Nicole Porter Lasiter Esq. - Phoenix, AZ

There isn't a Star that I can pick for my review of Ms. Lasiter. This was the worst experience of my life with an Attorney. I have represented myself numerous times in court since I have a College degree in Administration of Justice. The only reasons I hired Ms. Lasiter on October 2019,were: The Judge on my Divorce case suggested I get counsel since my ex-wife was making some strong allegations and demands and 2, a good friend and coworker recommended her to me. Well, short and sweet.... I had responded to all the court orders on my own, and had a pretty good record of everything in an 2 inch binder. Ms. Lasiter charged me $5000.00 ( $3500.00 first for retainer, and $1500 afterwards.) I basically turned over the whole case to her, and all she did was argue with me about what I could and could not ask for.... it seemed as if she was fighting for my ex-wife instead of me. After the $3500 dlls. run out, because I got charged for every second I spent on e-mails and Phone with her office.... She threatened me with withdrawing from my case if I didn't pay the $1500 dlls owed after the Retainer was used. I had only 2 days to pay up or stand to lose the case for not having legal counsel. Well, I finally fired her for incompetence and I got things handled on my own. I got what I wanted and the divorce was final on Feb. 26, 2020. I tried to reach out to her to get part of the last $1500 dlls. reimbursed to me, since she didn't spend anymore time on my case...and she answered with an offer of $350.00 and a waiver and release to be signed promising not to post any negative reviews about her. Sorry No Deal!!. She sent back her file to me...and it was about 1/2" thick and all copied from my own documents !... I Can't attach pictures of my binder vs. her file folder... but it sure wasn't worth $5000.00 dlls. Please beware !. I hope this review saves someone from making the same mistake...!
