I called to ask her a few questions about child support. She was my divorce attorney in 1994, and got me good results. I love her🎉💙🎉💙🎉

25 Oct, 2023 by Carolyn smith

I briefly spoke with Ms. Reed this morning; she was vulgar and unprofessional, hanging up on me. While I understand the client/attorney privilege, I asked her when she could speak with her client—just praying that her behavior with me was an out-of-character moment and not her typical behavior.

I met her over 15 years ago when my aunt who was not blood related passed away . I had custody of her child before she passed . Then after her passing her sister decided she wanted custody of the child and started a petition . The sister was married and in the military , I was divorced with 4 kids of my own , now one more yet I had a good professional job . This lawyer was assigned to me through DHR and when I say she was God sent she definitely was I had no problems . The auntie of my child tried everything she could to get him from me especially since she lived in another state and her and her husband were in the military . I won my case and my child is still with me 16 years later . 5 years later DHR got a complaint about one of my child’s siblings who was now in their care and started an Open case on my child who was never in the system. Well 8 months into me allowing them in my home and visiting they started ordering me to do this and that . And I hired Attorney Velarde with my own money and all she did was write a letter and everything was over just like that . If you need help I definitely recommend this beautiful so here .

So thankful for Molly. She’s punctual and ahead of the game in mobile. Highly recommend.

15 Mar, 2022 by Brandi

There are not enough good words that I can say about Molly. She is caring & compassionate, but also straight forward and tough. She takes time to prepare her clients for every scenario that could possibly happen. She listens to her clients and makes sure she understands every detail of their story to ensure she builds the strongest case possible. She is a fighter in the courtroom and someone that you definitely want on your side. I would give her 10 stars if possible.

Attorney Molly Sullivan was a wonderful experience well prepared attorney on my child support case. I wish I had her now on filing a motion of contempt. Thanks Molly for being a excellent fair attorney. Your price was fair and years later after I lose my job and could not pay you. You consulted and helped me in every way possible. For that I Thank You and God Bless You.

This firm allowed the oppositions firm to run the show. So much was left out of the brutality our family went through. The bulling from his attorney and himself won everything. The ex husband got primary custody of their 7 year old daughter. All the equity in their home. And our rights are very limited while his breaking of rules is allowed since we cannot afford an attorney to fight this through the courts after a $80,000 attorney fees. The sad part is the child lost. The Court let the child down and was sucked in by a narcissist and a Psychopath. You need someone who will work harder than this firm.

Do not hire this woman! She isn’t worth your time or money. Worst lawyer I’ve ever had. She Told me she would do my mediation for her retainer of a whopping 10,000 and then sent me a letter stating she wanted another 20,000 before she would do it and another 35k or more for court!! This woman is all about getting your money. She never helped me get child support or anything else. So she took my 10k and ran! She made my situation worse! I regret ever hiring this firm. Now I’m without a lawyer and can’t afford another one. I’ll be at my mediation alone.

Elaine with Beverlye Brady & Associates was an attorney I was referred to by a trusted source. From our first meeting, Elaine explained every step in great detail. I trusted her from the beginning and there was never a doubt throughout the entire process that she had my best interests at heart. Elaine is very passionate, caring and extremely competent with the legal system. She showed professionalism and fought hard until the end for me. When going through a legal process it's important to have someone fight for you and do it the right way! I am so grateful for her services and will forever be grateful for her time and patience with me throughout my case. Thank you so much, Elaine ❤️

Now that my divorce and custody hearing are over I am changing my review for this worthless Lawyer. About one month before it was time to go to court after dragging out for almost a year he bailed out on me because I sent him too many emails. I would not have had to send 985 emails had he answered even 20 of those. Fortunately, my ex-husband and I settled without him and I am sure that I got more than I would have. Had he stayed with me. Do not be fooled by the fact that he is a member of a Christian lawyers society, because he does not function as a Christian. Basically all of the emails that he answered for the most part were ones where I offered to send more money and that is what he is all about . The final month of my case which was the most important I was instructed by him to no longer send him emails but to filter them through his assistant Brandy. I sent her five emails within 20 days and got no reply from her either. Then I got a message from him, saying that he was withdrawing from my case. I paid him over $6000 for nothing. Always beware of a lawyer who bites his fingernails to the quick and bounces his leg up and down repeatedly. He had the audacity to say that I had mental problems and I believe the two set above things prove that he also has mental problems , just beware. I paid him for subpoenas that were never done and for many other things that were never accomplished. He says he is overworked, but I say he is lazy and money hungry.

