Desiree S Hosannah

Mrs. Hosannah was appointed as the guardian ad litem for my case. After conducting interviews with me, my ex-wife, our child, and a few collateral contacts, I hoped that her background as a social worker would ensure she adhered to standards representing the best interests of the child. Instead, Mrs.... Hosannah made unsubstantiated impressions and opinions in her report to the court, which it relied upon to change the child's residential placement. Her impressions included statements such as: "There appears to be some support for the assertion that [the child's] negative behaviors have increased after visiting his father and may be due to coaching or encouragement from the father. They could also stem from a child simply tired of the excessive amount of time he spends in a car visiting his father." This either/or statement reveals her intent to disparage one parent and prejudice the court, not based on sufficient evidence, but due to partiality toward one parent over the other. This statement and other similar statements reveal Mrs. Hosannah's deep-rooted bias, which I suspect was influenced by my positionality—a white male litigating against a minority female. Additionally, Mrs. Hosannah appeared at trial and disclosed certain allegations not included in her report, a significant deviation from the standards of transparency and neutral conduct that a GAL is obligated to follow. Desiree's unethical actions and subpar work product created a bias that influenced the court to terminate my residential time with my son for a prolonged period of time. I never told Mrs. Hosannah about the traumatic impact her actions had on my son. I hope she reads this because I want her to know that, due to the court's horrific decision based on her GAL reports, my son was traumatized and experienced significant hardship as a consequence of my marginalization in his life. He dropped out of high school at 15, began to sell and use drugs, engaged in frequent and intense conflict with his mother (and step-father), was nearly arrested, has been fired from several jobs, and is struggling in many areas of his life. I hope Mrs. Hosannah no longer serves as a guardian ad litem, sparing other families from her harmful and unethical practices. If you are considering hiring Mrs. Hosannah as an attorney, I would question her ability to provide equitable and fair treatment to every client. This concern is reflected in many of the unusually negative reviews and contentious circumstances surrounding the opinions expressed and her responses. From my experience, if she cannot adhere to principles and standards of fairness and neutrality as a Guardian ad Litem, I doubt her ability to apply fair and equitable standards for every client, regardless of their positionality or those she litigates against.

Read the reviews, all of them. I did and experienced exactly what the negative ones talk about. I firmly believe the positive ones were friends, relatives, workers of this firm trying to beef up a negative rating. This lawyer steals your money, speaks about things one way verbally but another in e...mail, does not respond (knowing you called), and does things you know nothing about. It took me speaking to an honest lawyer to figure out what was going on behind my back. Buyer beware on this one, and the whole staff is on it with her, I had to use my friends phone to get them to answer my call and they got irritated about it. Save your time and money, she does not care about you or you family and situation, complete shyster here.

The reason I decided to write this is because YEARS later and I mean YEARS! I am still cleaning up a mess that started with horrible representation from Desiree. My case was in 2012 and some of the residue of the piss poor job by Desiree still effects me and unfortunately my baby girl. I fired Desire...e after first & foremost her not working for my success. She some how thought it was a good deal for me to give my ex everything we shared and $1,000 in child support, plus the little bit in my retire 401k from Century Link. LoL. Oh yeah and this was on a 40k a year salary and raising 2 children on my own full time, while supporting the child in question, so if you do the math yes that's 3 kids. My kids lifestyle didn't matter in this case. The craziest part is that this "professional" took everything my ex said as gospel, which made it feel like she was working for her more than me! She believed all the false allegations and it distorted her judgement. Years later I have been blessed with a wonderful wife, bigger family, but unfortunately still dealing with my ex and the confidence instilled in her to continue to harass me started with Desiree. I tried to explain to Desiree the mental illness of Jessica Dennis, but she would not believe and now im still dealing. I should of went with my first gut to sue Desiree considering she literally took my money and did nothing for me. She just took everything the other attorney said and pushed me to agree. It was like a feminist movement against me and all I wanted to do was take care of ALL my children equally. If you are reading this and was wise enough to do so BEFORE hiring her please re-consider if you made the same mistake I did I pray your situation has a different outcome. And to Desiree, understand the importance of your job. Your dealing with peoples LIVES & FAMILIES! If you aren't ready to give them your all then don't take their money. I have to do the same thing for my businesses and because I do it right they come back and refer. From your latest reviews it looks like you may have somewhat got your act together and for your clients sake I hope so. I wish I could have said the same for me.

