I contracted Mrs Thomas services back in 2020-2021 for a Divorce, as a single mother with two children. I was drawn to her,as she appeared to have experience in the area that I need. My husband at the time,was on the run,had felonies,and an EVO, and was not able to contest the divorce. My experience with Mrs Thomas was overall not a good one. I debated on whether or not to review her services at the time,because I felt maybe this was to be expected of the people in her profession,as my only other experience was with a public defender,appointed by the state (for the EVO, & child support). I've had the experience of another attorney in the past 2 years,and it has been far different,which negates my previous views of the profession. My public defender experience was very positive,quick,and got the resolution desired,and i didnt have to pay for the service. The services i did pay for from Mrs Thomas, I didn't feel adequately supported, nor defended by her. My divorce ran on for 2 years,being uncontested (so no other person fighting me),only the judge. The judges changed back and forth,as well as misplaced all of our paperwork several times,and would delay proceedings due to this,and my attorney did little to speak up during these times. I felt railroaded by the judges incompetence and disorganization,and my attorney did little to hold them accountable. Why would she,if she were paid the longer it goes on,for her time? The communication style was also very lax, therefore had to reach out to her numerous times, just to find out the status of my case. Each time i had to ask , i was charged a fee,which would've been unnecessary if the communications were preemptive. Furthermore, my attorney missed a court date (no call/no show) ,which i had to take off work for,unpaid, just to have to reschedule ,and take off more unpaid work. She tried to remedy the situation with a giftcard,however it doesnt remotely equate to the pay i missed,nor was it credited back to my invoice. Providing my experience to let others be aware,there are indeed better professionals,and to not settle.
