated message and press "5" to leave a message for her ASSISTANT - not her). No one returned my calls. No one ever emailed me again. Today I left another message. Her assistant said she was "no longer interested in taking my case," apparently because I had called Met Life Legal Plan in the interim and asked if I could consult another attorney. Immature and unprofessional.

Poor quality work and work conduct

Poor follow-up. First time: she disappeared when it was time to respond to a dispute and I then had to follow-up on my own and thankfully won the dispute without this attorneys follow-through. Second time: sent a letter to the company I had a dispute with that was filled with errors and ambiguities a...nd the company took me court. The letter she sent failed to include a detailed audit trail of details provided in a spreadsheet, but she attempted to provide a summary, which was inaccurate. When I addressed the above two concerns with her that I needed her attention since we were now going to court, she ended the relationship 3 weeks before the court date and said I needed to get another attorney.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
