Not a very good Lawyer
Ms. Westerfield started out as a wonderful go getter. But in the end didn't listen to me. Got important dates wrong and relayed them to the judge and cost me alot of money in my settlement.
Divina Westerfield
Replied last May 24, 2011I haven't done divorce work in more than 8 years, so this client is wrong when she indicates that she used me 1 - 3 years. I think I know this particular person (an attorney remembers the clients that want everything but don't want to pay for anything) and she wanted me to introduce new evidence AFTER the final hearing. That's not possible. If you don't tell your attorney everything PRIOR to the hearing so she can prepare for it, and call those witnesses to testify, allow the other side to cross-examine, then you can't later say its your attorney's fault for not "listening" to the client. She brought me all these "affidavits" from people AFTER a hearing and wanted me to enter them into the record - which is impossible under court rules, although I even tried. Moral of the story - tell your attorney everything about the case BEFORE he/she goes to court. And if you don't want to tell them everything, don't be surprised when you lose on those issues.
