Unprofessional and antagonistic

I was extremely disappointed in Maria's lack of follow up and communication . I did not feel she was advocating on my behalf but was interested in prolonging a painful process instead. Her communications with me as , I attemptefto get status updates, were condescending and extremely unprofessional. H...er antagonistic posture was not helpful in court discussions ,or with me as her client , and did not produce any result other than prolonging the case. Not every delay was a direct result of Maria but I do not feel she advocated effectively to bring any type of resolution. Thankfully after I made the decision to seek out new counsel I was able to get the ongoing battle resolved and closed in less than 3 months. Which was a great relief after 16 months of no progress at all.
