She Makes Miracles Baby...

I had an extremely complicated custody case. When other attorneys tell me I had no hope, Allecia Lindsey-Pottinger said I did have a chance to correct the wrong done to myself and my child. A year and a half before hiring Mrs. Pottinger, I went through a modification of custody in which my prior atto...rney MADE THINGS WORSE. I went from having full custody to . My child was paying the price for sloppy work done. I had to find a way to get my child out of an abusive situation. Before Allecia took on the case, CPS was called and CPS told me I had to get an attorney if I wanted change. Even though I had multiple videos and recordings of my child suffering. When I found Mrs. Pottinger I was truly at my wits end. All the attorneys I spoke to before said I did not have a chance, but Allecia said there was a way to make things right. She took the time to walk me though the entire process from start to finish. Allecia was a gentle spirt who helped me stay focused while the other party used scare tactics on me before we got to court. Mrs. Pottinger also gave me sound legal advice on how to best navigate the parts of my case I was unsure about. She was also very timely in her responses in which I truly appreciated. When it came down to the trial, Allecia turned up the heat and went against a nasty bully in the court room. Not only did she win against a fellow attorney, she won against an attorney who taught law! HOW AMAZING! In my eyes, Allecia is a walking Angel on this Earth. I will forever hold a special place in my heart for her. Thank you for giving me the child I have worked so hard to take care of since the day he was born. Thank you for the long nights. Thank you for having your A game all the time for me, I truly appreciate you. You are truly a miracle worker. I will never have enough thank you's to fulfill the gratitude I have in my heart towards you...

Divorce

Mrs. Pottinger is a very honest attorney. My case in TX had been passed through several different courts for action. I tried several times to petition the courts to honor their code and remain steadfast to their laws as it pertained to custody of my children. Each time the court(s) would always pass ...the case the following month. Eventually they would claim that they no longer had jurisdiction as my ex-spouse moved several times, but they would not hold her in contempt. Mrs. Pottinger's savviness and clear understanding of the law allowed me to conserve both time and money. She didn't promise me anything nor did she lead me to believe the courts would rule in favor of truth. Each time they erred, she would position me to change direction by exercising patience and facts to enable me with the necessary legal leverage to get some action taken. Previously to Mrs. Pottinger I had several attorneys, who simply took my money. They didn't attempt to try and fight my case. The only time I heard from them was when my retainer was depleted, and if I came behind, which steps were needed to take immediate action to bring my account current. Hear this well: If you want help from someone who believes in the power of Prayer and Faith and who will help you prevail, I would implore you to seek her services.

My Review

I have use her for several cases in the past as well as call to on her for infomation adout something that I did not have a clear understanding on. We had a case about harassment and she took the case and my husband and I felt very sure that she would do all she could about the alaged complaint. She... kept in contact with us to let us know what we need to do and what was going on so that we would not worry. She made us feel that we was her only clients which we knew that we were not . she inform us of different ways the case could be resolve and she made us feel that she would all she could do to help us. She was on time to each hearing and came perpared to win. keeping us informed on the case help us to be better focus on we need to do. Mrs Pottinger have help us on a number of issues and have talk us through some things that we did not have legal knowledeable on. I feel that she can truly be as asset to anyone who take her on as a attorney. I would truly call on her i feel that she will give you her best work at all times.overall she is one of the best!

I believe that I had several cases where she was the hearing examiner on administrative termination cases, but they were resolved without hearing. She was competent and cordial in my dealings with her. I endorse her as an attorney in the field of employment/labor law."

"I have known Allecia since 2007. Since then, we have worked together on multiple family law cases and Allecia has always proven herself to be a very capable attorney. Her nuanced knowledge of the Texas Family Code and her ability to recite Texas Rules of Civil Procedure off the top of her head are uncanny. She is also a very caring attorney and this also shows in her work. I can recommend Allecia to anyone who is looking for a clear advantage in legal matters."
