Not recommend

Based on reviews and extensive research we hired her for a custody case. We ended up spending over $25,000 on fees. There were numerous typos and errors on paperwork and decrees typed out. We would in return get charged because they had to make corrections. Retainer fees were being used for erro...rs on their part. Our calls were not returned but we were charged for each one we made to the office. Her staff never had answers for our questions and would not take messages down. Mrs. Thompson's response was she didnt get a message that we called. She started out great when hired then somewhat put us in the back burner. She was unprofessional, disrespectful and rude and thats when we decided it was best to hire another attorney. She may be overwhemed with too many cases and loses focus. Its more about making the money than best interest for her client.

My Experience

I hired Ms. Thompson to help me with a divorce. I was impressed after the free initial consultation and paid the $5K retainer. After I paid the retainer things changed. She was not responsive and it took her 4-5 days on average to answer questions and return phone calls. Additionally, when I calle...d her office, she was never there. I ended up paying $10K for temporary orders and had to hire another lawyer.

Divorce, Child Custody and Support

Pamela displays a wealth of knowledge when dealing with child custody, child support, and divorce cases. She was an incredible help to me while I was deployed overseas, always relaying information and updating me on the status of my case. She really does care about the military community.

Pamela handled my matter quickly and efficiently. My relinquishment of parental rights was fully taken care of in less than a week.
