Do NOT hire
I rarely writes reviews. But because I am a parent and understand the importance of this step, I genuinely advise you to not hire Ms. Rayner… no need to continue readying.. No need to take a chance . - The communication with Ms. Rayner was horrible. I proved to her in two phones that she didn’t r...
This review was taken down twice already because the client stated allegations that were defamatory and untrue. Despite being taken down, he has written it again. It is noteworthy, that I was the second attorney on the client's case. He fired his first attorney. The review is repetitive and does not make sense, and is false. Unfortunately, he wrote this review after I had been relieved by the court as his counsel, at my request. He could no longer afford me and clearly this is retaliatory . He requested I remain on the case before I was relieved . Contrary to his assertions, I informed the court of all of the client's concerns regarding COVID. I always listen to my client's concerns and make sure the court is made aware.

Do not use
Kim was late to court every single time. This ended up costing me thousands as the court time was pushed back, we sat around waiting. Scattered with facts, never fully prepared and lied about what work she preformed. Case should have been wrapped up in half the time it took.
This review is absolutely false! Clearly, this was written by someone who did not want to be challenged as to their allegations hence it is anonymous! I cannot specifically address any of this review as I do not know who this is. However I can say , I am never scattered Or unprepared and I do not lie ! I take my clients cases very seriously and represent everyone to the best of my ability . This is reflected in all of my other reviews.
