1 /5 Gina McGuire: . My husband and I were pressured to quickly pay for and retain this “lawyer” for my minor due to an imminent problem. My ex-husband did not have sufficient funds to pay, and he recommended her. We did not have time to properly vet her or we would have gone with another lawyer who is more aligned with our values. We discussed the matter with the attorney as well as discussing potential further actions to support the health and safety of our daughter, which the ex husband would likely be opposed. She advised she only represented the daughter. Despite saying this and saying she didn’t want to get in the middle, she relayed our private text conversations to the ex husband. This was completely unethical and an invasion of private communications. Additionally, she refused to continue communicate with the mother, only the stepfather who was paying the bills. She began just texting the stepfather without the wife included and would group respond to only the stepfather. Very rude and unprofessional behavior. It would appear she is not a mother with her behavior which is worrisome working with minors imho. We fully intend to file a grievance with the Texas bar association ethics committee.
