Lydia Dews

Lydia took this case and talked a good game about this case being frivoulous, without merrit. When I expressed my concern about my ex she replied "you will not be scared again." During the case I received an offer to settle. I declined as, based on Lydia, I felt I had a superior position. Not an ...hour latter while the judge extends the csae, Lydia informs the court that she was going on sabitial in a month and would not be available. This was the first I heard of this. This clearly would have changed my opion concerning the proposed settlement. This borders on malpractice. Further, I never received billings from her to determine the status on my retainor. Also, she failed to stay in contact with me / address my concerns in the weeks leading up to the court date. Now I must find another attorney and start from scratch. I guess my only recource is to report her to the Bar.

I feel like this woman basically took my money and did NOT provide the service I paid her for. She wouldn't call me back for weeks at a time, and she did not give me the outcome I needed. She messed up SEVERAL important, life changing documents!!! DON'T use this lawyer!!!!! If I can SAVE one person... from going through what I went through, then my experience was NOT in vain.
