A trustworthy attorney

Ms. Owens is a terrific attorney. She demonstrated her experience, intelligence, communication, thoughtfulness, and empathy throughout the case. She was reassuring during prep, hearings, and trials and didn't let the opposing side bully her or my wife. Ms. Owens prepared and filed on my wife’s beha...lf in a contentious custody battle. My wife has been her client for five years, consistently winning with Ms. Owens taking care of her and the kids. She heard everything my wife said and cared. I have seen her dedication, which is refreshing in a Family Court lawyer. Ms. Owens is a real above-and-beyond human being.

Very dissatisfied

Please be aware that this attorney has very bad communication and most likely is over worked. I hired her and she over promised everything and in the end she did nothing for me. She never filed anything like she said she did. I checked with the courthouse everyday to make sure. I am unable to get a...ny proof of my file from her or even an invoice. In order for me to get any of my money back I am having to take her to small claims. This is so sad because now my daughter is stuck in her current situation for longer. Please do your research before hiring this attorney. And if your referred by a certain legal company which you pay for monthly like I was be even more careful its not worth the discount. Cannot even get her to email me anymore. She promised me an invoice and my file within 7 day on March 7th 2023 IT IS NOW the 15th of march 8 days later and no email's no answered phone calls!!! NOTHING!! I was a little worried when I read her reviews about how someone paid her and she just disappeared. I should've believed it. Please please please be careful with who you choose as an attorney.

Replied last August 07, 2023

Again, an ex parte application was submitted, and you decided to withdraw it less than 48 hours later. Your documents were sent several weeks ago, and we have not heard from you again. As such, it appeared as though you received your file and closing documents as you did not state otherwise. Further, we responded to every communication from you, and on several occasions' multiple times per day, and you know this. This review was submitted one day after your demands, which were made after the work was already completed. Your situation was not caused by any failure to act on my end, as it predated your contact with my office. It is unfortunate that you chose to pull the ripcord mid-submission as I was ready, able and willing to see your matter through. You did not "take" me to small claims court, as this is the first, I have heard from you for quite some time. If you recall, you apologized for your relentless calls and messages at one point, claiming that you had recently been "scammed," and were a little paranoid from that experience. Lastly, your insinuation that I somehow took advantage of you is incredibly unfair, Michelle, as I did right by you; I viewed you as a parent with a child in need, and not based on an ability or inability to pay my fee first. I wish you the very best.

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.
