Tyesha Yvette Elam

I was referred to Tyesha from a known associate. In the beginning Tyesha, to what I believed, was going to bat for me on a child custody case. I spent upwards of $3000.00 over the course of 3 years with her. Some days there would be progress, but for the most part I understood it would be hard to get... full custody in the state of texas. Our last meeting, I got the attorney general to finally get my childs mother into court...this is after spending hundreds of dollars get Tyesha's 'person' to track and serve my sons mother. We found ourselves in Fort Bend County court talking child support?? All the while, I am trying and paying to get papers served to the mother to go to court for the custody and equal rights to my child...at this point my son's mother was refusing to let me see or interact with my child...I am being required to pay additional child support. My child support went up and even though I am working a job that pays less money as to when I first went on child support...HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?? I paid my lawyer fees of that day which totaled close to 500.00(90% of my income tht month) and went on my merry way thinking...since I'm paying more child support then maybe I will get to see my son. That didn't happen atleast for 1 month. I had my father follow the mother from the court from to the residence, but got lost. But he did retain the license of the car she was driving. Of course Tyesha had no clue how to track down a residence based off of that...so I had a friend do it. Low and behold...address and vehicles found!! On july 4, 2013 my son's mother decides its better if my son lives with me so that she doesn't have to deal with my anymore....I obliged!! The only issue now is that I still have child support coming out of my checks and the child lives with me!! I have attempted to contact Tyesha every way I knew possible...phone, text, email, facebook, even my associate that hooked us up, even stopped by her office and had her secretary leave her a message. and to this day I still have not received a call back. It has been completely unprofessional!! Instead of paying a lawyer to start over from scratch, I'd like to have the person fighting for me that I have paid my hard earned money. I have reported her to the bar...I have a feeling she is doing this as a hobby and doesn't really care what happens to her clients Tyesha Elam. if you want to finish what you started and what I HAVE BEEN PAYING YOU FOR, you know how to get in contact with me...all my numbers are the same bar # - 24026819

I only put a one(1) because I could not put zero. This lady has no business being an attorney and needs to go back to school or give it up. I just spent nearly $2000 for a simple contempt of court on my ex-wife. She does not answer your calls or keep you informed once she gets your money. She did not... put what I asked her to put into the petition and was not knowledgeable when in court. It seemed like she was being educated at my expense. I was also asking for jail time for my wife and told her that I would only pay if that was sought. She told the judge she didn't think it was a good idea after getting chummy with my ex before court. I am reporting her to the State Bar and am considering suing her in civil court for her non-performance. She should not be practicing law.
