This is the worst experience I have ever had. I would not have thought up "Sleeze bag" lawyer as Matt J. put it but it is true. They charge you for everything, decide to use only the information they want to use and repeatedly ask you for that information making you have more charges. Please, don't ask them to do anything because it is not going to happen and do not expect the dollar number they quote you to be anywhere near to be what they said. I used Mr. Tisdale three times. I think he honestly has one good employee. Every one else there is going to use and abuse you including him. Our first case was for my social security, which was straight forward. I had applied and been denied and put everything together for the appeal. They sent the packets in and I got approved. Mr. Tisdale did not tell me that I was able to get anything for the children on the case and my long term disability took a bite out of my butt for it. The second case was a nightmare. My daughter stared having problems so my ex wife thought she was going to readjust my time. My daughter was 16 about to turn 17. We fought hard for 1 year. I was paying 500 dollars a month, now i know that may not be a lot to some of you but to me that hurt the bank. The law assistant Ebony didn't know the law if it bite her in the butt. She would tell me one thing one week and then something the next. It was that way every week. We were quoted 10,000 bucks. We paid at least 5000 more than that. They nickeled and dimed us for everything. They had this site they were supposed that we were supposed to log into to email and get our bills. I never got access. So I had to call in each month, and every but stood around for 30 minutes asking when I didn't go to the site every month. Then I got charged for it. Then I got charged for them to email it to me. He eventually credited me some money supposedly but couldn't tell me where it came from or what it was for. He took two month long breaks during the case and was unreachable. I sent him three emails begging for help and nothing. Keep in mind during this time they were dicking me around my sister that was 39 died from an overdose and my grandma passed away. When we went to Mediation the first time my ex-wife showed up with the mediator and we were not there. I was never told and he said he never had the email. I thought it was ex-wife playing games. When we had the actual mediation he scheduled court right at the 4 hour mark so he had to leave so if it went over I dont know what would have happened and left and I had to finish by myself. I get being busy but we were not treated as any part of a priority. Finally we get to the end and we agree on mediation. This is June of 2024. We should be close to done right. Nope. There Lawyer goes on vacation for a month. Everything stalls. Nothing happens, and I am getting charges, and I mean thousands of dollars as I am waiting to find for the final papers and they get to me and they are WRONG!!!!! When I tell they are wrong the lawyers aid tells me there is nothing they can do because we agreed in mediation even know what was changed was not even talked about. This is September. It takes to December, I am finally pissed, my wife is pissed. I threaten to put a stop payment if things don't get straight. This is when we get the credit though it makes no difference. We get the second set of papers, still wrong. He sends me the wrong custody that is not even the original custody that we had in the first place and is defiantly is not what is supposed to be and I get charged 500 bucks an hour. Finally we get everything squared away because I get the papers from ex wife from her lawyer and sign it and send it to him. They send it back for me to look at it. ITS WRONG AGAIN! Jesus help me. It takes 2 more times to get it right. Then we are waiting for the pay agreement that Ebony tells me she has and the lawyer tells me they don't. They charge me 8 times for that. When it is finally over then send me a letter they charged me 250 dollars to draft saying they were hoped I was happy with their service. The third case my wife hit a cow. It was bad. 20,000 dollars in damage to her traverse. she had major bruising and nerve damage and she will never recover completely. If she had hit head on she would have died. Tisdale took the case. The wife that owned the cow, her husband had been a judge or sheriff or something. We filed with USAA and they did everything they could to the point that they told me I needed to get a lawyer and they got their own. Tisdale picked up the case. You only have 2 years to do anything. He waited 1 year 9 months or 10 months. Then he sent her a letter with the cost of what everything was. She sent the letter back. Then got a lawyer. Then sent it to the lawyer, and the lawyer said they thought they could do something. Then Tisdale sent a letter saying he was no longer our lawyer. A month before the time ran out. A week before my sister passed away. read more

I swear to God, I couldn't dream up this excuse. I was shocked, still shocked First of all, I need to make it known that I did not hire this guy, and yes, WHEN HE SHOWED UP A WEEK AFTER THE SCHEDULED COURT DATE, he won for his client. It should also be known that it was a straight forward family case, which is pretty much always stacked against the man. It was the kind of case that is an easy win for any attorney. We were just hoping for the best. So anyway, THIS is the reason I would advise EVERYONE against hiring him. Our case was the first one on the docket. After waiting for half an hour for him to show up, the JUDGE asked his clerk to call him. Joshua Tisdale said he didn't have the hearing on his schedule. He told the clerk he was on his way. The clerk came back saying he wanted to reschedule. We said no. After he just said he was on his way to the court house, he called back to say he couldn't be there until late in the day. We said that was fine, we'd wait. As if it's not bad enough that a PROFESSIONAL apparently forgot a COURT DATE, he called the clerk back again and said he couldn't make it at all. And this is what I just can't believe.......The part I don't think anyone could possibly dream up. The most ridiculous excuse that a professional would give for missing a court date. The clerk told us, and I quote, "He has an appointment with his mother." I swear to God that's the excuse he gave for not showing up. Seriously. He actually said that. What kind of man who's been practicing law for SEVEN YEARS wastes: 1_ His own clients time, not mention their money? 2_ The judges time? 3_ The time of his professional peers in the law community? His mother? Seriously? An attorney can't think of a better excuse? At the very least, he should have said he was sick, or a family emergency, or SOMETHING other than an appointment with mom. He had some good reviews a couple of years ago, but something has obviously happened. I saw a review of his services on another site by someone who DID hire him recently. They also said he didn't show up for a court date for his OWN CLIENT! If he was my attorney, I wouldn't give a damn about his mother. If I pay someone good money to represent me in court and they don't show up, they better be dead! Steer clear of this guy. read more
