We hired this attorney for child custody and set my fee as 1500 dollars.. I paid 900 hundred dollars down and would pay out the other 600 before court... I was told that we had our first court apperance months later in another county... After waiting till the end of all the people the judge called for Trials, Mrs Watson Sexton and I was told by the courts that they had mailed a letter to her office prior to this court date that my custody trial had been moved back to a later date!! Ugh so this was a waisted trip that I wish my attorney would of checked before this date!! I'm not sure if it was not opening the letter at her office, but anyhow the courts said they sent her office a letter.
Fortunately for me and my boys; i talked with my boys mother and she agreed that the boys were better off in my custody and I had her sign over full custody of my boys! No trial or custody battle needed!! Praise Jesus!! However, Mrs Watson Sexton had her office type up the custody papers and I picked them up a couple days later at her office! I had the boys mother sign the papers and I had them notorized.
My attorney told me that she was satisfied with payment and I owed nothing more!! Fair enough!
This is where it gets interesting. After a couple months , we were contacted by her office that I owed $2000.00. Dollars and they wanted payment!!
What??? How??? With the 900 I paid down and was told by attorney herself - payment satisfied?
My wife contacted her and her office told her that they were my Facebook friends, and since we recently bought a pricey new home and showing it off on facebook that I could pay!!! What?
My wife paid 2 thousand to her office at that time to end this circus!
Basically, we paid three thousand dollars for paper work to be written and filed for custody that I had settled without need for a trial!!! Wow!
Very unproffesional.
