Warning: Be very careful. I hired Mrs. Blackledge to assist me and my family, but the experience…read morequickly became a nightmare. She and her remote paralegal acted as though the opposing party had a strong case against me, causing significant stress. Her indifferent attitude toward my concerns and lack of responsiveness made matters worse. After consulting other attorneys, two of her colleagues confirmed there was no strong case and advised me to seek new representation if she continued to ignore my concerns. When her behavior did not improve, I politely asked her to withdraw and hired a new attorney. She left me in a difficult position, forcing me to find new counsel just before the final hearing, after charging well over $20,000. Fortunately, my new attorney quickly identified her discrepancies, took my concerns seriously, and won the case, ensuring my children's safety. I would never recommend Mrs. Blackledge, as she is unfair and selective in how she treats clients. Even my new attorney agreed she ignored critical issues, which he successfully presented in court. Her services are overpriced and a complete waste of time. She acts as if she cares, but in reality, she is neglecting your case and gaslighting you, making you believe that success is unattainable. While she was still my attorney, I consulted with multiple attorneys. They examined the court dockets and informed me that the opposing party was abusing me through the court system by filing numerous frivolous motions. These attorneys were shocked and disappointed that Mrs. Blackledge wasn't advocating for me and my children and advised me to dismiss her, which I did. She told me to call her if I had any concerns, but she never responded to any of the concerns I presented to her. She lacks empathy and shows no genuine concern for children, which is very problematic, especially if she's handling family law cases. Unfortunately, she's okay with treating her clients unfairly by working hard for some, while intentionally neglecting others. This is unethical and unjust behavior. I'm grateful I trusted my instincts to consult with different attorneys and that I found a different attorney to work my case. It turned out to be the best decision for my children's safety. I do not recommend Mrs. Blackledge to anyone, especially if children are involved.

I called Michles and Booth, because of the ad I heard on the radio about Brian Carter. I thought my issues were so small I never thought Mr. Carter, would talk to me, or that I actually needed a lawyer. But I was wrong. Mr. Carter did sit down with me and talk with about the issues I was having at work, and how I was feeling worried, scared, and frighten about the situation of filing this work comp claim. I was always able to call Mr. Carter, and talk with him, or leave him a message and he would call me back. Or I had the option to talk with his assistant Twanda. She is AMESOME!! She listens, asks questions, talks to you as if you are the most important part of her day. We texted, emailed, and talked on the phone. If need be, she would have Mr. Carter call me back. Twanda, is so easy to talk with and share my fears with. Sarida, came in on my case at the end or closing of my case. She was a great help! Sometimes the things we were talking about went so fast at the end. I would have to say ohh hold on, can you repeat that or explain that to me again. I could just see the smile on her face, even though we were on the phone. I never knew there would be so many different things I would have to do to close my case. and Sarida, is kindhearted and patient in explaining things and I enjoyed working with her as well. Thank you Michles and Booth, for having such great people working for you!

My former wife was requesting to move to Alaska with our child and her military husband. Mr. Holman was extremely professional, calm, and thorough. He was not only able to keep the custody 50/50, as I was seeking, but ultimately, through his work, it was discovered the military orders my former wife had filed the relocation with had been canceled months before she filed the relocation, meaning she had filed with stale and invalid documents!! He was always available to ease my concerns, answer my questions, and was great in the final hearing. I will say it did cost me $15000 but it was honestly worth every penny because my child is more than worth it. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking a professional, cool as ice, and thorough attorney.
