I paid this so called attorney $100.00 for what ended up being the worst experience with someone who is suppose to be on your side . This is what happened that day...November 25, 2013...My fifteen year old son and I arrived at Pamela A Walker's Law Office located in Granbury, Texas in hopes that she ...would help in a matter which concerned another county worker in which he had suddenly and abruptly thrown me and my son out of his office because I was trying to get him to explain "Teen Court" which my son had agreed to participate in as his punishment for smoking a cigar on school ground's with two others on the last day of school 2013, but only after being subtly coerced by several county officials days previously in a make shift county court. Upon arriving at Mrs. Walker's office, I came to observe her husband was her secretary. While sitting waiting for our appointment I over heard Mrs. Walker talking to a Judge from the county and worried that he may not like what she was wearing when she was to appear in court in front of him that evening. She seemed to be trying her best to appease the Judge. Soon Mrs. Walker came from behind the wall dividing us and ushered my son and I into her office. Immediately Mrs. Walker attempted to focus all her attention on my son and convince him to "do", as she put it, "Teen Court". When I tried to explain why I hired her she abruptly told me I was being "confrontational". Her eyes immediately went back to my son as she was trying her best to win his confidence by flattering him and telling him he looks like a good boy. Everything was about "looks" to this less than physically appealing homely late fifties possibly, woman. Every time I would try to say something she looked very sternly at me and again repeated that I was being "confrontational" . She even threatened to put me out of the room, which she finally accomplished after making my son start to cry, but assumed he was crying because of possible "abuse" at home?? At one point she asked my son if he was on medication, because of the way his eyes looked. My son and I immediately told her he had allergies and was recently diagnosed as being allergic to practically everything. Mrs. Walker informed my son that he would need to bring proof of his allergies to "Teen Court" so others wouldn't think he was on drugs and in order to prove his innocence to the court. What Mrs. Walker said right then and there was what I had suspected "Teen Court" was about all along. Teen Court is only to make matters worse for all those young innocent unsuspecting children that are slyly mislead when appearing before the county Justices in this town. As far as the man, (a former Sargent with the Granbury Police Dept, and whom misrepresented himself when he introduced himself to me and my son as "Investigator", days previously) in charge of signing unsuspecting children up for "Teen Court"...I realized he was the one who first labeled me "confrontational" because he had to come up with an excuse why he suddenly threw me and my son out of his office when we went to sign up and after I tried to prob him for answers about "Teen Court". I came to see that this attorney was working in cahoots with the former investigator/Sargent and officials, all in an attempt to entrap my son in "Teen Court" if was possible. Because obviously according to Mrs. Pamela Walker, the prosecuting teens can ask any questions they want about you, your friends, your family, your aunts, uncles step-dads, etc., about smoking, drugs, stealing...whatever they want. No wonder they were so excited to get my son and other unsuspecting young adults into their little county "Teen Court". According to an Ex Sheriff I dated ...the criminals are the ones running the county! He admitted he was mentally ill and that most cops are sick in the head! Well, to not make a long story short, My son changed his plea and is paying the $214.00 fine instead. Some advice...Stay clear of Hood County, Texas!

I tried all possible ways (after years of experience), but was unable to reach this woman. I could not make her see that participating in Teen Court kept the situation off her son's record. Bottom line? She didn't understand the legal system, well-or WANT to understand it. She honestly did not like the legal answers she received from me & unfortunately, blamed me for the existing laws that prohibited her from getting what she wanted for her son... And if she had called afterwards, I would have returned her $100 for the time we spent together, which was well over an hour.
