Brian A. Ramey Attorney at Law - Columbus, GA

In my opininion and based on my experience after hiring this attorney. He could be a good choice for a simple paper filing divorce that requires little to no effort nor commitment/preparation on the attorney’s part. He seems like a very intelligent individual that could be an excellent attorney if he showed more commitment and confidence in the courtroom. I decided to go with him as he was willing to accept a $1,500 retainer and a payment plan thereafter for 3 months for a total of $3,000 for a flat rate contract. However, he withdrew from my case when he possibly realized my case was more complex and complicated than what he could possibly handle. My impression is that he believed my case would settle at mediation. As the case didn’t settle, he wanted to charge me an additional $1,000 so that he supposedly could prepare for trial. I referred him to the flat rate contract and he simply didn’t show any further interest from that point forward. Every time I attempted have a discussion with him he would ask to be fired. He would not explain legal concepts and points of views. I started loosing faith on him as I witness his demeanor in the courtroom and in front of the opposing attorney. It seemed to me that he was scared or just intimidated by the other attorney and wouldn’t stand his ground and claim a position of leverage as I was the plaintiff. I felt as if I was the defendant in the courtroom. My case was filed almost a year ago and come to find out now after talking to other attorneys that there were many things he failed to advise me on and or do, like requesting a discovery for evidence and some other legal procedures that I didn’t even know. The button line is that he decided to quit on his own. Nevertheless, we both think we just couldn’t work well together, no hard feelings.
