Audrey F. Moorehead

I've been waiting a long time to decide if I wanted to post this review. I'm not a mean-spirited person and when I have a conflict, professional or otherwise, with someone, I tend to want to just put it behind me. But as I've seen friends and family members in the Dallas area work their way through t...he pain of a divorce, I've decided that I should probably go ahead and bite the bullet. I was extremely happy with Audrey's responsiveness when I came in to see her for my consultation. She seemed to understand exactly what I was going through with my very abusive husband. I paid her the full amount of her retainer. The first thing she did was make a recommendation that I felt was unethical. I decided not to do it, because I was certain my ex-husband's attorney would see right through it since it is a common, if somewhat underhanded, tactic. I don't know if that refusal was why she decided to stop answering my emails and phone calls, but from that point on, I spent more than a full year trying to get her to do what she said she was going to do. I made appointments with her that she didn't attend. I sent hundreds of emails over two years, and she only responded to about 5% of them. She filed motions that she didn't tell me she was going to file, and that I didn't get a chance to review prior to filing. She ignored attempts from my ex-husband's lawyer to contact her and move things along. When I tried to talk to her about how disappointed I was in her lack of responsiveness, she scolded me for sending her so many communications. Most importantly, I recently learned that she did not file the actual divorce paperwork when she said she did, and my ex-husband ended up filing first. She did not adequately stand up for me in court during the initial hearing, and seemed unwilling to schedule any further hearings. She did not deliver paperwork to me that I had a right to see. Working with Audrey brought me an incredible amount of anxiety and grief. Eventually I fired her and hired another attorney. When my new attorney attempted to contact her to get all of the paperwork, she did not receive a response from Audrey's office. After hiring a new attorney, it took only 5 months to finalize a divorce that had, at that point, taken almost two years to work through. Audrey is clearly a very intelligent and knowledgeable lawyer. She came highly recommended from another lawyer I know who held her in very high esteem. In the rare instances when I felt like Audrey was working for me and attending to me as a client, I felt well taken care of. However, on the whole, my experience with Audrey was such that I cannot help but urge anyone going through a difficult divorce process to choose another attorney.

We hired Ms Moorehead in October 2014 to handle some legal matters that needed to go through probate court. After we paid her,IN FULL, we waited to hear back from her. After a while we began to call and leave messages, of which we got no response. It's now March 2015 and we still haven't gotten anyth...ing filed with the probate courts. I went myself yesterday just to check. We've only spoken to her once and she gave all these excuses why she hadn't performed the services she was paid to do. We are still at square one and out of 2,000.00. All we wanted to do was keep our deceased mothers house for our children to inherit. Was that too much to ask? Now the house is in foreclosure. If you must hire her, please do so with caution. God bless.

I would highly recommend Ms. Audrey Moorehead to any person who needs a lawyer for family litagation. Ms. Moorehead was referred to our family by another family member who is also an attorney. She handled a seemngly dificult case with excellent professionalism. She was always professional, polite,... and extremely kind. She was readily available to answer any and all questions that came about during the case. The custoday case she was hired to handle turned extremely nasty, however, Ms. Moorehead kept in constant communication with my family to keep us abreast of all the court proceedings. I believe her experitse, knowledge, and communication skills are the tools that helped my family win the custody case.
