Georgia A Wilder

How do we go about reporting her to the bar ? Wishing we could give her zero stars -Everything everyone else has written before us , she’s an incompetent thief. Took the money years ago , refuses to make requested changes to verbiage, rude ,and never responds to emails or calls . This must stop befor...e others have to suffer through this .

Ms. Wilder was engaged on my behalf by my Divorce Attorneys, a large Phx Firm, the beginning of April, 2021. Mine is a relatively small Pension Plan and we agreed to split it 50:50. Neither my Attorneys or I could seem to make "contact" with Ms. Wilder, but all the Documents were sent to her... office. Finally in November, apparently one of my attorneys did make contact, telling Ms. Wilder we would likely reach a settlement in December, 2021. I finally spoke with Ms. Wilder on December 2, 2021. I offered to answer any questions she might have, and told her I would gladly participate in this resolution of a 50:50 "SPLIT." I impressed on Ms. Wilder I needed the "split" amount for the Pension Administrator before December, 30, 2019 or, "I was obligated to take a Required Minimum Distribution ("RMD") on the entire amount and PAY TAXES ON THAT AMOUNT." Ms. Wilder stated, "that is between you and your Plan Administrator", but I'll get to work on this. I spoke again with Ms. Wilder on December 6, 2019 expressing my concerns and my willingness to assist her with any questions or concerns she might have. I tried to contact her throughout the remainder of December, but she did not respond. She also did not respond to my Attorney's queries. December 30 passed with no communication from Ms. Wilder, and, yes, I was forced to take the full RMD and I am responsible for considerable tax obligations that should have been avoided. The Divorce Agreement was signed by the Judge in mid-December, 2021. As of mid-February we had no definite communications from Ms. Wilder. When I complained of this to my Attorneys, I was told "perhaps you should handle this yourself" (Strange, but true). Then "suddenly", Ms. Wilder requested all the documentations we had already supplied. We supplied them again. We were rewarded with no additional communications from Ms. Wilder. In mid-March we learned Ms. Wilder had consulted the opposition's Forensic Accountant for reasons unknown. This accountant had been excluded from the Court Proceedings by the Trial Judge. Ms. Wilder did NOT inform my attorneys of these inquiries as is customary in these issues...everything is suppose to be done OPENLY. This smacked of obvious apparent partisan actions on Ms. Wilder's part I then wrote an Email to Ms. Wilder detailing her seemingly non-standard behavior and asking her to complete the task for which she had been contracted and PAID IN ADVANCE. Ms. Wilder attacked me claiming my "tone was condescending, and she did not wish to defend herself". She could not, however, refute anything I said concerning her behavior. She unilateral "withdrew". We must now incur more expense re-educating a new QDRO person. We have "lost" months in this process. Forewarned is Forearmed!

Georgia did a great job preparing a QDRO for my ex and myself. Neither of us understood the process but she took the time to explain it and made us feel comfortable. The court appointed her and I'm glad it did. She was always there to answer questions either over the phone or at her office. I highly ...recommend her!

Georgia was hired to prepare a very straight forward and simple QDRO. Just as others have mentioned here, it took Georgia months to get the document done and I finally had to start checking in every week or two (probably still would not be done if I had not inquired regularily). After reviewing the... document, I found it had errors in it. So add another month to the process as the corrections were ignored for weeks. Georgia's attitude became hostile once I began to do regular follow-ups and once I pointed out the mistakes. Geez Georgia...did you just expect me to wait forever?

Handled QDRO for me. Paid in late November 2017 for service. I continued to call monthly to check on status. I was told it could take up to six months to process by her assistant, but to keep checking back monthly. Last week in March 2018 I wrote on email expressing my concerns to Georgia. ... wrote back with an apology for the "delay" and that she didn't know what happened, but it "kinda got lost in the paperwork on her " but that a DRAFT would be sent to me shortly for review! Four boilerplate pages (at $300.00 per page mind you....) came to my email promptly. She was humble when I called and insisted I speak with her personally and said she "didn't know what happened and she was sorry." I relayed directly to her that she needs to be spot on from this point forward (I drove directly to get office to sign as did my ex ..... Very stressful situation to say the least especially when money is involved and I'm the recipient of same). She was nonchalant, but her administrative assistant rose up and offered to take the charge. One week to the day we had the judge signed QDRO and the process was underway with the Plan Administrator. I would NOT recommend this lawyer to anyone. She was recommended to me from my Divorce Law Firm (Dickinson Wright) who were excellent. I notified my DLF of this situation for their future reference.
