Custody

Where do I begin . I sincerely hope this attorney retires from practicing law immediately so no one else has to endure the pain and injustice I received from hiring her to help me . My case was very simple . i feel as I could have represented myself better . After months of spending hours and day...s printing out my own paperwork for evidence I do not think she ever even looked at them . Nor her or her staff took the time to put anything into the court for evidence either. Opposing council was very organized and had stacks of court approved evidence . I would call in tears at times begging to sit down and meet with her to discuss what would happen in court . The night before a 9 am hearing she finally called me in the phone and we spoke for about 20 minutes at 10 pm. She was late to court EVERY SINGLE TIME . Which I'm sure does not make the judges happy . When she got up to question myself or my ex it was like she completely forgot what we were there for . She would ask questions that made no sense whatsoever and also repeat the same questions multiple times . I have the utmost respect for older people but I believe there is an extreme amount of memory loss and confusion due to her age . Why is no one telling this person to stop trying to represent people ? The Jude would become so annoyed. Multiple times he would ask her things like "what's your point" or tell her get to the point . Or even say Mrs.Presley you already asked that question . I ended up firing her after the second day in court . It was literally the worst day of my life . I felt so betrayed that I put so much time,money and trust into this woman who intern ruined everything for me . I hired a new attorney to try to help but by the time we went back he had about 15 minutes to even Speak . He didn't get a chance to undo the damage she had done . Needless to say the judge ruled in my ex's favor . I've had to sell my home ,move , my fiancé and I will now be living in seperate homes because his children go to school where we lived . 3 kids lives who are highly attached were torn apart because of this . I sincerely hope she thinks before taking on something she is no longer capable of doing and ruining someone else's life . She is still sending me bills for over 15,000 and I had already paid over 30,000. I am working on finding a way to not have to pay this woman for the horrible representation she gave me . Please do not use this attorney . I am heartbroken .

Excellent, Trustworthy, Caring, Effective

Ms. Presley and her staff are incredible. They took my divorce and child custody case and turned it from hopeless, to a win win situation for my children and myself. Ms. Presley guiding me through the process. At times I was inpatient, at times I was unreasonable, at times I lost hope, - it was at th...ose times that I realized she was more than an attorney, and I was more than a client. She did not always tell me what I wanted to hear. But when she told me to be patient, trust me, baby steps, I listened. I went from a distraught father to a father at peace. She mentored me, through tough love and a motherly touch. She encouraged me to be kind to my ex wife. “It’s important Michael, your children will remember.” And she was right. Ms. Presley and her staff are in a class of their own. I highly recommend her. She has represented three friends of mine. All of whom are all happy with her representation.
