The first day that I met him I told him that I could not stand the guardianship company, especially the people that worked there, who was in charge of my father's finances and health. And I said that I would have liked his help in saying something against them in a hearing in front of Judge Freddie Burton. He said yes to this in the meeting. Of course later he said that he could not do this because he did a lot work with that specific guardianship company. I was going through the grief of losing a parent and he never had a decency to say condolences over your loss. I have text messages which prove how he never empathized. A therapist told me at the time that,"This lawyer is not trying to get the physical possessions that your father left for you in the will." Not a single text message or communication indicates that he made an effort in me getting these pempathize. He did not care that I lived and died. One day, left a text message one time saying that I was worried about being stranded in Detroit and missing the last bus back to Ann Arbor. Ironically, I saw him later that day after he existed Coleman A. Young Municipal Center; we made eye contact, I waved, Ieagerly smiled but he averted his eyes. I still have that text message I sent him and how I have no response from him. He made certain racially negative remarks about Blacks in Wayne County that was appalling. I certainly felt that he DID NOT respect me as a minority female. He also said that he was going to fight the Widow's elective share towards my father's abusive wife who, the state took my father away from . I do not have a single text message of him indicating that he took steps toward this. I have a college degree, and filing a will with the Probate Court is something I could have easily done without his help. He made all these promises towards what I was looking for-which is why I hired him. He certainly sold me at the consultation meeting. But he never helped with those things at all. Perhaps, most importantly, I DID NOT feel comfortable in his presence over time. As they say, "He gave me the ick."

I contacted Margaret Terrasi to do my divorce back in October 2022 via email, first she didn't even…read moreget the email or respond until Sometime in November 2022, but immediately after she realized my email was in her spam folder, she immediately sent me paperwork to fill out and I paid her in full $1200 but upon doing that things immediately went down hill. She no longer was attentive, no longer answering my phone calls, emails or even text due to questions I had concerning my divorce. It took her almost a month or so to answer me, then long story short n due to not hearing from her, a friend of mine got online n found out my court date information, which she never told me until days b4 the court date. Then I ask her if the divorce will be final on April 23rd , 2023, she proceeds to tell me, all paperwork has been filed it should be good!!! Nope, not even close. We get in front the the court liaison and she proceeds to tell me the judge doesn't grant judgements on the first default, now I know hood and we'll she's dealt with the judge before, so instead of not informing me, I get my hopes up only to be crushed and be told I have to wait another month. My divorce became final May 26, 2023 and I didn't receive my final papers until July 2023!! I attempted to contact her via phone calls, emails, text everything but NOTHING!!! When she finally did contact me, the papers were sitting on someone's desk (how incompetent can you be. You've been paid in full to do a job but it was a job that she totally had no regard for! I felt like because it maybe not enough money or what but I was NOT satisfied with her services at all n would NEVER recommend her to anyone!! PERIOD!!!
