Ursula H Gordwin

I was very discouraged after meeting with my lawyer for the 2nd or 3rd time. She introduced herself to me again, and asked me questions we had previuosly gone over as if we had never met. I was so confused, It felt like she really didn't care what I was saying.Needless to say, I wasn't confident goin...g forward with her. I understand she meets many people and has a lot of cases ,but this is SUCH a traumatic situation for me. Knowing I was of that little importance didn't give me any confidence that she would put in the effort to really help me. I also called and emailed multiple times prior to my court dates to get an idea of what I should expect going into court to calm my nerves a bit. I never received anything back. I struggle being in front of groups of people and going to court is anxiety x100 . All I can say is I was really upset over the entire situation and scared to put my future in her hands. This was a year ago, and I'm still struggling with her blatant disregard for my case I feel it was because she was my public defender appointed by the court's, and I didn't pay to retain her...it's just not okay in my eyes.

Ursula did the impossible for my son. My daughter was killed in a car accident and she was able to get him released for the funeral. She went above and beyond for my family. I could not have laid my daughter to rest without my son, my only child now. I will forever be grateful to Ursula for what she... did for us. She has so much compassion and maintains a level of professionalism that blows all the rest out of the water by far. thank you so much .

Extremely unprofessional... from the beginning, I had a feeling she did not have my husband's best interest at heart. She showed up late to the hearing without a phone call or email. When she rushed in, she had no idea who her "client" was, mistook him for someone completely different, different name..., different citation. Because of her disorganized nature, she went into the hearing not fighting for the best interest of my husband, therefore making him settle for the worst. This happened a couple years ago, and is STILL a major heartache and burden on our family until October of this year, God willing. Over charged for zero defense.
