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.

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!!!

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 .

Unethical attorney

My husband and myself hired this attorney 6 months ago regarding a property issue , the township wants to settle with us but Mr Woodard is no where to be found, after paying him 2,000.00 and going to court for us once he has disappeared, to bad he has to lie and take people's money to make a living,... I will be filing a complaint against him, he should not be allowed to practice law, I don't want this to happen to someone else. Disgusted in Michigan
