Diana I Rader

I hired this woman at a very stressful and traumatic time, which is probably the worst time to hire anyone! She convinced me she was what i needed, so i fired my other lawyer and went with her. Immediately, things did not happen the way she said. She said she would take care of letting my other la...wyer know that she was now my new counsel - she DID NOT. In fact, my other lawyer called me to see how I was doing, and had no idea I actually hired another lawyer. That was an awkward conversation I had to have and one I was not prepared for. Next, she said she would have a document written by the end of the week and it would get filed with the court. She DID NOT do this until the day before our court date, giving me no time to review what she wrote. The document she wrote contained inaccurate information and statements that I was not comfortable with, but I couldn't do anything about it because it was already filed with the court. My next complaint is that I never, not once, got a call returned, or an email returned. Her assistants never called me back either. I have filed a complaint with the Bar because of her unethical behavior. After I fired her, it took nearly a month to get money back and I never received the copy of my service fee agreement as I requested. Basically, I got nothing but false promises and a lighter pocketbook from her. She's definitely a "Boutique" lawfirm.
