Hello, Please read as this may save you and your family. No Stars!
I hired Mrs. Nelson for my uncontested divorce case in September 2023. Mrs. Nelson made mistakes including putting the incorrect plaintiff's name on the uncontested form, and sent it to my ex-husband and his lawyer. When my ex husband's lawyer sent the report back stating that they wanted to Contest the divorce in Dec 2023, Mrs. Nelson did not update me accordingly. I had to call the court house directly for the status. She advised that she did not have time to review what the Plaintiff's response was and she was going on vacation until after the New Year.
After being displeased with her work ethic/ performance, and nonchalant attitude I hired a new attorney for the Contested part of my divorce. I was no longer within a legal contract with Mrs. Nelson. We only had a contract for the Uncontested portion which was paid up front with a receipt, and I was provided a copy of the contractual agreement.
When I hired another attorney for the Contested divorce Mrs. Nelson advised that I owed her money for work that I did not authorize her to do in regards to the Contested divorce. I did not sign a contract with her, nor did I put any money in the retainer for the contested divorce. When I did some research on my end and found out that she billed me incorrectly, I emailed Mrs. Nelson and advised her of the discrepancy in billing.
I also advised her that I stopped payment on the check, and advised if she thought I did this in error to please let me know and send me a copy of the signed contract. I did not defraud Mrs. Nelson, and had no ill intentions. I gave her a courtesy update because I do not cheat people. I gave her an opportunity to provide evidence, and she did not.

Fast forward to July 2024- I had to go to court because Mrs. Nelson filed CRIMINAL Charges against me saying that I wrote a bad check. I had money in my account and did not owe Mrs. Nelson. I am a law abiding citizen and have a cleared record.
I had to get a criminal defense lawyer to support my case. Presently not only am I dealing with a divorce, I am also dealing with false accusations towards me that could have landed me up to 1 year in jail. I have two kids that are dependent on me, a replicable reputation, and I am a cleared professional.
I am so disappointed in how she handled things. Clearly she could see how much the divorce hurt me, and now these incorrect allegations and charges.
***God heard my prayers and the District Attorney (DA) threw the case out due to lack of evidence on her part, and not having a contractual agreement ***
Here's the kicker... Mrs. Nelson was even arguing with the DA that was supporting her case, in court, after the trial because she was upset with the verdict. Please do your research!
