Posted by anonymous | August 23, 2025 | Hired Attorney

It's very clear after hiring Mr. Woodard he is not the honest man he says he is. It became clear very quickly. Live and learn.

Mr. Woodard claims to be a man of faith, integrity,and honesty. We didn't see that from him after he received thousands of dollars and we hired him. Quite the opposite sadly. He knows what he did was wrong. I'm posting in hopes of saving others from making the same mistake by hiring Mr. Woodard.

The people that were taken by this man was wronged

The people that were taken by this attorney were wronged for the ones of you that say the people should have known by the payment that they paid I am truly sorry that I couldn't pay him more. I'm sorry I'm not rich like you guys I can only pay what I can afford I didn't think he'd do this to me and m...y fiance and my five children wow you guys hit an all time low.

I would not recommed him

His practice was suspended as of May 4th, 2021 for only 180 days. He should have it revoked as you can read from the complaints!!!

Totally useless/ money grubber

We hired him over a custody issue for our grandson. He assured us that $1200 would easily take care of the total cost. That was in May. The only thing we got from him was asking for more money because he said it was more complicated than he thought. By August we were in to him for $3600 for a useles...s piece of paper that wouldn't stand up in court. We haven't heard from him since. We even had another lawyer send him an inquiry and they never got a response either. In our opinion he is dishonest.

Divorce filled with contempt of court and lawyer ups and quits

I hired carl this year like 2019 Feb paid for a simple divorce no kids minimal property, he said it would be simple. After paying in full .carl avoided my calls text,until i would call from different number..i never would get notify of court dates.i would request information .and wouldn't recive,the...n I had a contempt of court and was fined 600, cuz carl never contacted me.nor did he show for court then next court date I got another contempt ,and another 600 fine,with a bench warrent, this was over the interagotoiers..carl lied to judge stating he never recieved them on time.and he said I needed not to go to that court date so I didnt even know he was blaming me.. but I have proof they was sen 3 different month and was sent 3 different ways. Then after he gets me 2 fines warrent and does nothing on my behalf, he quits stating to judge it was me who just was un reachable..and never notified me until a day before another said court date... so after all this I asked carl to fix this,he said he would give me 400 of my 900 back , well it's been over a month and I've asked and sent multi messages. And still no money..thank goodness I hired another great lawyer very informative brian hoffman..but I wouldn't ever hire carl... so 900 I paid him and the two fines of 1200 and supposed to do 30 days in jail .I'm out 2100 and gotta sit in jail,and my divorce is still not done .
