Unhappy client

Valerie said she would fight for attorney's fees to be paid by the other party and didnt. We wrote our declaration and she edited it to make it sound nice which was good but then made a false accusation and didn't correct it. She also made the final court order where both parties had to choose a ther...apist and the attorney's would then choose the final one but after court when i called to give our 3 therapists she requested another 1k (after already paying 2500 for 2 court appearances) so now myself and the other party still can't agree on a final doctor. It seemed like she was trying to charge for every little thing to use up our whole retainer. Her assistan Maria is so rude and not helpful in ANY way. I would not choose this attorney again.

Disgusted Client

I have to agree with "Dropped The Ball". I to was going through some custody issues and wanted full custody and child support. Well Valerie was great at first and then it was like I didn't matter and she was too busy with other clients. I would never recommend her to anyone at all.. I give her th...e lowest ratings possible.. If you want a good attorney then go somewhere else!

Dropping the Ball

Valerie seemed like a great attorney, so it seemed, in the beginning. However, she was never in the office, hard to get a hold of, always leaving messages while getting charged a "boat load." She then sent a bill after our court hearings and advise a payment arrangement could be made. Once again tr...ying to contact her to discuss payment arrangements was impossible as the supposed receptionist knew NOTHING! It was stated by the receptionis that Valerie wasn't returning our calls since we owed money; all the while we were calling to discuss payment arrangements! She also held on to our paperwork and never filed them since we owed money. I can't believe she performs business this way.....she couldn't even prove our side as she originally stated before hiring her as our attorney. Save your money and go elsewhere!
