But the amount of time it would require was overwhelming, Eggleston Shredding & Document Center came to the rescue. The timing has to be quick. Drop Off service is only available from 9 - 2 M-F. My visiting son had to work from home on Friday. He would be leaving on Sunday. So I worked till midnight going through the bags to separate the trash from the shredding items so he could get them in the vehicle ready to leave early the next morning. The Shredding & Documents Center is located on N Military Highway. The building doesn't face Military Highway but it's a very visible presence. There is a large drive through at the front of the building with numerous trash cans, similar to our city recycling bins, sitting out front. Walk into a very large lobby with a cashier style glass covered area with a friendly employee behind. She instructed us to take a bin, empty our bags and containers into it, then bring the container inside to pay. If I had known the size of the bin I could have saved the time in separating junk mail. The bin could handle a huge amount of documents. The cost, $45 per bin, was unbelievable. What a tremendous amount of time was saved for such a small cost. The employee explained that the bin would be taken immediately back & dumped into the shredder. A human hand would never touch my documents. Even better, they recycle the shredded paper. She provided me with a Certificate of Destruction & a receipt. We were then on our way. Eggleston is so much more than a source for shredding. They employ individuals with disabilities & provide them the chance to learn skills & gain confidence in their abilities and independence. Improving their quality of life through multiple programs is to be applauded. Among the services they provide to 1,500 individuals at 22 locations are rehabilitation services such as Day Support, Residential Support, Brain Injury Services, Veterans Programs & Community Employment. Business Services include Document Shredding & conversion of paper to digital. They do Commercial Landscaping, prepare donated vehicles for auction, and a number of additional services. A retail Garden Center & Farmers Market is also operated. Their work with the federal government includes commercial laundry, food service, mail room & custodial. What a wonderful mission this non profit begun in 1955 has for the people who need help in becoming employable. Eggleston was a great source for bulk shredding for me. But even better, the shredding of my documents provided learning skills to those who need it the most.

I rate Mr. Morrison with the highest rating and found him to be the kind of lawyer you hope you have representing you. Outstanding work on my case and outstanding results. Mr. Morrison spent hours with me preparing my case and after presenting it to the opposing lawyers, he got a great award of compensation for me. He was always very professional, and quickly responded to my phone calls and emails. He kept me updated on the developments in my case and took the time to answer all my questions. He always made me feel like my case was the most important case he had, although I know he has many clients. If you want an attorney who will be dedicated to your objectives, look no further than Mr. Morrison. RID: 169381 read more

The attorney missed my discovery deadline, costing me thousands of dollars in child support payments, despite that I asked him about it 4 times in a month and half. The attorney ignored my emails! I brought this to Kristi Wooten's attention. I asked her multiple times why this happened. She refused to answer me! Then my attorney quit and Wooten gave me only three days notice to decide if I wanted to stay with their firm or not. I was told by my attorney that if my temporary Custody Order wasn't working out I could take my case to trial. It wasn't, as my children were still being abused. When I told Mr. Fanney to take a stand, he laughed in my face! It took Kristi Wooten 3 weeks to respond to my concerns and then she promptly advised that if I wanted to take this to trial, they would quit. She only gave me a day and a half to decide despite that she took weeks to respond to me! They would not honor their word! In Kristi Wooten's "justification" for not honoring their word, she cited "facts" of my case as her reasoning. She got the facts wrong! She was citing things that never even happened in my case! Then they failed to give me my entire file upon request. I emailed the paralegal to point out that a letter I paid thousands of dollars for the attorney to write to the GAL, with exhibits, was missing. She then emailed me the letter with only 6 of the exhibits! There were 21! The paralegal then seemed confused when I asked for the rest of the file. Finally, after a back-and-forth, I received all of the exhibits I paid for. They made sure they took their money for "representing" me at the child support hearing that they were completely unprepared for though. Kristi Wooten will charge for every last minute thing she does on the file, even if it is incorrect. They are all about the money. Then they blame their clients when their clients get fed up with their incompetence. Go somewhere else that actually cares. Please.

To be very clear, this review is my opinion and my experience only. Thankfully, I did not retain him to represent me in a divorce. Initially, I sat and began explaining why I was there. The minute I called my spouse "my spouse," he took on a totally different demeanor than during our cordial introduction. He went as far as to tell me in no uncertain terms how off-put he was that I referred to my "spouse" that way because it was cold and distant (this is not verbatim because it has been over a few years). He did not take the time to understand what would cause a person to use that verbiage about the person she was married to, and our appointment quickly ended. Had Mr. Plumlee taken the time to find out that my ex was a serial philanderer, a textbook narcissist, a serial family deserter, a verbal abuser, an absent father and husband, a nasty alcoholic, and a scammer, I would like to think that he would have responded differently. What put my ex above the rest is the fact that when my oldest daughter was diagnosed with cancer, he decided it would be a good time to jump ship (shut our business down and leave my daughter with no health coverage [she was an employee]) and move on with his life. However, Mr. Plumlee had no interest in discussing the case further, so we never got to the meat of the matter. I made sure after that encounter that I never recommended him as an attorney to who I would give my valuable time and money.

Beth took her time answering all of my questions and reviewing my paperwork, she patiently and honestly answered all the questions I had and spent time with me. She didn't rush me and was reassuring. I was able to have my legal paperwork notarized and easily paid the $150 consult fee. I wouldn't hesitate at all to retain her as my attorney full-time if needed after this initial visit and first impression. Her office is located just one street from the oceanfront on 34th street and has plenty of parking. It's on the third floor of a neat brick building and is classy and well-kept inside a small but tidy space. We sat in their conference room which has a table for four and some coffee and drinks inside.
