Rhonda Reynolds Wendy is the greatest. She knows the laws in the state of Georgia, & I do recommend her expertise.
1 /5 Hunter Crunkleton: ⭐☆☆☆☆ One Star — Deeply Unprofessional During a Serious Matter
I hired Mr. Scott Ledford to represent me in a Temporary Protective Order (TPO) response, as well for a divorce case, for someone else, expecting at least a basic level of professionalism, empathy, and competence. What I received instead was a dismissive, inconsistent, and frankly careless experience that made an already stressful situation exponentially worse.
From the start, his communication was almost nonexistent. I often had to chase him down for updates, and even then, the information was vague, incomplete, or just flat-out wrong, unless the court had to contact him; This wasn’t a traffic ticket—it was a serious legal matter involving my safety, my rights, and someones future. The bare minimum should have been attention to detail and timely paperwork. Instead, filings were either completely wrong, key items were left incomplete, or just simply not done. We did the leg work mainly ourselves. He genuinely did nothing.
Worse yet, his attitude was condescending, particularly toward me as a woman. Every time I tried to express concern or assert my needs, I was met with smugness or outright dismissal. There was no sense of care, no reassurance, and absolutely no accountability. He didn’t follow through on anything he was hired to do—despite being clearly told what was important to us in this case.
This experience wasn’t just frustrating—it was dangerous. Mishandling a TPO case can have very real consequences, and Mr. Ledford acted as if we were just another file on his desk, not a person navigating a high-stakes legal battle.
If you’re seeking legal support for a TPO or anything involving your safety or personal rights, or a divorce, I urge you to look elsewhere. You deserve an advocate who listens, follows through, and actually gives a damn.
