E. Jones & Associates Ellaretha Jones Ripped Off by Ellaretha Jones of E. Jones & Associates Atlanta Georgia

This law firm charged me $500 to handle a case last year (2013), which I ultimately ended up handling myself (pro se). I discovered her through an ad she placed on Craigslist. Please be aware that placing Craigslist ads offering low-priced legal aid is not a practice that reputable law firms engage in. See the following post for more:

Ms. Jones did not respond to my concerns in a timely manner (would not ever return my calls unless I posed as a potential new client), was untruthful/lied in her communications with me, did not represent me as I requested, and turned around sloppy work weeks after her promised deadlines.

I received no value for the money that I spent, wasted months waiting for her to return calls and process legal paperwork as agreed, and eventually did my own legal work for a mere fraction of the price she charged me.

Run, do not walk, in the opposite direction. Please do your research and Google her and the name of her law firm. The results of your search will speak for themselves. She has made a valiant effort to counter the claims against her, but please be wary of any overly positive reviews, as they are likely false.

I also do NOT recommend using Craigslist to find legal assistance. There are a number of free community resources that will provide real, legal assistance to you, without you being scammed out of your money.

I plan to leave this review in as many places as I can to protect other consumers from falling victim to this unscrupulous lawyer. She is a thief and a liar and should be disbarred.

Here are a few other sites where you can view the frustrated consumers she has mercilessly ripped off.

I will also be pursuing a complaint via the State Bar of Georgia at the link listed below.

 Please contact the State Bar of Georgia (at the link above or at 404-527-8759) to share your experience with Ellaretha Jones if you have been scammed by her law firm. This is critical to stopping her from taking advantage of other consumers.
