Good Attorney - needed more experiences staff

Deanna is a very good attorney and was able to turn the tables quickly for my daughter in a child custody dispute. I will admit I had some issues with her staff as I thought their attention to detail was not good. She is expensive and you have to set your expectations up front or you could end up s...pending more than needed. I feel she has a bit of a ego and when challenged on equal ground she can be defensive. Overall, a very good lawyer.

All talk, no follow through

Upon my first phone call with Cait I felt really positive. After meeting with Dallas, I still felt somewhat positive but as time went by and them not doing much my retainer ran out really fast. Charges for texting 2 words, days to get responses returned. Did not follow through with plan, made me f...eel not much hope with what I was asking, even though in consultation they gave hope. I did all my own research ect but somehow the costs kept accruing for a pretty simple case. It seems they wanted to help my daughters father out more than fight for me. Mrs. Whitley took over at the last moment and didnt even get everything straight in court. She was not prepared. I would not recommend

Ineffective counsel

Ms. Whitley talks a good game at the initial consultation. She promised a quick resolution but unfortunately that was not the case. I cannot put into words the pain and suffering my children and I endured while my case was needlessly dragged out. Communication is very poor at best and when I finally ...did speak with her, she was rude and condescending. I had to make repeated calls and send multiple emails over long periods of time to get a response. I eventually fired her for proving to be ineffective counsel for me. I do not recommend this attorney. A complete waste of money and time.

Worst Divorce Lawyer

I hired this lawyer to represent me. We created a game plan, but then it was never followed. The very basis of a lawyer is to fight a legal battle on their client's behalf and I did not get that. I was sent to the wrong location for a mediation session, then my lawyer was late and it was not even... her it was her associate lawyer. From my point of view she was only reactive and showed no real proactive measures in my case. It as a divorce with Custody battle. I do not feel that she represented by best interest. The opposing counsel kept scheduling hearings and I would not find out until the day before at like 5:30 or 6 at night; then I was told not to come to most of them or I sat outside while it happened. In the end, we had a hearing that was scheduled by opposing attorney, and I again did not find out until late the day before. I had another important engagement with work the following day when the hearing was scheduled, so my attorney told me they would postpone. About 11 am that day I received and email stating my divorce was final and it was not favorable for me. I did not care about money or stuff, I only wanted equal time with my children and equal responsibility for my children.
