Jill Marie Carlson

I paid a $150 consult fee for a habitability issue with landlord. Carlson took all my organized paperwork, advising me of a $1500.00 fee to rep me in a civil "trial" for habitability. Carlson advised me "If we do not go to trial she would return most of the $1500.00", I paid Carlson $1500.00. Inst...ead of copying my paperwork and returning all my original documentation, she kept it. I had a sheriff at the place in question , I could not produce my lease as she had it. Charging me over two hundred dollars to send me a SMS picture message of my lease. As tho it is my fault she kept all my documentation. From there it got worse. Not wanting to hear me she continued to advise me that our time in court is only 30 minutes, she expressed she felt I would fold under pressure! On and On she went NOT listening another $300.00 gone. At the courthouse she arranged a deal without the other sides permission coming at us we accepted the deal. She went to their lawyer then came back saying "They don't accept the deal". What? It is their own deal. Railroading another deal that we expressed NO to. She did not take us to trial. Yet at this point $1100.00 was gone and how did I know this? Carlson kept using terms "I don't know where we are in the fee" "We haven't used all the fee" " You will get some money back: since we didn't go to trial". What exactly is the remainder? Hesitate to disclose this as it "is calculated at months end" I got an e-mail next day stating we were at $1100.00. I replied shocked and expressed I felt as though I was being robbed. Quickly Carlson met us in court to withdraw from the case and leave us in dire state of chaos. In the end our habitability issue was never litigated and due to the misrepresentation of Jill Carlson and the outcome of the case I am left in a hopeless financial bind. Suicide was considered as an only option due to the nature of blatant UN just abuse we endured in the three & one half hour trial (3 1/2 hours a far cry from 30 minutes Jill Carlson) faced without an attorney, I would never do that to anyone I pledge to assist. Looking for a competent attorney? I recommend Anybody But........Jill Carlson.
