Posted by anonymous | May 27, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Family

She promised to help me with my abusive ex husband.

I literally gave her every penny I could scrap together because she talked the big game and told me she could help make things better for my children and I. When I questioned a bill for the other attorney continuing the case, she suddenly dropped me…the day before my court case. She showed up, sat wi...th opposing attorney talking about me while I was just 1 row behind them, then she stood up and said that she could no longer represent me. The judge asked if I was ok with this and I said no. The judge let her leave anyway. Now I’m paying back a large debt for a service that only harmed my children and I. This gave my ex husband and his lawyer the steam they needed under their wings to amp things up and make my life even more miserable. This makes me look foolish in the eyes of the courts, as she would know. I would never trust this woman with anything pertaining to family law. If you're in need of a family law attorney, you’re likely in a pretty terrible place. To be taken advantage of while already down is just plain shameful. Please do your due diligence and do not work with this woman. It’s taken me months to even find the courage to post this because she will clearly know who I am. But I can’t let her treat another person in a similar position as me in the same manner she has treated me.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
