Posted by A valencia | May 17, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Would not hire

At first the law firm was great was getting a lot of help from both mrs. Garcia and her assistant to settle a child custody case. Things got a little complicated and i had a court on a r hearing on a Thursday it got cancelled cause she was "sick". I owed her money and was trying to pay as much as i c...ould as soon as i could. I had paid her 600 in one week. Called the following monday after my court was cancelled to pay her another 700 dollars. Not even 2 minutes after paying i received a withdrawal letter from her assistant. I call and ask why and she gave the excuse that she is sick and is cutting her case load in half. I had sold everything i could to pay her gave her my whole pay check and she was the most unprofessional unethical person a long with her assistant. If i would of known she was going to drop me the way she did i would of paid smaller amounts and saved my money for another lawyer. To this say i have not gotten my file from her after several attempts. I would never recommend her she may be good in the court room but has no ethic.

Amazing representation

I hired Lyda about 8 months ago for my divorce and custody battle. Ever since day one Lyda and Gina have been attentive to my every need even in days of desparation they took the time to talk to me either over the phone or via email. I always received a response in a quick and timely matter. Lyda rep...resented me in court like no other attorney, she was well prepared had all the right questions and answers, and with time I was appointed 50/50 split joint custody of my daughter with no primary custodian. As a single father at the time I couldn't have asked for better representation. I will be highly recommending Lyda to my friends and family.

move on

I would not hire this lawyer. She cancelled 3 court dates and never gave me a reason. She took money from me when she didn't even represent me. And to top it off after all these cancellations and not informing me about why she was either late or has to cancel her secretaries (Monica and Sheryl) ca...ll me to ask for money. Would you keep this lawyer if she hasn't even represented you?

The court cancelled these dates which unfortunately is a very common phenomenon and understandably frustrating. Lawyers can't control the docket and often run late to appointments and court hearings because previous court hearings run late.

Unethical lawyer

I utilized this attorney for a divorce, and she wasn't very courtesy or respectful to me, her client. After I decided not to move forward in my divorce, she would not refund my retainer fees. She is absolutely worthless. Don't waste your time, energy, or money in an attorney who lacks ethics.

When you hire an attorney with a contract the terms of that contract determine the terms of representation and withdrawal. The time and energy expended by that lawyers office still requires compensation regardless of whether you change your mind and no longer wish to proceed.

Top Notch!

I hired Lyda Ness Garcia to represent me after a friend referred me to her, I was going through child custody modification to obtain custody of my children and she delivered. She is super quick to respond to emails and is very knowledgeable in her field. You might have to obtain some paperwork yourse...lf such school records etc. , but if you’re really interested to retain or win the custody then you need to do your part as well. Wait until you see this lady in action “WOW” this is where she shines, she left no doubt in my mind that she knows her stuff. Not only that she is also honest my friend also hired her and she told him it did not look and gave him his options. Other attorneys are only interested in the money and they will tell you that it will be a sure win and then show up to court and they will lay an egg. Do you yourself a favor and at least go talk to her before you hire someone.
