From getting information incorrect on court documents, to being late to my remediation, this firm has not only dropped the ball on numerous occasions, but they market themselves as "top tier" legal firm and charge higher rates than competitors.
They have billed me when I wasn't able to contact their billing person and had to ask her to contact me (unethical tactics), and yes they have corrected it when I brought it to their attention, but the fact that they thought it was fair to charge for it in the first place, is eye opening.
They (Hembree Firm) have failed to send me important court documents that were essential to my defense, and at times, the paralegal completely forgot to pass important notes to my main lawyer. When I brought this to the attention of my lawyer, she said that I should take notes and forward them to her after speaking with the paralegal. So, with this firm, you have to double check what they do and help them connect the dots?
After my divorce was "finalized", my ex sent Hembree Law a child support check for me, and in return, I received a bill from Hembree Law in excess of another $200.00 for filing the check and another employee (names of Hembree employees charging fees are not people I have met or have knowledge of), racked time on the clock "discussing" my child support check with another paralegal. They are taking unnecessary / unrequested actions only to create extra charges.
I have been documenting their mistakes, and inappropriate charges to create a public social media post. When you hire an attorney, especially when your kids, house, and financials are on the line, it is fair expectation to want a firm that will be organized, punctual, ethical, and bill appropriately. I would not recommend Hembree Law Firm.
Allyson Swanson seems to have a great reputation, but when you sign Hembree as your representative, you are then passed on to an assigned lawyer or paralegal, and the experience is not pleasant. The outstanding reviews for Allyson, if you take a close look, are only for her volunteer work at schools etc.
Imagine showing up for your expensive mediation meeting with your lawyer and mediator, the clock strikes 9am, the room TV is on and the mediator is about to go live , and on billable hours, and your lawyer is not even present. (I have photos of me sitting at Hembree Law conference room at my scheduled mediation time, and my lawyer, Kathleen Brown, was not present).

Outstanding job on my behalf by Kathleen Brown, Jim Wilson and Amanda Mangrum. I faced a very aggressive, uncooperative, litigious opposition in my case. Kathleen stood strong against their attempts of intimidation and provided a sound, calm, professional strategic plan for getting the best outcome. She asked me to let her handle it which I did. She is an excellent advocate for men. Jim helped me navigate the early stages and gave crucial advice at key moments. They all gave good input on the law and a clear view of what the outcome could be. That allowed me to make good decisions throughout the process. By knowing the system they focused on what matters and what was realistic. They were disciplined and helped me not fall prey to distraction. Strong in court. Prepared and agile during the hearing. In the end, we won an outcome that was very much in my favor. They are winners and I appreciate them. Thank you.