What I find sad is that Desiree has to defend herself from her own clients! Why is that? If you are a good attorney than your record would speak for itself vs you, but records also speak for bad attorneys like in this case. If you are reading this think twice before hiring Desiree. She will throw in... there how she was a judge blah blah blah, but have you ever heard of a judge going back to a lawyer??? She talks very well and leading up to hiring her you will think you have a great attorney. Unfortunately that is FAR from the TRUTH! I hired Desiree for my case where it was a pretty easy case. I was not asking for anything less than to get my divorce finalized and to see my child and pay a respectable child support amount. By the time Desiree was finished I ended up giving my ex-wife 100% everything we owned, and ended up paying a $1,000 child support payment on 40k a year salary, even though I had 2 children living with me full time. Desiree never gave me updates and never even sent me a break down of what she "was doing for my case", why? Because she did nothing, she is a very lazy attorney that will get away with doing nothing if you let her. Which is sad, because you shouldn't have to babysit your attorney. When dealing with a situation that concerns your well being you want to be with someone knowledgeable and someone that roars like a lion when needed vs a kitty. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone including my enemies, because it wouldn't be ethically right. I fired her and handled my own case the rest of the way and ended up getting my child support down to $374. The judge even asked me, "what did you attorney do for you when you had one???" Wow thanks Desiree for nothing! If I knew I had a better chance by myself I would have NEVER gone with her. DON'T USE HER IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CASE!!!

The Almighty God is my witness!!! I beg of you, please do not hire this lawyer!!! Let God be my Judge if I lied on this attorney.. She's a big fraud.. I see her comment trying to defend herself against people who are saying the truth about her.. I hired Desiree to help me with a divorce case.. Eve...ry time, she would send me a bill and lied that she's working deligently on my case.. She will even portray herself as a Christian.. She will postpone your case on purpose to get money from you and do nothing! I never get one single email from her about everything she discusses with other attorney. Desiree is a very horrible and lazy attorney. I suspected she was very shady and fraudulent about my case and requested for the emails and the documents she claimed she had prepared for me one day before trial. Desiree couldn't provide one single email and documents.. I she lied the law does not require her to provide those documents to me (a big lie). The next day she even charged me the day I fired her! That's how desperate she is about taking your money from you by forging bill statements for things she did not do.. I went to her office to get my documents.. I was so shocked when she was pulling my documents out under the tables.. She never prepared any documents for trial. Very disorganized attorney.. I had to remind her and even advise her to do her own job but the saddest part is that she never did anything.. My heart bled that day knowing that she stole from me. Desiree is a shady attorney.. I am so angry as I'm typing this review but I will let God deal with Desiree Himself.. She's heartless!! She lied to me that her paralegal was an attorney.. Desiree need to repent if she doesn't want the wrath of God to descend on her.. She can not continue to treat people the she does..The almighty God will judge Desiree for what she did to me. God will fight on my behalf.. The only reason I'm not suing her is because I committed everything to the hands of God.. I sincerely believe God will judge this lawyer.. How could you send bills to people and false fully list things you've done in order to get money from me knowing fully that you didn't not do anything.. I even told her I want working, yet she still charged me for things she never did for me.. I ended up loosing the case and everything.. She just make things up to get money from people. She will send you documents to sign the day it's due.. What a lazy attorney.. Please I beg of you do not hire this lawyer... She's the most horrible and fraudulent thing that has ever happened to the supreme law of the land.. I fired hire a day before trial.. I know she's going to make a false statement after seeing this statement claiming what I'm saying is not true.. Run for this lawyer.. Please run!!!! She's a fraud.. I caught this attorney in her own act... I am not an attorney but in definitely smarter than this attorney.. The day I called her out, she attacked my person to put me down and used all the things I told her about my case against me.. What kind of a lawyer does that? Everything I told her was suppose to be confidential but when I called her out to provide proof of everything she's been doing for me, she could provide anything and decided to attack my person in hope that infill get scared and let go.. If I knew what I know about her today, I wouldn't recommend her to my enemies.. My God will definitely fight Desiree and expose her.. Amen!! I've been praying to God to grant me the opportunity to find a way to make a review about this lawyer.. I believe this is the day that God has made for me..
