A good ole boy without a spine

He is brilliant, intelligent a great person, sure had fun preparing the case with him as we got closer to the final hearing on a divorce. But when it got down to it as if we got a flat tire and the transmission went out. Some folks tried to warn me. Obviously I did not listen and I am paying dearly. ... First off, he gave me bad advice on a false protection order that was based on lies & outright false accusations and it resulted an unfair ruling. I compiled evidence of the plaintiff being a manipulator, perjurer, child abuser and slanderer of compelling evidence of my innocence and sent it to his office for submission. None of it was submitted, nor did he object to the courts proceedings. He actually let a junior (novice) attorney in family law (Debra) from the Reese Law Firm run over us (the defense). Its not understandable or comprehensible of how an attorney could be this ineffective or sleep at night with a conscious. I have not spoken to my child in almost 5 years due to his ineptness and his lack of skill to face a fight. He basically cowarded down in circuit court Maybe the courts fixed or still set in the stone age in Arkansas and he knows that a man does not have a chance in ARKANSAS and lawyers are just there to take your money, either way.
