Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor

DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM!!!! They will milk you of every penny you have (they had my bank statements so knew exactly what I had) and give you a subpar attorney…then turn around and offer you another attorney for more money…they drop me as a client almost less than a month before my final court appearance…afterwards acknowledging that I had not received the service I paid for, kept my escrow and then out of the blue placed a lien on my property without speaking to me…BE WARE OF THIS SHADY FIRM…don’t let google review fool you…go read the yelp reviews and believe them!!!!! UPDATE: I spoke with Viktor, the one that does the liens and he accused me of “intimidation” bc I posted my review…he said he only deals with the liens and then turned around and tried to strong arm me for posting a review about my experience with them..after I informed him I was recording, he backtracked and said he didn’t know the purpose of my call and told me I had a balance with them when I asked why and about my escrow they kept, he said he couldn’t answer bc the “computer” generates the number as if he wasn’t the 1 who inputs it…the owner Mary had told me we would discuss my possible refund and then without calling to tell me she decided I wasn’t entitled to 1, she sneakily place a lien on my home which is what they tried to get me to agree to before they dropped me as a client for questioning their unfair billing practices and subpar representation. She implied it was MY fault for staying with the firm and ask why I didn’t drop THEM…. I should have but, when you have already paid thousands of dollars that you didn’t have, you feel stuck. I paid to be represented at my final divorce hearing and that didn’t happen…so, why do this firm deserve my money and to harass me with a lien??? IM A STRUGGLING DISABLED VET who got railroaded by a large firm…I never had a chance Update:Today I received an invoice from them although I had already received a final invoice and they have applied bogus charges…charging for things after their attorney had already withdrew from my case …this after I asked why they didn’t return my escrow…also charged me for calls they initiated to me about their attorney and adding things I have no knowledge of…if anyone can help me with this unethical firm..please reach out…

Thank you so much lawyer Lakisha for your professionalism and dedication to my case. I’m grateful for your guidance and support throughout this process. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to you for helping me navigate this challenge time. Your expertise and compassion made all the difference. Best lawyer in Fulton county Atlanta.

I had the pleasure of working with LaKeisha Gantt as my attorney, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with her services. From our first meeting, she truly listened to my concerns and was able to pinpoint the key issues I was facing. With the information I provided, LaKeisha skillfully outlined and developed a concise argument to defend me. Her attention to detail and ability to understand my situation made all the difference. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of a dedicated and insightful attorney.

I currently live in California and I needed an attorney in Georgia for a family law issue. Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor was recommended by a family friend and the firm quickly found an attorney in the jurisdiction of my issue. Ms. LaKeshia Gantt, an attorney with passion stepped up to the plate, ready and willing to walk the mile. From the start LaKeshia was a true professional, swiftly gathering info and advising on the best course of action. In less than a week the petition was filed with the courts and in less than a month she fought for me, settling the petition out of court with the opposing counsel. I cannot say how incredibly happy I am that LaKeshia stepped up and knocked this case out of the park! If you’re in need of a family law attorney, LaKeshia Gantt comes HIGHLY recommended by our family!

This law firm charged me nearly $4,000 for a retainer to modify child support. I discussed everything I wanted to do in the consultation with the lawyer. After I paid the retainer, I got numerous emails from many different people working at this firm that I was charged $70 for each time. They kept leaving the things out that I said I wanted and putting in stuff I didn’t ever mention and every time I had to correct their mistakes, they charged me. They send invoices each month detailing the charges that come out of the retainer. They claim they are talking amongst each other about my case and charging me for that. It took me less than 10 min to read the draft that was to be filed and email them with the corrections that needed to be made but yet charged me a whole hour for the lawyer to review it. Somehow it took her that long and yet so much was missing from it. They also told me I needed to keep $2,000 in my escrow account and when there was only 200 something left they said I needed to pay OVER $4,000. How does that make sense?! I told them I no longer wish to use their services as it is clear they are not going to get my case done without all these needless charges racking up. They never even filed anything. After I emailed and said I don’t want to use them anymore, they sent me another invoice saying I owe $1,700. I saw numerous bad reviews on here not long ago (which I should have checked before agreeing to use them as my lawyer) and now they are all magically gone. I will keep posting my review if it gets taken down. This is a shady business and I would not suggest anyone to use them. They don’t care about helping you. They just want to drain your bank account. Shame on you!!