Mr. Joey Morris is a fantastic attorney. He is thorough, intelligent, easy going and thoughtful. Representing me in a wrongful death case, I found him to be immensely compassionate, understanding and kind. He is a true fighter and I would highly recommend him!

10 Jul, 2021 by Wesley herrington

Mr. Cary, who represents me, is a great lawyer. He is a very knowledgeable man who goes to bat for his clients. There have been numerous occasions where he has found discrepancies involving my finances and I am grateful for that. He is a lawyer of integrity and he puts his clients first. I would highly recommend him.

I was represented by Johnnie Woodruff. And let me tell you she didn’t disappoint!! She handled business! And explained every step of the way about why she did what she did!! I hope I never have to get another lawyer but if I do! I’d definitely be getting her again! I couldn’t thank you enough for what you did for me❤️

06 Oct, 2023 by Megan goodman

I would never recommend hiring this firm. It was the worst experience I could imagine, in an already difficult time. I hired them for a divorce/custody case and Johnnie barely listened to a word I had to say and was more interested in pulling up Facebook and talking about how good looking my ex husband was. Extremely unprofessional to say the least. They came up with an agreed order with the opposing counsel without ever even SPEAKING to me. An order I did not at all agree with, nonetheless. I was unable to attend our first mediation appointment and contacted them to let them know that I was sick. Instead of rescheduling or coming to any kind of agreement that would be suitable for both parties, they billed me for the entire mediation and set the case for trial. I paid $3000 to have NO HELP or actual legal counsel and would have been better off handling on my own. They refuse to give a refund and have even taken on a client that is a complete conflict of interest directly with my case and are now representing her. She has stated that they have told her things from my case, so if you want attorney client privilege this is obviously not something they take serious at this firm. I am having to hire another attorney, not only to help with my current divorce/custody case but also to go after them for all of the unethical and illegal behavior they have committed. A nightmare to say the least! Don’t do it.

This firm handled my divorce case. We had a major custody dispute and I was impressed how it was handled. We ended up settling the case and I couldn’t say enough good things about this firm.

01 Feb, 2019 by Tim

I hired this lawyer to represent me in a child support modification case. I sent a $2000.00 retainer and was charged for every Email and phone call regardless of context. I traveled from northern Michigan to Alabama to attend the hearing. At about 9pm the night before the hearing I was contacted by a lawyer I had never spoken to before and whom knew nothing about my case. I had to try to explain everything to him as this was a somewhat complicated situation due to one of my adult children having a disability. The hearing was ultimately postponed for a few months and nothing was resolved. I was then told that not only had my retainer been used up but I owed hundreds of dollars. I feel cheated and would advise anyone thinking of hiring them to look elsewhere for someone that actually cares about their clients needs and takes some time to explain things. I had very little communication at all and I was afraid to ask questions due to the ridiculous fees for Emails and phone calls. I would be happy to provide the invoices I received to verify my statements are true.

Christine is an amazing lawyer. She is very organized & professional. Thanks to her, my sister received a "not guilty" verdict & her reputation was restored. Thank you, Chris!

08 Apr, 2022 by Rhonda

Christine was nothing short of phenomenal in my case. I was wrongly accused of a crime that threatened to end all I had worked so hard to achieve. I recognize when an attorney has gone above and beyond in prep and in execution -- and that she had. Throughout the jury trial, she and her team (Madison and Chelsea) were acutely prepared. During the deliberations, Megan was a strong reinforcement. Christine gave selflessly of herself to ensure that I was vindicated. I couldn't have been more pleased in her performance from the inception of the charge, to the negotiations, to the actual trial. Chris, I can't thank you enough for your stellar performance in my case. You are amazing and I am certain of two things: 1) noone could have done a better job and 2) you have earned every bit of the reputation you have acquired for being a high profiled and skilled attorney. Thank you!

