Failure to represent

I hired Marlene as my attorney during my divorce. I filed for my divorce due to extreme violence and abuse towards myself and my children from my ex-husband. My children were 4 & 6 at the time. My ex-husband was advised that the only way he could win a custody battle was to request a jury trial. ...Unfortunately, Marlene failed to represent me and the best interest of my children, although I had paid her over $250K. My children are now living in a very hostile and emotionally abusive environment due to her lack of professionalism. As some of the reviews state 'She is friends with everyone in the Fort Bend Judicial System and will never go against her friends'. This is a complete and accurate statement. It is disappointing, more than heartbreaking and down right appalling that someone in her position would not take the time to appropriately prepare for a situation such as mine. I highly recommend anyone looking for a divorce attorney to do a little more research than I did before considering hiring her to represent you. I am now faced with hiring another attorney to modify the custody agreement that she was so willing to agree to. Please take my advice... keep looking, I am sure there are plenty of other attorneys out there that take their job a little more seriously.
