Crittenden Partners - Birmingham, Alabama

My ex has unfortunately been exploited by Deborah Gregory to the tune of $40,000 and has traumatized my kids with two and a half years of litigation in an attempt to manufacture a case to try and justify years worth of contempt and visitation interference.

Imagine the feeling of blowing that kind of money only to have a judge say ‘you don’t have a case’ and ‘dad filed a petition a long time ago to clean this mess up’ in open court.

Gregory even filed a false ‘emergency’ to suspend visitation in my case, and her own client even testified that my kid ‘was fine with visitation’

In effect, all Ms. Gregory has actually done is drag my children through years of nonsense only to come up short by insisting on trial again and again.

DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM! The communication between myself and Nicole Saia was terrible. She would not respond in a timely manner at all. Upon the second divorce trial she pawned me off on her partner Deborah Gregory and at trial Deborah suggested settling "to be done with him". Upon agreeing to settlement she was on the phone eager to get to her next appointment. I lost on all levels. They should have at least fought to get my attorney fees paid by my ex but didn't even try or suggest that. They charged a huge amount to prepare for trial and then recommended settling.. Then came the bill - WOW. My ex-husband had a redneck attorney from Tarrant that cleaned the floor with the Crittenden firm. Ridiculous!

I retained an attorney from this firm for a child custody dispute. This is my experience and the lessons I learned the hard way with dealing with this firm and its attorneys.

First, the communication with my attorney was disastrous. There were times that I needed assistance promptly after I had to file a domestic violence report, where I did not have a way to contact her other than an email and office number. When I did reach out it took over a week to hear back. That would become the norm throughout my experience.

Second, I did not feel I was being advocated for. Many of my requests and concerns were not answered or addressed. When she would attempt to it was done so reluctantly.

Third, they will charge you for everything. I understand they have to make their money and it's not free. However, charging to organize your file and $44 to process your payment after they have given you the worst service and failed to advocate for you is absurd.

Continuing with payments, I asked for a final invoice and it took weeks for a response and multiple emails. When I got an invoice they said the following week I was late. After it was paid that week I received two more invoices.

When you need an attorney you need one on your side and working for you. Not one that is trying to take advantage of you or failing to be your support and legal advocate.
