Jolyn Colburn Wilkins

I hired Jolyn to help with a child custody case. The opposing party emailed and called her upwards of 23 times in one day. I was billed for this. She does not respond in a timely manner. As others have said, she gives little to know response, charges for reading emails, and sends the bill. I am ...very disappointed with the outcome of what should have been an open and shut case. I feel that she intentionally drug out the case with little regard to the safety and wellbeing of my child, in order to have more billing hours. I now have another lawyer to finish what should have been done almost two years ago.

This lawyer has a live and let live outlook. This is fine in one's personal life, but NOT what you want from a lawyer (especially when YOU have to live with the consequences of the lawyer's laziness). She does not follow up, does not return calls. I needed an order of protection filed after my chi...ld's father was unhappy with the mediation process and assaulted me. I gathered the documents the officer on my case provided, and called her for another appointment. No one called back. I mean EVER. I called no less than 4 times in one month. I emailed her during this same time, with no response until 1.5 months later with the response 'you can try to file for a protective order if you want to.' That's it. After being retained for almost a year, wasting thousands of dollars....nothing (I mean nothing) got done. I ended up taking out a loan and paying one of her competitors. This new attorney had the order filed in 2 days and was put into place by the judge. ms. Wilkins is a disgrace to the profession and should practice law that does not deal with people, as she has absolutely no empathy for her clients. After you pay your retainer you will never hear from her again, unless it's in the form of a bill for reading your emails.
