Sylvia Dee Woods

Sylvia handled my divorce case and initially I was impressed with the way she intimidated the other attorney and my spouse. She actually won a minor legal decision that she was proud of and offered it as proof that she knew the way to "win" this. She actually encouraged me to include in my paperwo...rk sexual innuendo that has nothing to do materially to my case, but she wanted to "show the judge what a bum" my spouse was. Her antics made for good show, but in the end, just angered my spouse and hardened him to defend to the end. Unfortunately, she missed several deadlines for court and caused dates to be post poned, continued or otherwise delayed and yet the billable hours kept racking up. My spouse and I ended up in a settlement outside of the Judges order that we both hated, but could live with. What is hard to live with is the almost $30,000 I spent alone in legal fees to her. I believe it was her lack of finnese and failure to adhere to local rules that caused made my fees more than double. I can see how other rate her highly as she does take charge and initially shows she has bigger, (excuse the expression) "balls", than any man in the room. That bravado wears thin, really fast, especially as the checks are cashed
