1 /5 Ashley Grant: Because of the advice Attorney Watson gave me, I’m being penalized in two states for my license. I had a four month suspension in GA which I would have been fine waiting out, but she instructed me to get my NC license to travel back and forth for court purposes because she said GA courts would take my GA license and I wouldn’t have a way to get back legally to NC. So I did what she instructed me to do & now my NC license is suspended for a year. I never had to drive back to GA for court we did it over zoom, so I never needed to get a NC license prematurely. Now the state of NC has suspended my license and I have to pay a reinstatement fine for two states, I have to do a DUI course for two states, and I have a suspension for a year, instead of just the required four months by GA… As far as her being my attorney the judge was annoyed with her not showing for one court Appearance, reprimanded her for not having all the evidence which prolonged the case she tried to say it was on the state but the judge said it was on both of them responsibility wise. I had to constantly call her to get information about my case because she only calls the morning of court appearances, & even then I drove to GA to find out she had moved my court date and never reached out to tell me before hand(this was before the instruction to get a bc license & I didn’t have to physically show up for court), and ultimately none of my charges were reduced or dropped, she kept telling me what she couldn’t do as opposed to what she could. Her fees are to expensive for her to give bad legal advice and ultimately not actually have a good relationship with Douglas County courts, the judge was very displeased with dealing with her, more than it was about my charges. I truly want to sue for the bad legal instruction because I could have just waited out the four month suspension did my GA requirements and been able to legally drive in both states.
