Ginger Ann Shockley Weatherspoon

Our first interaction with Ms. Weatherspoon was after months of researching and interviewing over 15 different family law attorneys. She came to us via a reference by a well respected individual. My initial meeting was spent over 1 1/2 hours speaking with Ms. Weatherspoon regarding our case which a...t this point had already hit the news channels during a very turbulent time for an organization which had received much negative publicity regarding the lack of their job performance. Our case was not going to be an open and shut case. In fact, we had several attorneys tell us they could not help us because it would be a losing fight and one in which they did not want to go up against this particular organization. Ms. Weatherspoon did not make any false promises about our case but instead said she would review everything and would give us an honest answer if she could help. After a few days we received word back from Ms. Weatherspoon that she would like to help our family. At no time was finances the main focus of Ms. Weatherspoon. She graciously worked with us in terms of being able to pay our retainer fee and that was only billed once our case was well under way. One of the things we admired most about her is her complete honesty. When it came time to discuss our options Ms. Weatherspoon explained in great detail what we were looking at. While I am college educated, all those legal terms seemed like a foreign language to me so I was constantly asking for clarification. Ms. Weatherspoon never made me feel inferior or like an inconvenience. During our case Ms. Weatherspoon opened my eyes as to the depth of work that goes into a case such as ours. Not ONE SINGLE time was Ms. Weatherspoon not available to me to answer a question or update us as to the status of our case!! Did she personally answer the phone every single time I called? No! Nor did I think she would. She was working and I was not her only client. Whomever assumes she is to answer every time and call back within minutes is so living in an unrealistic world. The amount of dedication she and her staff had to our case literally left me feeling as if I was her only priority. They were so amazing with their work!! Our case ended up taking a different route than we had initially planned and that was due in NO part to Ms. Weatherspoon!! In fact, Ms. Weatherspoon once again outlined three options for us and promised us that whichever we would choose she would stand 100% behind. My husband and I ended up making the very difficult decision to close our case and instead of Ms. Weatherspoon shooting off a bill for her services she offered her complete understanding and support. She could have easily told us to we needed to do xyz therefore ensuring payment by us for what was guaranteed to be a very lengthly and costly battle but instead was truthful. My husband and I will and already have offered Ms. Weatherspoon's name to others based upon her knowledge, work ethic, and dedication to her clients. Ms. Weatherspoon is very real and focused on her clients rather than what image she portrays to the public. That alone is a priceless characteristic not many in the legal profession can claim. We feel that we received professional services from Ms. Weatherspoon with a extremely caring attitude. While reading the negative reviews left by some of the supposable clients of Ms. Weatherspoon's law firm, I am not all convinced these individuals are real and if they are they certainly are not disclosing the full details of their interaction with Ms. Weatherspoon and her staff. The consistency and thoroughness of the staff speaks volumes. If you are in need of legal services we would absolutely recommend you retain the services of Ms. Weatherspoon and her staff. We would also encourage you to take time to meet with Ms. Weatherspoon and her staff in order to discern if your case would best be served by retaining her legal services.
