Unethical

While deployed I asked Ms. Thomas to delay hearing on a motion filed to dislocate my children to another state. Ms. Thomas proceeded with this hearing and my children were given permission to leave the state while I was deployed. Ms. Thomas failed to advise me that I had appeal right's in which I ...was unaware of until I hired another attorney and my children had already left the state. Per federal law, my rights as a parent serving in active deployed status was violated. The opposing attorney and Ms. Thomas attend the same law school together.

Be aware. Don't hire if you are a male.

I hired Mrs. Thomas as my attorney thinking that I she will be working for me, but in reality she was helping the opposing party. I was sending her emails and she couldn't give me straight answers. Just you know every answer though confusing and not satisfying it was, she charge for it. Confusing cli...ents increases more money on her side. Do not say that I did not warn you. She was not asking me what I want or giving me any advice concerning the whole matter. I regret hiring her.

Child Support

I hired TLF around June for a child support case. All communication lines by phone and email all cost. The only thing free is regarding your bill. I assume with this law firm, if you are not talking about money then you are not talking about nothing. No update about your case unless via email. You wo...uld assume due to her been busy this is why communication is so lacking. Even if you talk to the paralegals about understanding your case/questions they would recommend to talk to her, but she barely available to address the issues and will charge you. Money over understanding and communication at this law firm!!!!

A TERRIBLE ATTORNEY

I hired Ms Thomas about three years ago to help me handle a social service case dealing with my child due to my now ex-husband who is now in prison,he was harrasing me and calling social service about 25 times every day and when he found out i hired an attorney he did the same thimg to her and she dr...opped me and kept all the money i spent and i spent alot with this woman , she let me down for all the talk she did she sure didnt stand up for none of it we didnt even make it to court and she broke under pressure and i spent 800 dollars for her to tell me a man that i was separated from wont stop calling her , thats what i hired her for to help me instead she dropped me and left me high and dry no service
