Horrible Attorney

Joanna was attorney who never followed up 98 percent of time by calling me back or in timely matter. Could hardly ever sit down with her had appt twice cancel . Lost all my information first visit. She kep a affidavit and a spouse relief tax form that was filled out and supposed to be given to my ex ...to be's lawyer and never did she sat on it for over three months Until I fired her. She has never gave me a bill or a statement of services for the whole eight months Honestly never kept records of time she spent as I had her as an attorney If she did I would reveive a stmt and a refund. When I fired her she told me she would give it to me in two weeks and never did and had to report her to the bar association. She communicated My case with outside people which she has no bussiness to or without my permission. She was not truthful. The way she talk to me was horrible . She change court houses without my permission my feeling to make more money. She didnt care what I felt or what I had to say, All i have to say she did hardly nothing for my case but made things worse.

a divorce client

If you need and want a top of the line attorney, Joanna Challacombe is your only choice. I have worked with and observed hundreds of attorneys. When I needed a divorce lawyer, I chose Joanna because I saw her in action. Joanna is always prepared for court, and studies case law like no one else. Joan...na will fight, and win, for you. Every time we went to court, Joanna was there and always prepared. Joanna is confident , serious, and has a no-nonsense approach to any case she is involved in. If you need a very tough attorney who is afraid of no one , a pit-bull in court because the other side tries to intimidate you, you better have Joanna in your corner-she is the best in the business. Joanna also works in Civil court and is excellant. I have recommended only one attorney to friends , relatives and aquaintences -Joanna Challacombe.
