DON'T TRUST HER

**** PLEASE READ! DONT HIRE HER! **** DONT TRUST HER! *** She should NOT be allowed to practice law! She put me in a worse case than I was when I hired her for my Child Custody case. She is NOT Professional. She would place blame on me for her lack of accountability. She could BARELY REMEMBER any pr...ior details on my case. I paid her $5,000 to retain her " BIGGEST MISTAKE" and she ran through that money, all the while NOT Listening to my concerns & then telling me to stay out HER WAY IN MY CASE! She only cares about TAKING YOUR MONEY! She went to court with a "CHEAT SHEET" when trying to give a reason for HER OBJECTIONS. I literally had to show HER what to reference while IN COURT. **** She withdrew herself from my Child Custody Case before even going to trial. **** It took me hounding her office to set a hearing date & she would blame me usually for not keeping the trust overly funded. ** I ALWAYS KEPT FUNDS IN THE TRUST ** I have paid HER almost $10,000 and she DIDN'T even stay long enough to see it through to my hearing date for the Child Custody Case. *** SHE CLAIMED THAT SHE WITHDREW, INITIALLY FOR LACK OF PAYMENT, THEN I HAD TO PROVIDE PROOF THAT I HAD PAID HER*** SHE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR CASE. Even out of complete desperation, I would ADVISE ANYONE to use Google or Artificial Intelligence, rather than throwing away your money to someone who lacks compassion. She didn't even have the COMMON COURTESY to let me know that she was no longer representing me, I found out because I was checking my case online. Once I asked for explanation, she told me to give her MORE MONEY after she "FOUND MY FUNDS". Thank GOD that she is out of my case so now I have a chance to crawl out of the hole that she kept throwing dirt into. I HOPE THAT THIS WILL HELP EVEN ONE PERSON FROM FALLING VICTIM!

DON’T DO IT!!

I had a consultation with Georgia and after giving her a brief summary of my situation, she said that we could request my husband to pay for my attorneys fees (he had his own attorney). I had very little money and thought this would be great. Six months in, or maybe more, she said that I was suppose...d to pay for my own fees as if we hadn’t discussed this several times before . She also kept forgetting what we would talk about, so on our next call she would ask the same things allover again. She made me go to a mediation for temporary orders that I insisted I did not need, and that cost me over a thousand dollars that I could not afford to spend. Whenever I disagreed with her or asked her a question that she thought was dumb, she would send me these long emails basically mocking me and being extremely rude. She wanted things done her way and would not listen to me. Months after the process had started I was diagnosed with cancer and I met with her to discuss things. She told me… everyone gets “cancer” when they are getting a divorce hahaha. I was so shocked I did not even respond. After careful consideration, I accepted my husband’s offer to come to a mutual agreement using his lawyer, since my cancer treatment was costing me thousands of dollars. Georgia was informed of this and once again sent me a very long email mocking me and telling me that it was a terrible idea and that I would regret it (not a word about my illness, no compassion or sympathy). Well, Georgia… not working with you was actually the best decision I ever made!!! So to any vulnerable lady out there looking to get a divorce, STAY AWAY!

Thank you!

I am so pleased with the compassion shown to me when I was faced with an unjust action taken by a police officer. Attorney Barker was caring, kind and patient with me. She also immediately got to work on my case. As a result of her expertise and conscientious efforts, the result was decided in my fa...vor. I would wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Barker! She is a wonderful person and a knowledgeable and efficient attorney.

Georgia Baker

Georgia Baker is a solid attorney, I am happy to say I am one of her clients. She brings a unique skill set to add to her already extensive expertise. Her knowledge and experience have been invaluable to me and my situation. Professional while concerned and caring have been the way I was treated. She... has walked me step by step through the most difficult time of my life. More than what you would expect from a law firm. I not only highly recommend Georgia, I consider her a lawyer with integrity and a sense of values that I respect. This is the lady you want in your corner, fighting for you. She did it for me.
