Veronica Teresa Lerma

I hired her for a simple divorce case. She has unilaterally tried to withdraw counsel for unknown reasons. She has refused to communicate with me ever since 1/2/26. She has not returned my emails or phone calls. Due to her lack of communication, my ex who I have an restraining order against, has repe...atedly harassed me and attempted to stalk me. Lerma has a history of poor communication. My ex's counsel has harassed me in the beginning of the proceedings, assuming that I was representing myself pro se. My ex's counsel is extremely belligerent, who I already reported to Texas bar, and will likely start harassing me again. I will be requesting a refund as I paid her 75% of the counsel fee which is 3750 dollars. She has not nearly done 75% of the work - she has attended ONE restraining order hearing. I know my rights, if she does not refund me appropriately, I may have to take my grievance to the Texas Bar again. Where in this world am I finding so many inappropriate and unprofessional attorneys? El Paso, you need to do better. The latest issue involves them forcing me to go to a hearing during a time I have clearly stated I was not available. I will be contacting the proper authorities.
