I recently retained attorney Kimberly Copeland to represent my son in a legal matter And who was in jail at that time with some very serious charges.
The reason I considered her in the first place was because we are related (cousin).
One of my cousins who lives in the same city as attorney copeland had used her services for a legal matter involving her daughter. She spoke highly of Kim And informed my mother and to meet with and see if she would take the case. I decided to meet her and hopefully retain her.
My daughter-in-law contacted her by phone first for me because I live in Alabama and could not call her at that time. She informed her at that time it would cost us 10k and needed 5k upfront to retain her.
I was skeptical about retaining her because I thought that was high for a family member, but I know nothing is free.
before meeting with her face-to-face I talked with her over the phone for about 20 minutes and was put at ease because she told me about cases she had handled with a family member and we talked about our family and how we were related and all.
this all took place in the beginning of June 2014. On June 13, I arranged to travel 4 hours to Meet her to discuss the case and see if I wanted to retain her and pay her the 5k. We met for about an hour. The cousin who recommended her was there as well as my mother.
I explained my son's case to her informimg her that he was currently on probation. She asked if it was for a felony and I explained that it was for a misdemeanor.
Her Response to me was "that's nothing" which i understood this to mean that she could handle all the charges pending against my son. Still reluctant because of her personslity was a little too cool for Me and not forth coming with how this all work being my first time dealing with an attorney which I informed her. I had to ask her what was next after we had paid her 4,300 and made arrangements to pay for the other 700 on Friday which I believe was June 20. We sign an agreement but nothing explained to me about what to expect from her. No mention of things she did not do On this initial visit which I thought was the time to tell me so I get some one else if needed. I asked when are u visiting my so who was in jail in Valdosta. She said sometime next week. Which she visited him on Sunday June 15.
After our initial visit and her one visit to my son who explained all his charging informing her Of the probation as we'll.
A week or so goes by no word from her so I decided to call see what was going on with npmy son's case my first attempt was I left a message with no return call.
I called again and spoke with Lauren who I found out was working on the case as the paralegal, and she informed me could assist me. I expressed my frustration that we were not being communicated with and Lauren expressed to me if I let mrs copeland do her job and we do our job everything would be ok
To shorten this. We were hardly communicated with she did not visit my son again she arraneed 2 court cases the first a disaster. I will cont tomorrow
