This is the worst experience with an attorney I have had. It has been a tremendous burden on my…read morelife during a very difficult time. I often wonder how people like this are allowed to keep practice and take others hard-working dollars. I am a very strong- independent woman, and I understand an attorney's fiduciary right to me. I am preparing for Medical School and currently in a top-ranked MBA program in the nation, trying to rebuild my life after 17 years in an abusive relationship so that I can provide for my seven children and future grandchildren. I saved my student loans, slept in my car and gave Carol everything I had- $17,000 to represent me against my ex-husband and his family. She does not respond to calls. She and her staff play the power games so evident for self-validation in this society, and any attempt to play along just to get what is best for my children is useless. I would advise anyone as one of my professors and top ranked author's has- attorney's are fiduciary- they have to look out for their client and what is best for their client, hold them to that- do not use this firm. My attorney does not respond. I send her everything I think she may need and tell her to tell me to stop because I hired her for a reason, because she knows. It has been almost a year dead on and she at first said after the new year, then let the children finish school, then I am having heart surgery (I am a nurse and was very compassionate toward this for months) then the next school year rolls around- no child support, responses stop, nothing. I call and say I understand the health issue and her paralegal Melanie told me point blank it has nothing to do with Carol's health. I have a speech impediment which has plagued me, and even though strong, I feel it is because I have constantly stood against ridicule. The paralegal Melanie on the phone mocked my speak and belittled it, and belittled me. I have no clue how this is any type of service to anyone especially at such a high price. Also, our case was in Milam county. The judge's wife worked with my ex husband at the time for the small Cameron ISD. When I would bring things up that my ex-husband did (he was representing himself) Carol would say that "we cannot say that, the judge's wife works there too." I asked to have the case moved and she didn't try. My ex-husband didn't agree and she just looked at the judge and shrugged her shoulders. I asked again and no response. Update 08.31.2019 After posting this review I received an email from my attorney which I will post. She stated that I needed to take my review down, say that I was upset, or she would not represent me. If I took it down she would continue to represent me. If not she would return $6000 of the $17,000. The thing is, the whole time she represented me I saw two invoices for serving my ex-husband. Nothing else.