He was always available until I paid him a substantial amount for retainer! He did absolutely nothing on my case ! I relived him of his duties almost a month ago have yet to receive a refund ! I’ve called his office numerous times and suddenly he’s never available ! He doesn’t return phone calls

23 Mar, 2023 by Johnathon

I had an 8 year old DUI case come up. I had originally hired another lawyer, who has now passed, which left me with having to hire another. I paid Raynor $2000.00 plus $900 for a copy of the transcript. I was only able to meet with him one time before court and I was not counseled by him so that I would be ready for court. He had his mind made up that I was to be found guilty before we even went to court. He put forth absolutely no effort in defending me. Did not submit all of the solid evidence I had provided him with. Did not attempt to make the jury nor judge aware if the important and unique circumstances in this case.

30 Nov, 2020 by John

Me. Clifton has represented me on several issues over the last several years, both criminal, and civil. He is great! Court was always a very terrifying thing for me, as I would literally shake every time I had to go. However, that got better after my first hearing with Mr. Clifton because it was obvious he was going to stand up and fight for me, and that is something you always want in an attorney, but rarely get. He spent time as a prosecutor, so he has experience from both perspectives. He he knowledgable, caring, and courteous. I would recommend Mr. Clifton to anyone, and I can assure them they are getting the best.

We met with Ms. MacLachlan to identify the legal steps to evict an individual that refused to leave our property. She took the time to explain in detail what was required- she explained our rights and the tenant's. She formulated a notification to the tenant and ensured it was sent and recorded in a timely manner. The notification was effective and we were able to resolve the issue. Ms. MacLachlan was very professional and responded to our request quickly and efficiently. We would not hesitate to use her services in the future.

09 Mar, 2018 by John

I hired this attorney, paid her requested fee in TOTAL at first meeting, $1000 Dollars!. I was told it would be a one-time flat fee and so states our contract. I did not get the professional representation she promised and after pressing for results she proceeded to drop her representation of my case with the court. She never took a written note at any of our several meetings in person in her office. I had to hire another competent attorney who handled my divorce the correct way and in a timely manner! Near the end of our relationship she asked me for more money. I have documentation.

Attorney MacLachlan is my attorney and got my money from divorce settlement from several years ago. She did the necessary paperwork and got payments started for me. She really cares about serving her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone

Although you hire a child advocate lawyer does not mean they will fight for you to have or keep your kids. I believe it was a waste of money to be honest. She could not ask my children any questions, only take what they say to her. If they said anything to her she took as if I coached my children to say what they said. Not happy with the outcome.

18 Oct, 2013 by Amanda

Ms. Harris is an excellent lawyer that is willing to go the extra mile. I am a past and current client and I feel like there is no better hands for my case. She always informs me of any changes, she goes above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, and she is knowledgable of the case inside and out. I rarely have to remind her of facts or previous discussions and she is amazing at trial. She is willing to try things that she has never done and is completely honest when giving legal advice. She is extremely knowledgeable concerning precedent being set and in my opinion is a "precedent setting attorney". By that I mean she will one day be in the law books and referred to in future trials because her cases set precedent. Money will never repay what she is doing for me and my family.

Mr. Lowell was hired to defend my husband. To be fair, it was a serious offense that required an attorney that would be willing to go that extra mile to aggressively defend the charges. That is where Mr. Lowell just falls into the average ranking of attorneys. He was very nice, considerate and flexible with making payments for his fees but, he just wasn't willing to get in there and fight for a better outcome. Maybe I've watched too many television shows but I was hoping to see an attorney who didn't bow down to the local legal system and who would actually fight for a fair sentence. I didn't see that with Mr Lowell. He's very nice, reasonable with his fees, has the knowledge you like to have for your legal defense....just doesn't have the backbone you want to see looking out for you if you are in a serious situation.

I wish I had researched him before I hired him. He didn’t show up for not one of my court days. Instead he sent an inexperienced attorney to represent me to no avail. They couldn’t even serve to plaintiff, but instead asked me to tell the person that they had court. He charges these outrages fees for any form of contact. If you call him, it’s a fee; if you email him, it’s a fee. Highway robbery. If you’re looking for someone to represent you, look elsewhere.

