Marea Lane Wachsman

I called Ms Wachsman only because another attorney suggested I speak with her. She gave questionable advice, as it was a case of domestic violence / sexual assault, and she said go to small claims court... she interrupted me without knowing any facts other than what she was told (by the initial atto...rney), and I still don't know what that is.... I attempted to tell her that a support group was recommended by the sexual assault org, however she yelled that if you don't see a psychiatrist there is no proof of emotional distress. That's not true. Only those who have the time and means to go to a psychiatrist have suffered because of a crime or a heinous, despicable act, or negligence? Support groups and actions/speech out of character doesn't indicate emotional distress? Ms Wachsman kept yelling that "she is the attorney!". I've spoken to several attorneys on this matter, and have had internships with attorneys when in college, and never was I spoken to like that. Although I scored a mere 165, in the 93 percentile, on my LSATs, I surmised it was higher than her score based on how she chose to speak to me... .... I'm a competitive athlete and an academic, so what she says doesn't phase me, I know not to trust it. However, lawyers give poor legal advice all the time, and if that advice were given to a weaker person, who has experienced a form of domestic violence or sexual assault, I fear for their safety and well being if they chose to listen.... I could say more, however I believe that it's important that this review receive approval, so I am going to leave it at that.
