Yolanda Simmons Bachtell

I know this will be a little long, but this is important…. We used Ms. Bachtell for my husband divorce we had trust in her. That is now totally gone. Long story short…4.5 years ago we were in a pretty bad accident. Fortunately, everyone was not injured seriously. With that said…. Ms. Bachtell IS NOT ...AN INJURY LAWYER note to self. We called to get advice only. She said she could handle it….well she did kinda NOT. There are things we did not know. Subrogation, the fact that we were not hurt bad was only a “soft tissue” injury. Blah blah blah….turns out if we had been told these two things it probably wouldn’t have taken 4.5 years and a mediator to settle it. OH and after that it literally took 6 months for her to finally settle it. The worse part she would have one excuse after another why she wasn’t on our case, out of state, at Lowes for a pipe that broke etc. etc. I am so angry it’s not funny. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE HER BUSINESS. Lawyers work on referrals. She is not a professional lawyer

Ms. Bachtell will take your money and provide a lot of excuses for why she hasn't done anything, but that's all she'll do. Something simple like returning calls or responding to emails/texts is asking way too much from Ms. Bachtell. It's been over 2 1/2 years since I started the divorce process - ...it's just been a huge waste of time and money.

I don't even know where to begin... she ended up messing up so horribly.. I am now a single mom in $25K worth of debt because I had to hire a new attorney to fix things and keep me out of jail. she lied, ignored emails and phone calls and talked with opposing counsel about my case after I fired her! ...RUN!!
