Margot L. Carter

She helped me get out of WA, but didn't fully read the parenting plan. She definitely didn't help me understand the fine print. Her price was nice but she was disorganized. Other lawyers didn't have very nice things to say and mostly rolled their eyes. I had to keep up on what I paid otherwise she wo...uldn't count it towards my bill. I would not recommend her for family matters especially in cases of domestic abuse. She told me I shouldn't have slept with someone I didn't know. I reminded her we knew each other for 5 yrs before getting engaged and having child. I had to chase her down to get things done.

I went through a horrible divorce this year and was referred to Margot through the military. I was frustrated through the entire process. She was extremely unorganized, and never had set hours and would not return my calls for weeks. At one point, she and her assistant went on vacation for an entire ...week and never notified me directly, and never posted a note on the door of her office. I genuinely feel like Margot never represented my character accurately in court, and without any specific reason at all, the court only awarded me every other weekend custody of my son. Margot continuously gave me false hope as to how there was no way the court would award my wife what she was asking, but then would come back from court and email the decision, which was outrageous spousal support and child support numbers, and minimal custody of my son. I would never refer this attorney to any man whose spouse is trying to take his livelihood and his child. Margot also never sat me down to explain my final divorce decree, but simply had her assistant email the final documents to me.
