Our daughter ought to have researched your firm on State Bar of Texas to see that there was a Public Reprimand against Pinkerton instead of relying on what I believe are some questionable Google reviews.
However, our daughter chose your firm and was not happy about poor communication and will now choose another firm for representation.
kim, Jody & the rest of the staff are very very helpful
This is my life and my child's life that they carelessly dismissed from their legal responsibility.
Thank you Kim and Joann !!
Kimberly Pinkerton was my lawyer for a year and after the 1st court appearance I should have changed lawyers. I was trying to get a divorce from a man that had been charged and convicted of Dometic Violence. She NEVER showed any empathy, she never was prepared before we went into the courtroom and when we got there she basically tried to "WING IT" or befriend the other lawyers to see what questions they were going to ask so she would know what direction she should go. She told the lawyer information I told her in confidence and the lawyer REPEATED what she said!
During the trial for the restraining order, she did such a POOR job in asking questions that the judge recalled my ex-husband to the stand and asked him questions that Kimberly should have asked! I gave her documents that she LOST and I then had to resend them to her or provide them to her when we were in court... During the pre-final decree hearing my husband was told to pay me 1000.00 per month and provide the documents for his retirement. The FINALIZATION of the divorce (the judge signs the decree) was a month and half later and during that time my ex NEVER paid me anything and NEVER provided Kim with the retirement documents. I called every week asking her had his lawyer provided the information and she would say, "No, but my assistant sent him an email." I got upset with her answer and she advised that she can't "make" someone give her something and I said, "Yes, you can, that's why we have courts!" I felt she was very passive and her knowledge regarding divorces was limited. I'm not a lawyer, that's why I hired one, but during this ordeal I had to read, call others and even called a hotline provided by my job that answers legal questions and then provide her with the information!
Even though I went through all that I still wouldn't have been upset with her or lose every ounce of respect for her if she had showed up for the signing of the decree and inform the judge that the orders that had previuosly been ordered were not being upheld. She knew a month in advance the date and time that the opposing lawyer would have the judge sign the decree and she didn't show up or notify the courts that the opposing council did not provide the requested documents. To add insult to injury when I called her out on it she became defensive and advised me that if I wanted her to go after my ex-husband, I'd have to pay her MORE money to file the needed documents. I felt if she had did her job from the beginning, I wouldn't be paying again! I have ALL email communication, I'd NEVER lie or try to tarnish someone's character, but I am paying another lawyer to do the job I paid her to do and I think its unfair. I don't want anyone else to go through what I went through. I wish her the best, but if you are facing a DIFFICULT divorce SHE IS NOT the lawyer for you!
Wright away she jumped into action, I must admit I was preaty impress, she placed phone calles on my behalf an took charge in attempt to help me with my Real estate legal issue.
She was on top of every thing and was able to keep me inform as things begain to unfould via text, email and phone.
I will Highly recommend Ms Pinkerton to anyone that's in need of a vert good Attornet.
