Unless you want to be completely abandoned by your lawyer and not have her show up to court at all and lie to you where she is the entire time, then I wouldn't waste your money on her!! My husband worked with her for over 6 months and she gave absolutely nothing to the DA despite saying she did and was absolutely necessary for his case (evidence of treatment for almost 2 years, clean screens, NA sheets, etc) which really screwed him because he could have gotten a WAY better plea deal had they known he was in treatment at all, but she did not send anything! We paid her $3500 and she basically abandoned him as a client. The day of court we waited for almost 6 hours for her to show up to court. First excuse was that she was in court in fulton when court began at 9am, so she would show up after lunch time. 1:30pm came and she still didn't show up. She then texted my husband she felt sick and couldn't come. The DA was very upset with her, standing up in the court room saying her client has been here all day and she has made several excuses as to why she hasn't shown up and we even found out she lied about even being in court fulton. The DA also said this isnt the first time she has done this and we were advised to get another lawyer. Even weirder she called the judges office saying she was so sick and making gagging noises on the phone. The DA also said this isn't the first time Ms.Gladden has done this to her clients. My husband had to go on record before the court stating his attorney never showed up, and the judge suggested we find a new lawyer. We also found out the day of court she didnt even tell us the entire plea deal he had and all the stipulations that came with it!! (Which it was a terrible offer btw) This is the BARE MINIMUM requirement of a lawyer and I have never seen this with any lawyer I've worked with. Now we are out $3500 dollars and only 4 weeks to find and pay for a new lawyer, which we do not have the money for! When we confronted her about it and wanted a refund, she started sending screen shots of a random court case in fulton County trying to prove she was there?? Which still doesn't account for her not doing her job in all the other areas. Save your money and find someone else!
