Shanta Tomeka Gilbert, Attorney at Law - DeRidder (LA)

5 /5 Jream Jreamgyrl Lockett: I had the pleasure of having Mrs. Gilbert represent me in a legal matter. She kept me updated with my case, and stood on business. I was very satisfied with the outcome, and walked away victorious. Trust her process, she knows whats shes doing.

1 /5 Hannah Price: Communication and representation. This is so important, especially for legal matters. It went great at first but after a while it would take weeks or months to get a proper response. I would ask questions and my emails would be printed and put on the desk for Ms.Gilbet to get to when she got back in office. I would wait a couple days and send a follow up. Nothing. This happened quite often. Not to mention after my trial date I was told she would reach out to me so I waited. I would email and ask when that would happen, message was pased on. This went on for a WHILE. she did call on mlk day but I was at work and didnt get to answer. Then I was told to make an appointment to talk after 2 months of waiting. Many emails I have that still are unanswered and many questions, even recent that are unanswered. Now this didnt happen all the time, just to clarify but it happened often. I felt my representation in court could have been so much better as well but Im not gonna go there. First lawyer I ever got, she was the only one I spoke to before hiring her. I didnt know what to ask. What to look for. Well I know now.
