Worst Lawyer I ever hired

After hiring this attorney to represent me in court on a very minor $300 accident at a Walmart parking lot, l wrote her an email describing exactly what happened and told her to tell the judge this, well, you guessed it , she did not tell the judge anything that was in my email and as you can gue...ss I was found guilty and fined $650....Never have I ever had such a terrible attorney ...Think twice before you hire her.

You will be sorry !!!!

Worse damn lawyer I ever had, charged me $3500 to handle a very minor fender bender in a Wal-Mart parking lot and screwed it up royally in my court appearance , failed to tell the judge what I emailed to her to tell the judge and I was fined heavily by the judge , what a waste of $3500 for her poor ...representation. Very poor at responding to emails also.

"I went up against Ms. Killham as a prosecutor and found her to be a fair but strong adversary. When she left the prosecutor's office, I was happy to refer cases to her that I couldn't take on."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
