Allen W Bodiford - Attorney at Law

This attorney is unprofessional and uses scare tactics. I was sent a letter per this attorney due…read moreto the fact Spalding County Schools continues to bully my child. In this letter they tried to demand I do and don't do certain things as if they are a judge or law enforcement. They do not know federal law as quoted and actually told me I do not have rights that I have. This law firm is (in my opinion) a JOKE! Any law firm that would send a letter such as the one I received (and to the wrong address) is one I would be utterly embarrassed to be represented by. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. There are far better and more professional firms out there.

Can we give zero stars?! Paid their lawyer to do an appeal in state court as he lost for us in…read moremagistrate court. He was VERY well informed of what our intentions were, very informed of the continued fighting between parties that was only escalating as time elapsed, and all the immense damage we had been caused by said party. Not only that, but our family was being severely harassed, which we had proof of. But we had decided we wanted to address going another route, as we didn't think it would play well in state court against the original party. The liability of the situation actually ended up being someone else's. Losing in magistrate court happened in February with no date in state court given and we were yet again, having trouble with these individuals and no contact from this lawyer by late May. So three months with no communication or updates except with his receptionist, who claimed she was just going to pass along info. We were never contacted again! We were also advised we would have a title search done for our property, and that never came to fruition either. We then get an email essentially out of the blue stating they won't continue as our counsel. Claiming that the situation had escalated beyond what they originally planned for. That couldn't be further from the truth! They knew and were clearly advised when we hired them, of the continued escalation of the situation, that time was of the essence and yet they continued to do nothing but take our money. He wouldn't even keep in contact with us via email! Then we realized he requested to get one of his other office attorneys involved for the harassment portion, who then told him he should dump us. Wow, tacky behavior at best! Steer clear of this firm, waste of money and waste of time!

They took $6000 and now MIA with inmate still incarcerated with still no promised bond. This has turned into malicious prosecution. Brad Moody isn't that bright. He hang's himself in his own emails and gets personal with his emotions when the family asks about progress of the case. Unprofessional is an understatement. They do not respond to inmates/client's inquiries and are not to be trusted. The paralegal Shannon is never in the office or available. She's either painting or moving in her new home or at home sick. DO NOT USE THIS FIRM. And if they respond to my review it will be with lies. These attorneys are frauds, stealing money and deliberately leaving a paid client incarcerated out of retaliation.

My husband and I contacted David Abbott seeking legal counsel regarding a sensitive family matter,…read moreand unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. Before we were given an opportunity to fully explain why we were calling, we were repeatedly interrupted and spoken to in a dismissive and condescending manner. The conversation quickly shifted to finances, and the overall interaction felt judgmental and unprofessional. We understand attorneys must screen potential clients and may choose not to take certain cases. However, basic respect and professionalism should still be extended to people reaching out for help during difficult situations. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this office.

In a third, he referred me to an attorney that specialized in what I needed help with because it was in my best interest. I would never hesitate to recommend him, and I know that if he is not able to help in a particular matter he would recommend the best course of action, even if it meant a referral to another attorney. I have had direct and indirect experiences with several attorneys, and he is, by far, the most honest and trustworthy attorney that I have ever received legal assistance from. Based on conversations that we have had, I know that he is very intelligent and knowledgeable, like a chess master, he has already thought through several outcomes. I trust him and his legal expertise with my life (and the lives of those that I love). I don't normally write reviews, but I was looking up his contact information and came across this yelp listing and saw the negative reviews which describe experiences that are very different from my own. So I thought I'd write one.
