Mr. Fernambucq and Mr. Dunn, My name is Tabitha Edwards and I am coming with concerns of events that have recently happened with my previous Lawyer Caleb Faulkner who works at your firm concerning a case that I am in. I was originally referred to Mr. Dunn by Jim Holliman, who has been a dear patient and friend since 2012. When I called to schedule with you, Mr. Dunn, Caleb happened to be available that day and my case was emergent so that is why I hired him. When I first hired Caleb Faulkner at the beginning of August I handed over all evidence that I had meticulously collected. Included in this evidence was a physical recorder that contained 5 separate files of recordings of sensitive matter directly involving my case. These recordings could have potentially been additional shields for me in court. Prior to my hearing, my previous lawyer Caleb Faulkner asked me to meet him at your office at Boyd, Fernambucq & Dunn, P.C. while there, Caleb stated "Let me go get you're recorder, my assistant has had it listening to it and taking notes for me". Caleb then handed me the recorder that was enclosed in a zip lock bag. Caleb then stated "I want you to take this with you to court, I don't want it in my possession because I don't want to mess it up". Immediately in front of Caleb I took out the recorder and turned it on to find all 5 files on my recorder had been deleted. I immediately informed Caleb that the recorder was blank and all files were missing. Caleb put his hands in the air and stated " I have not touched that recorder once since it was delivered it was not me, my assistant is the only one who has had it because she was listening to it for me and taking notes". This was equally concerning because in the earlier hours before I arrived Caleb stated that I have more evidence concerning my case instead of the recordings - this leads me to believe I was being lied to because how would Caleb know if he has not taken the time to listen to them? Later in the week when I went to receive my mail, the assistant Kaylee Franks was at the office. I informed her about my recordings and how each file was separately deleted. I explained that there is not a delete button on this recorder and each file has to be deleted one by one. Kaylee stated that she only listened to my recordings on August 12th and she can 100 percent attest that she did not delete any files and after listening she turned the recorder off and has not used or listened to it since August 12th. Kaylee seemed flushed and in obvious distress. I told her not to worry, I am only asking because I am concerned that my evidence had been destroyed and I did not understand how it had happened and I wanted to let her know what Caleb had told me that she was the only person that has had it in her possession. I have since retained a new attorney. I informed my new attorney what happened. She informed me that I need to report this immediately to the Alabama Bar and things seem questionable and if not careless with my evidence and property at the least. When I emailed Caleb informing him that I no longer require his services and would like my retainer fee back, he stated that he has used up my trust and there is no money back he can give. I am not currently worried about receiving my retainer fee back as I am concerned about why these things have happened to me. My property and evidence was destroyed and I am asking respectfully for someone to look into this incident and please help. Rather this happened on accident, it happened. I do not want this to happen to anyone else. I have tried to email you both separately, but I was nervous to be frank that it might get erased if I went through your website. This review is not reflective upon you or Mr. Fernambucq, but at this point I am fighting for the possible outcome of my life and I am trying to keep myself safe. Sincerely, Tabitha Edwards

My Boyd is without doubt the worst trial attorney I have ever met. He defines the term " let's settle this case". He does not follow requests that his client wants, but just wants to get off after he has charged you enough to fill his pockets. The other two attorneys are very professional. Don't ever trust Boyds' word, he will not keep it! He absolutely blew a case with me (thus the negativity), which has literally put me on the road to homelessness. I could not make this up. Dr. J.

Outstanding!

Caleb Faulkner is a highly meticulous and detail-oriented attorney who always comes prepared to provide exceptional representation. His honesty and dedication have been invaluable throughout my particularly stressful case. His composure and unwavering support have truly impressed me, and I am grateful for the positive outcome he helped me achieve. I highly recommend Caleb for any legal matters related to Family Law.

I relocated to Alabama from Florida 8 years ago with 3 minor children and a complex post-divorce case that followed me. Through the years, Attorney Fernambucq has assisted me on several issues providing most excellent and correct counsel. Most recently, he obtained an expeditious and extremely satisfactory result and conclusion to my case that none of my Florida attorneys were able to accomplish in the 13 years previous to my retaining Rick Fernambucq.

Rick Fernambucq is no joke. Hardcore, the real deal. Not cheap but worth every penny. Did he write the book....?

I cannot say enough about Mr. Charles Dunn. He took on an appeal for me that most would not even consider. He took the time to really learn my case, prepare me for all outcomes, and ultimately get me exactly what I needed. I would recommend him a million times over. Remember, not all heroes wear capes!

Before I found Rick Fernambucq, I had experienced a difficult, long, miserable divorce and had two previous lawyers. One short term that did zero work in five months but charged grossly and the second that, despite an impressive, nice interview, went after me to scare me more than anything else he did and left me with the sloppiest divorce. He yelled and talked horribly to me, gauged me financially and did not protect me. The deeper you are in financially the harder it is to start over with another attorney. Pick right the first time. I have never been so scared in my life until I had attorneys' I realized were out to gain off me more than anything else. There is so much you realize you can't control. When a friend once told me, "The person you have to fear the most is your own attorney, I knew what she meant." Be careful who you choose!! Then good people led me to Rick Fernambucq. I give my absolute recommendation of this firm. After being through what I have been through, you learn how hard it is to find a firm and attorney you trust and know is a good human being with honor and integrity. Through a string of retired, very respected lawyers, I was told, the only person who could do the job that needed to be done was Rick Fernambucq. I came to him traumatized and struggling and it was a long road to finish and correct what had been done to me in my divorce and the ongoing attack I was under. Not only did he make me feel like mine and my kid's lives mattered, and he would stand by me, but he stood up for me like I have never seen anyone stand up for me in my life to someone everyone else had been afraid of. He paid careful attention, he listened, and helped secure what I had fought so hard for trying to be treated somewhat fair in my divorce. He is the greatest, most powerful asset you can have by your side. I never doubted a single charge on my account, which is huge. I cannot express enough, the honor and respect I have for him and his work. It was worth every penny to experience the protection I felt under his watch. I have never seen anything so amazing as his defense in court. He saved me and gave me a future and the ability to care for my three kids who are thriving today. When I was lost and thought I was defeated, he picked me up and said no, this is not how my story would end. He actually called me back that very first day personally to talk to me after I left him a message which is very rare... if not unheard of. Right then, I knew he was there for my protection. I am eternally grateful to you and your staff and the kindness and strength you gave me as you walked me through the worst time of my life. Me and my kids will never forget it.

Caleb was such a blessing during this time! He was a voice of reason and encouraged me to make the best decisions for both me and my son. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney and a better outcome in our settlement.

Rick did a terrific job handling my divorce. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a first rate divorce attorney.

Divorce is a painful, complicated process. I worked with both Rick Fernambucq and Charles Dunn. Excellent, intelligent, and kind professionals. The paralegals may even be better! I will always be grateful for this firm!
