Do not let this Chelsia Rainford represent you. If I would have read her reviews prior to obtaining her as my divorce attorney. I would've have paid for a more professional, knowledgeable, and reputable attorney.
She comes off as a very nice sweet lady, but she's all bark. No bite. I became very frustrated when it came to the trial and the mediation how she poorly represented me.
She did not properly cross examine the other party or attorney. She let the other attorney speak and say inaccurate information and also make inappropriate statements without any objections. Hell, I had to make several objections on my own defense. During the court proceedings she allowed the other counsel to take full control of the session. She had no back bone, when the fight got tuff she sat back and looked crazy, as well. She allowed the other attorney to make calculations. I felt as though she did NOT have my back and as a result I wasted my time, energy, & money, too! I was extremely upset and frustrated. If I could rate her a zero I would., too.
She talked a good talk at the consultation. After I informed the attorney of some third-party advice that I received from a another attorney, she got upset and decide to excuse yourself, or withdraw herself from my case 2 weeks before the final court hearing and notified me via mail/email. Keep in mind, we always communicated via phone or in person but never communicated via mail/email. Also, she informed the other attorney that I was not complying with the prior agreed upon mediation agreement without speaking to me about my final decision, her horrendous, actions, or her decision to withdraw from my case. I was totally blindsided about this information that I received via postal mail (finding out that she had withdrawn from my case). As a result, it caused me to pay extra court fees, attorney’s fees, & all this other frivolous charges that could’ve been avoided if she was woman enough to pick up the phone to call me and verbally talk to me like we’ve been doing. I made several attempts calling her via phone. I’ve texted message her and for her not to return my phone calls was a very cowardly way to end a business transaction such as this magnitude.
She was very unprofessional and gives good attorneys a bad luck when it comes to representing the law and clients!
