Shockley & Ransom

Candace Shockley just took my money. I paid her a $2500 retainer fee and the cost of her poor services added up quickly. The one thing that added up was the phone calls. Every phone call she made for me, she charged me $300. By the way I don't know what those phone calls were for. I was awarded custody of the house I shared with my husband. He broke into the house. I had a security camera that showed him damaging the front door and breaking a window behind the house. The police was called and he encouraged to file a restraining order based on my husban's erratic behavior. The officer felt I was in danger. He told me that if my husband came back I should run to his house which was right down the street from me. I told Shockley about this. I texted her those photos and videos from the security camera. I told her that the officer advised me to file a restraining order. She advised me not to do it because it would delay the divorce. We got to court and she couldn' t find the photos and videos I sent her assistant. She never presented that evidence in court so that the judge could warn him to stay away. She also tried to get me to sign an agreement saying that after 6 months, I would take over the house payment, which she knew I couldn't afford and I wouldn't qualify for a mortgage loan because I had just been employed and didn't have the funds to do it anyway. Thank God I had a friend who worked for a mortgage company who I called. He told me don't sign that agreement. She was impatient. She screamed at me during a phone call I made to her. When the divorce was final I never received anything in the mail to say so. My husband and I couldn't agree on alimony and so we left it in the judge's hands. A month later I thought I was still married. I had to call her office and her assistant told me that I was finally divorced. The assistant sent me the divorce settlement via email. My warning to anyone considering using her is don't. She will send you a bill for multiple $300 phone calls that she'll say she made on your behalf, give you bad advice and will conveniently forget to bring documents to court.

This team has an impressive understanding of the law, your rights, and the system. The thought and care provided to my family in a horrible situation was not only spot on but was considerate of our needs. Two thumbs up!

This attorney took my money and didn’t do anything but write a letter? Completely unprofessional, lack of communication and a waste of time and money. Do NOT waste your time or money.

Jim Ransom is compassionate, yet assertive. The perfect guide in difficult situations.

Just not satisfied with the way my case is being handled. Court date is in 6 days and have not gotten any info pertaining to the case itself. Only that district at attonery hasn't gotten in touch with my attonery. Feel as if I am walking into court completely blind folded. Wouldn't recommend using this firm.
