RUN IF YOU CAN

Unfortunately I hired Cindy as my divorce attorney. Dealing with her was harder than the process of divorce itself. She failed in so many ways, but I will try to keep in short. 1) my divorce was the easiest type: no kids, no assets division... NOTHING. just sign the papers. Even so she managed to hav...e information from an old client of hers on my divorce paperwork ! Such as wrong country... saying we had children etc... just awful! 2) Be aware, after i made a full payment, she did not finished the job, nor answered the emails/calls. 3) She took a long time to get back to me every time I contact her. 4) I had to push her to get anything done... it was so tiring. 5) my ex husband's lawyer highlighted numerous grammar mistakes written by her on our divorce decree. I could keep going on and on... even mentioning about her questionable character, but I will just tell you this instead: I wouldn't recommend her to my worse enemy!
