Not helpful- too expensive for services received

I do not believe Demaris cared enough about my case, and I should have gotten another attorney but could not afford one. After going back to court again and paying more fees I would have been better off going alone. Lack of preparation and helpful advice have put me in a bad spot. Every dime I had we...nt to her, and I received nothing in return, except another bill.

Did not keep me informed about my case told me we were farther along than represented. I had to hire another lawyer who informed me I was overcharged. Too much money and time later I wish I had never been referred .

Didn't fill out paper work that she charged for, and that was just the start.

She didn't fill out paper work that she charged for. Ignored evidence and credible witness that would have helped the case. We ended up having to go get a different lawyer who informed us that we were over charged. Please stay away from this woman.

I am unaware of any case I have handled in which I or my staff did not fill out paperwork as required, and I do not recall ever ignoring evidence or credible witnesses. If you never made these complaints directly to us, please do, so we can better serve our clients in the future. I apologize for any shortcomings in your service from us, as my goal is to help all of my clients through a difficult time.

Demaris Hart- An Angel who saved my family!

Demaris Hart is an awesome lawyer. She treated me as if the kids and I were her family. She went above and beyond to make sure my kids and I were given the opportunity to start over and begin making good memories. Divorce is hard, but with the help of Demaris Hart, the kids and I felt safe and kne...w she was protecting us. I owe her my life. Without her, the kids and I would have been lost. Thanks to Mrs. Hart, the kids and I were given the opportunity to have a fresh start, free from an abusive spouse and father, and have a future to be happy about. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who needs help to start over, and make a better life for yourself and your children. I will be forever grateful. I was lost and a basket case, but she took me under her wing, and saved us.

Expertise with Compassion

I hired Ms. Hart to handle an unwanted divorce in 2012. She handled my case with great legal expertise and true compassion for my situation. She always told me exactly how things would be, and never sugar coated information. She told me things I needed to hear with integrity, genuine kindness, and... respect. She made sure I always knew exactly what my options were, and helped me weigh the benefits and consequences of those options. I was impressed with her efficiency at handling matters, and the efficiency of the office staff. I always felt that Demaris tried to keep my legal fees to a minimum. She was a bright spot in a very negative situation.
