Well respected in the court system, and demands it from other lawyers and will not accept anything less; Won't let you be disrespected either...by anyone. Very professional. She knows most of the facts of your case off the top of her head and can handle them well on the fly. She is very straight f...orward, so if you have a personality that can't handle that, then she may not be for you....I liked that and didn't want anything sugar coated. Won't put up with 'crap' from other lawyers and their clients...she handles their 'games' and puts them in place when needed. Great on her feet - in 4 way conferences, in trial, as well as in front of judge. Very trustworthy - you can tell her ANYTHING, and knows what not to tell the other party(ies) involved. I wanted to know everything and be prepared for everything, and that's what she did for me. She get's fired up for you, and will put forth her best efforts to get the job done. Would like to see her office be more technology efficient, which would improve efficiency for her and you; I wanted to always review, and possibly update/change filings before they went, and her assistant was always very cooperative with that process, however, I would have to physically pick them up or have them faxed to me. If you need a bulldog, and I knew I would, then I would recommend her. If you don't, and at times I didn't (very few though), she still got the job done well. Small office - only her and her assistant - pros and cons. You will only deal with her and not be bounced around to different lawyers, however, if you have emergencies, sometimes you can't reach her, but she will ALWAYS get back to you when time permits.
