Etta Ibok

This attorney is the worst , she mishandled my case dragged it out and made everything difficult. She also has no communication skills, I would call for advice on a emergency situation and she left me stranded and it hurt my case . The most disturbing part of it she works with the opposite party att...orney, that attorney then fabricated the information in court to help hurt the case. This attorney drinks as well. It’s visible her patience with her clients are defensive, she makes you feel less than. She’s irritable and lazy. She doesn’t care about children well-being. To add if you’re pretty woman she will make you very uncomfortable stay away!

Ms.Ibok represents my 3 young children in family court and I am Pro se. She communicates with the respondent's attorney and refuse to communicate with me after I've made several attempts to reach a compromise (the respondent is the paternal grandmother who gained custody of my children by default on ...my part and consent by the father). Ms. Ibok was bought on my case after the prior children's attorney withdrew after I exposed her to her supervisor for misrepresentation. Ms. Ibok unfamiliar with my custody case requested NO contact for myself & three young children 8, 7, and 6 at that time. Now their 9, 8 & 6. I haven't seen or spoken with my kids since 1/17/18 to present day nor has the father. On one occasion I visited her office it was May 22, 2018 and when the receptionist went to get her she came out and saw it was me and she said curtly " you can't come to my office" closed the door and walked away ; prior she consistently ignores my emails. I filed a motion to show cause to recuse her for her incompetence and conflict of interest. She has NOT represented my kids properly, they do NOT want to be alienated from their parents and has ALWAYS maintained that via supervised visits w social workers and court reports and ACS. Still Ms. Ibok works along with the respondent and her attorney ALL are seniors. My children are being neglected by the pgm( paternal grandmother) and Ms. Ibok fails to advocate for reunification of my family DESPITE the fact BOTH parents do NOT have ANY abuse allegations and the pgm lost her parental rights for all 6 of her own kids and is currently terminally ill. Ms. Ibok when asked if my kids wanted to see me in court claimed she explained to my kids client and attorney privilege and they are exercising that right. I KNOW MY KIDS AND THAT IS A BLANTANT LIE!!!! if my kids DIDN'T want to see me that would ONLY solidify her REQUEST so WHY on God's green earth she would withhold that information. This is deliberate omission and willful deception and misrepresentation of the facts. She CAN'T even pronounce my 1st born MOSES's name and she speaks incoherently there is no way my kids comprehend her claims. She should be suspended immediately or disbarred.

What should have been a fairly easy case, was turned into a long, drawn out process and I was very unhappy with the outcome. She does not recall what she says or is ordered by the court to do. She does not do well when she is flustered. At my most recent court date, I was being questioned by the othe...r attorney and she was objecting so much, she was overruled almost every time and at one point just stood there stammering because she could not get the words out.

Extremely unprofessional during one of our last court dates she was on a conference call and totally neglected to speak with me. Mean while my case case was being called and she didn't respond so while i was inside the with the judge the judge had to call her on the phone to get her off.she also advi...sed me not to meet with professional advisors that the court appointed because"she felt there was no need".also she told me to give up my child to her father because she didn't think i would win my custody case,and all i needed was a modification i already had custody granted through the court. I would never recommend her too anyone! I'm still suffering because of her mistakes.
