Horrible!!!

I’m so disgusted with this person. I was referred to her peer who stated, “she’s a pit bull (or bulldog) in the court room”! I thought, “Man, that’s EXACTLY what I need!” She’s a pitbull alright... with you. She’s so condescending and showed little professionalism, care, or empathy. She failed to app...ear in two consecutive court visits, and what ultimately led to me parting ways with her was her not showing up to a Family Court appearance with not even a phone call to prepare me. But she had enough time to send a replacement who was incompetent regarding the details of my case. She misquoted my words often, showing that she really wasn’t paying attention to what I was saying. She never once entertained meeting in person. She never worked with me to understand a plan or strategy. She was clearly uninspired and uninterested. I met with her once in 3 months- the day I retained her. That’s it! The next time I met with her was the day I let her go for misrepresenting me. Fortunately, I was able to “negotiate” a 1/5th return on what I already paid her. She got no results and had the nerve to request another $4,500 in addition to the $5,000 retainer to continue representing me. She was representing me in Family Court and told me to hand her the rights to Criminal Court defense as well. I agreed to do so. In her time representing me, she claims to have gotten me results because I have visitation with my daughter on my days off from work. When that was simply a message she relayed. She hasn’t actually gotten a result in my favor. On the criminal side, she failed to act in a timely and professional manner to acquire video footage of the moment of the alleged assault that was hindering my custody case even more. That video would have easily proved my innocence. Now I have to pay thousands more to find a criminal lawyer and family lawyer. I’m so upset.
