Posted by anonymous | August 09, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Her egregious advice lost my case

Ms. Hobbs was my initial attorney for my divorce case. I emailed her with a very specific question to which she replied, "judges don't care about XXX." Based on this, I proceeded forward, and then lost my case for that exact issue! She showed up to a pre-trial motion completely unprepared, which s...he acknowledge after the hearing. I fired her, and hired a new attorney who thought surely I had misunderstood what Ms. Hobbs had told me about "the issue." When I showed her the email from Ms. Hobbs, my new attorney was shocked. She couldn't believe Ms. Hobbs would say a judge wouldn't care about a law that is on the books. Despite my new attorney's best efforts, the damage had already been done, costing me tens of thousands of dollars.

Family lawyer | Apr 03

Relationship: Co-worker

"Kelly is inaccurately listed as doing 100% criminal defense. She does this well but her true talent lies in the family law cases she handles, particularly at the Juvenile Court level where, because she is so frequently there, the judges have the highest respect for her. You don't stay in a partnership for long with people who you don't completely trust and respect. Kelly tries to stay under the radar most of the time but the professionals of every description who work with her regularly hold her in highest regard."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
