Veronica K Mcdougal

It’s clear that she either needs a better secretary or have a handle on the people that she represents and set up times to follow up on cases or petitions that she’s working on. I’ve called for a couple weeks no with no return call from her, and sent emails to a lawyer in her office who helps her: NO... RESPONSE. It’s been 40 days since our petition was filed per her law office and the state of Utah requires 21 days for the served party to respond. Why haven’t we heard anything from her ?? Anytime we call this older woman answers “Law Offices” with a baby in the background crying or other noises. And it’s always an excuse why she doesn’t call back... or can’t answer the phone. We are extremely disappointed that Veronica eluded to her willingness and vowed dedication to help my husband see his daughter (as are his rights). But this is just poor business dealings. Strange how those who have cases that won’t pay more than a few hours of work never hear from her but those who go to court or are big cases are giving her rave reviews. Not impressed. Don’t take cases you can’t give 100% to, Veronica. It’s not a difficult concept. $2,000 retainer means you work for me. Not on your time. Do not hire her if you have an issue that requires her attention but won’t give her a big payout.

So I found this attorney thru unbundled legal services. I met with her one time and she seemed fantasctic! Knowledgeable, caring, the whole nine yards. The thing with unbundled services is I am supposed to be able to hire her for specific services that I pay for (i.e. a 30 min consultation to go over... paperwork and get advice ect. Is $75) or I could pay a retainer ($1500) to hire her. Great fees compared to most attorneys...yet, along with what several other people have said, she is next to impossible to get ahold of! I have spent months calling and leaving messages with the receptionist as well as sent her an email, thinking maybe I said something that caused her to not want to represent me or something....come to find out, she is just flaky like that apparently. Super disappointed because I was really excited after meeting with her as she seems more than competent in her field....also, the unbundled legal services refuses to refer me to another attorney. Don't even bother trying to use her as an attorney unless you want nothing done on your case or no communication.
