She does not listen or respect client's wishes

I had a consultation with Ms. Poitras. She had me send her pages from my current will. I added notes, and she didn't even review them. She also did not listen at all when I told her I had suffered serious abuse from my brother and wished to intentionally omit him from my will. He is a multi milli...onaire, and will not become indigent. After not listening, she suggested that my brother bury me. Also, my brother is 10 years older than me. When I brought up these concerns in an email, she made no apology and thought her performance as a lawyer was fine. I think she also gave me wrong information about Medicaid, though I am not sure. Research your estate lawyer, and do NOT choose Poitras. I also notice that she has a censure on her record.
