Posted by anonymous | February 22, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Beware!

I hired Donna Wardlaw to represent me in a divorce action. She was very unprofessional and charged me outrageous sums of money. I had to file bankruptcy because of her fees. She tried to control an inheritance I received during this time. I told her that I wouldn't agree to it. We had many clashes, a...nd she acted very unprofessional towards me, berated me about my performance at a deposition, and talked down to me. I would not recommend her to anyone. I paid in excess of $50k for a divorce that my new lawyers, after I fired her, informed me would normally have been a third of what I paid to her if I had gone elsewhere.

She is difficult to get attention on your case. I tried to explain how important my situation was and how dire my financial condition. It seemed she was only interested in writing long affidavits and spending my money. She dragged my divorce out over 2 years . The meter is always running with this a...ttorney. Unbelievable. STAY AWAY FROM HER. SHE IS TERRIBLE AND WILL DRAIN YOUR FINANCES.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