Would not recommend Jacqueline Tomlinson to represent anything. She was assigned to my case as a GAL to represent my two young children and be a neutral party. Which she wasn't. Only would meet with the mother and refused to meet with me. She likes to throw false allegations while in court, with absolutely no proof. Just to try and make a good father look bad. She never wanted kids to speak their voice in court and once allowed she acts like she never heard what they said before. Lies!! I have never seen such unprofessional representation in my life. Stay far away from her and please don't let her represent your kids!

WORST EXPERIENCE WITH AN ATTORNEY I’VE EVER HAD!! Smith & Smith LLP was recommended to me then hired to do a simple deed transfer for a land sale. The deed transfer was created and ready to be picked up by the new owner. A problem was encountered during the process. Instead of investigating the already resolved issue, Smith & Smith LLP refused to look into it and follow through with the job that he had already been paid to do. They decided to simply refund my payment and walk away so I had to start all over with a new attorney. After procuring one, I found out that I was probably lucky that I did. Smith & Smith LLP didn’t offer or provide additional federally required steps to the transfer. My new attorney was surprised. Maybe they backed out because of incompetence and the fact that a simple land transfer is more than they are equipped to handle. I don’t know. Proceed with extreme caution if you’re thinking about using Smith & Smith LLP. Their only redeeming factor was that the receptionist was nice and very helpful. Responding to Mr. Smith’s comment below; when you have been married over 40 years, you work as a team. I actually couldn’t post her comments because they are worse than mine.

I was charged with a felony I didn’t commit and if I lost a trial I was facing life in prison. I have a severe mental illness. I was rude, disrespectful and fired Mr. McGhee. Mr Ghee said he would withdraw from my case if that was my wish. Mr. McGhee understood my illness and kindly asked me to come to court because he had a plea agreement for a class C misdemeanor with no jail time or active probation. Thank you and I hope you except my apologies. At no time did Mr. McGhee or his staff say anything negative. This law firm is very polite. Just because you don’t see your attorney or talk to them on a regular basis doesn’t mean your attorney is not working. Thank you again! I would highly recommend Mr. McGhee to friends, family and would hire him if I was ever charged with a crime. Great Attorney! Thank you. I have a great life with a wife and kids.

He is very rude and abrasive. He demeans women. He is quick to insult. Seems to prey on young trashy women

This is a useless attorney. He will not fight for you, he only wants to make his little deals to protect his Christian persona. Absolutely worthless of you want to fight a case. He is soft!!!

I was told by several people that I needed to hire Bryan for my divorce case. I know why now! As soon as he got in my case, my ex-husband started backing down. All the threats stopped and we were able to get my case over very quickly. I have no doubt it was because of Bryan's great reputation of being the best divorce lawyer in town!! I am out of a bad marriage in a great way! Recommend him to anyone who wants the best!

Bryan comes Highly recommended from other attorneys that i interviewed before i made my choice. However I have been nothing but disappointed from his lack of professionalism and performance. His handling of my divorce has been nothing short of his practice laughing all the way to the bank. He talks a big talk but cowers to other attorneys making himself look weak and nonconfrontational. The review from Feb 27 2015 nails it! You get little or no response from phone calls and emails but beware you will be billed relentlessly for them! I am also very suspicious of the many positive reviews on AVVO for Bryan. He obviously spends time answering questions on here and it should be of concern that several positive reviews happen on the same day he has posted legal help. How convenient. If i could give less than 1 star I would.

I called and a lady answered the phone. Did not identify herself. I was looking specifically for a female attorney to replace my current male attorney. I stated that I was looking to speak to Mrs. Isaak in consideration of retaining her services. However, I was told that she was not taking on new clients. The lady on the phone then asked what county I was in and I told her Houston County, Alabama. She told me that it would be the Enterprise office and that Mrs. Isaak doesn't work out of that office anyway. She then said that they had two other attorneys I could call and gave me the names of a Mr. Woodburn and Mr. Dockens. When I elected to pass, but thanked her anyway, she decided that hanging up on me was the best route to go. Incredibly unimpressive and incredibly unprofessional. If this is any indication of how they represent, I would run away from this firm!
