Terrible experience

I hired this attorney to handle two cases that I had at the same time. She gave me a timeline at our initial meeting as to when things would happen and it would be done. Because I trusted in the timeline I went ahead and hired her. After that because she was running for office and didn't have time to... handle my case she gave my case to a junior attorney. This junior attorney Zabilla Wolf yelled at me or just asking if she had gotten things filed two weeks after she said that she was going to file them. She laughed at me whenever I mentioned the timeline that Victoria Lee I promised. Betty didn't really do anything for me and I have to fire them. And immediately Victoria Lee filed a motion with the court to keep my retainer which she had not earned yet. I would not recommend anybody hiring her.

We were the fourth attorney on your file & you did not pay as agreed. We did exactly what we agreed to do & what the contract confirms we were going to do. This review comes three years after our representation ended because - even with attorneys after us - your case did not end the way you wanted it to end.

Beyond Poor

This was an initial consult in which I fired her due to her lack of her "professionalism" You want throw away money, time and interest in a lawyer, she is the neophyte for you. I was shocked at her lack of knowledge and "Hell" bent on selling a "Model" she had already explained which had nothing to d...o with my case. I had an expert witness at the meeting which observed the encounter. She refused to look at his evidence of photographs, time and date stamped. which would have easily cleared the way but she was too busy trying to "sell" and make a profit for her firm. One must listen to learn what the client is expressing or desiring. Initializing such a common exchange was "snubbed " due to her lack of experience. I have had many attorney's over the years and the "eye rolling" interrupting condescension was not only proof she is inept but a detriment to your firm. Already several clients that had been suggested to use her have moved forward to another firm that I have had an open listening ear --all in one day--Based upon our request from Estate Planing onward that are willing wiling to work with all of us in different capacities. If this was my employee, I would want to know about the behavior, incapacitates of the person that could weaken your "business model growth". No way in the world would I ever waste my time on her. Listen first and learn. That is where relationships are built. Sincerely , Cindy

Cindy, I talked to you for over 45 minutes for free and told you not to waste money on hiring us or any lawyer because you wouldn't be happy with the results. You were rude and condescending that you had researched the issues and determined you had a great case. Certainly the cost of your attorney's fees would outweigh your recovery. You left in a huff. The “sell” was me trying to explain our communication, commitment to practical legal advice & that not every issue in life has a viable legal remedy. The "expert" you brought with you agreed with my analysis!

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! If you want someone to lie to you, bait and switch your case, work with opposing counsel against you behind your back, never file related documents/motions, etc. or advise in your best interest then run! This firm lies and cheats their ow...n clients. ZERO STARS WAS NOT AN OPTION.

We are the exact opposite - brutally honest and never lie to our clients, even when the news is bad. I can't believe any real client would say such a thing about us! It's convenient this is an anonymous review - maybe a potential client or opposing party masquerading as a real client. We have no actual clients making these complaints about us at the time this review was posted (or ever!) I have no idea who you are or what case you're referencing.

Rude, unprofessional, no legal knowledge

I don't really feel like taking the time to go into details. As can be seen through most reviews she tries to make excuses for her wrongdoings. She is very rude, very unprofessional, and although she is board certified, she doesn't seem to know anything about the actual law. Would not waste my time o...r money on her. All she is after is your money, she doesn't care about your case or to help you in anyway, and will not make any effort in doing so. In all honesty, her poor portrayal of an actual professional attorney is almost laughable if she werent actually hurting people and taking their money.

You are a potential client who wanted detailed, specific legal advice in a free initial phone consultation. I politely declined to research and determine the answers since you did not have funds to hire us, even with our no interest payment plans. I'm sorry for your circumstances but we cannot work without payment.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Tori is one of the most knowledgable lawyers I know in the area of protecting clients from unlawful debt collection, which is not an area of practice that I handle very often. When I have a question in this area, I always call her, because she can always answer my questions or point me in the right direction. She runs a busy practice in North Little Rock, but she always makes herself available to those in need, and especially clients. If you're in need of help, especially in Pulaski County courts, let Tori roar to your rescue."
