On March 6, 2018 I consulted with Attorney Katonga Wright to appeal a judgment. I spent about an hour providing complete and factual details in reference to my case. It is complex so I wanted to give her all of the information which was a large file that she copied. Ms. Wright asked many questions and took notes as I spoke. She offered sympathy at the fact that I had gone through all of this when I had not done anything wrong. She stated that I was not properly served and the amount the defendant took me back to court for was incorrect. She said that if one thing was wrong with the judgment that I was not present for, it rendered everything wrong and was a cause for an appeal. She explained that she used to work in Magistrate court and was confident that this could be resolved in my favor. On March 12, 2018 I emailed Ms. Wright confirming the services that she would provide for me. On March 13, 2018 she said she would review what was necessary and be in contact with me. On April 20, 2018 I asked for a full refund because she held my case beyond the 30-day appeal period. Had she informed me in a timely manner I could have sought legal counsel with another attorney. As of today I have contacted three other attorneys but have been unsuccessful in getting anyone to take my case. I am devastated that she held my case for so long before letting me know that she was not going to represent me. She knew I was declined for a home loan because this judgment is on my record. To date I have not been able to purchase a home. This has been a nightmare and instead of helping resolve the issue she made things worse when I did not think it was possible. Only after filing a grievance with the Georgia State Bar did I find out that she charged $500 for finding out information I gave her at our initial consultation. Her lack of response to my several (phone and email) attempts to communicate with her cost me money and time.
