I hired Ernestine Carter before there was a way to review businesses and she does not even deserve 1 star. She should be disbarred and jailed for theft and neglect for not doing her lawful duties. I was young, very vulnerable, naive and hired her for thousands of dollars. We filed against my ex-husband for revision of previous child custody orders. After preparing with her for weeks, we came to court and she was blatantly; appeared to be purposefully unprepared. She irrogantly walked into the courtroom empty-handed and had the audacity to ask if she could use all the documentation I brought into court as she walked up to present my case. I was shocked and that is when I realized she did not care, but handed her my file anyway. I ensured she had copies of everything she needed to present my case weeks in advance. Keep in mind "we filed" for revision of previous orders. She did not even get a chance to present my case. I was in total shock and disbelief when I ended up in handcuffs and jailed for 4 days due to the opposing attorney finding a "frivolous loophole" for contempt of the original order from the previous year or so. This had to do with my being 1 month late paying child support 1.5- 2 yrs back, but all payments were current and up to date from that one late occurrence, so they held me in violation of the previous orders for being 1 month late. This was all the court heard. Ernie did not say a word. I was in shock and speechless. Ernie did not defend me in any way or form. I am an educated professional who works in the medical field and always try to do what is right and fair. I cannot explain the humiliation, the emotional trauma and how wrong this whole court case and jail process was. The court system and my own attorney horribly failed/ wronged me and my children. After this was over, and I was out thousands of dollars. I consulted a different attorney who was shocked at what had occurred and explained to me Ernie could have prevented me from going to jail and the case would have had a completely different outcome, if she would have just done her job. The only thing she did correctly and took thousands from me in the process, was take my vehicle and park it at her homeoffice so it would not get impounded. What a hefty price to pay! Stay clear! She'll take your money and has no ethic whatsoever! I wished they had reviews at that time. Do your research before hiring anyone. Ernie talks a big talk, but once in the courtroom, she could careless since she makes sure she has been paid in full before ever stepping into the courtroom.
Failed to file divorce documents as per my instructions for joint child custody. Refused to refund retainer when we subsequently fired her for not meeting her contractual agreement. Ms. Carter is barely literate. Do not have her write anything for you. Her writing is full of grammar and spelling errors.

I am an educated professional who works in the medical field and always try to do what is right and fair. I cannot explain the humiliation, the emotional trauma and how wrong this whole court case and jail process was. The court system and my own attorney horribly failed/ wronged me and my children. After this was over, and I was out thousands of dollars. I consulted a different attorney who was shocked at what had occurred and explained to me Ernie could have prevented me from going to jail and the case would have had a completely different outcome, if she would have just done her job. The only thing she did correctly and took thousands from me in the process, was take my vehicle and park it at her homeoffice so it would not get impounded. What a hefty price to pay! Stay clear! She'll take your money and has no ethic whatsoever! I wished they had reviews at that time. Do your research before hiring anyone. Ernie talks a big talk, but once in the courtroom, she could careless since she makes sure she has been paid in full before ever stepping into the courtroom.
Failed to file divorce documents as per my instructions for joint child custody. Refused to refund retainer when we subsequently fired her for not meeting her contractual agreement. Ms. Carter is barely literate. Do not have her write anything for you. Her writing is full of grammar and spelling errors.
I hired Ernestine Carter before there was a way to review businesses and she does not even deserve 1 star. She should be disbarred and jailed for theft and neglect for not doing her lawful duties. I was young, very vulnerable, naive and hired her for thousands of dollars. We filed against my ex-husband for revision of previous child custody orders. After preparing with her for weeks, we came to court and she was blatantly; appeared to be purposefully unprepared. She irrogantly walked into the courtroom empty-handed and had the audacity to ask if she could use all the documentation I brought into court as she walked up to present my case. I was shocked and that is when I realized she did not care, but handed her my file anyway. I ensured she had copies of everything she needed to present my case weeks in advance. Keep in mind "we filed" for revision of previous orders. She did not even get a chance to present my case. I was in total shock and disbelief when I ended up in handcuffs and jailed for 4 days due to the opposing attorney finding a "frivolous loophole" for contempt of the original order from the previous year or so. This had to do with my being 1 month late paying child support 1.5- 2 yrs back, but all payments were current and up to date from that one late occurrence, so they held me in violation of the previous orders for being 1 month late. This was all the court heard. Ernie did not say a word. I was in shock and speechless. Ernie did not defend me in any way or form.
