Barbara A Fuller Law Office

I used Barbara for a difficult child custody case. When it came to work being done outside of court she and her team were great. Inside the court room, she always seemed unprepared like she was winging it. This was my first time having to use a lawyer for anything so I was unfamiliar with how things worked. The communication in regards to my case was extremely lacking. I would just be in limbo, but I assumed she was just working on my case and would reach out when need be. Prior to my trial I had no prep. When I told her I’ve never been to court before she assured me I would be fine and that I wouldn’t need prep. She sent the questions she planned to ask in court to me 2 hours prior to court. I became extremely overwhelmed because I had no clue where she was going with my case and now no time to really ask. When I called my witnesses the day of the court date, one said that she was only contacted one time about the trial and never heard from Barbara again the second one said she received her first call the day prior to the trial. That was the moment I knew my case was going down hill. On the court date, Barbara just seemed like she wasn’t all there. She seemed tired and her suit was wrinkled. I was extremely ill prepared which was embarrassing for me because I prep for things. I’m not upset that I lost although I do believe there would have been a fighting chance if my team was prepared, I’m just disappointed with the service received. I have a second trial to just finalize visitation and decided to switch attorneys. I didn’t want to risk losing any more than I already had because of a lawyer that was timid in court.
