TERRIBLE TERRIBLE

TERRIBLE LAWYER! She very unorganized, never has the correct documents in front of her, and she never knows what she is talking about. You are basically doing the work for her, and she submits to the court. She calls you ONLY during working hours, and when she can't get in contact with you leaves you... nasty messages and blames you for ignoring her. She is very rude, and NASTY when talking to her clients, and anyone for that matter. If you try to correct her info (which is VERY wrong) she hangs up on you. She is more concerned about her money, which I was charged over 10,000 in a matter of 9 months, I was told 3,000 would be enough.. that was spent in the first 3 days. The money is so not worth all of her crap that you put up with. You can never get a detailed billing, and when you do, you're still missing thousands of dollars from it. No one in her office knows what they are talking about, they call you every day asking you for info that you've already given, or already spoke to Mrs. Hess about. Not to mention they are very rude also. They refuse to give you documents, and/or charge you $75.00 to give you a document you should of had in the first place. I have NEVER had a professional talk to me they way she does... Even when things are her mistake (and almost everything is her error from wrong documentation), she is down right NASTY, she will call you a liar, and say you lied to her, when in all actuality you were just trying to give her the correct information THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE ALREADY HAD! Point is, she is a very nasty woman, who has no organization, and then blames her faults on you and every one else around. For the amount of money you will spend, you could find your self a MUCH BETTER attorney!

Disorganized

Over priced. Under results to no results. You will be disappointed in her services and SHOCKED with her bills. Disorganized, buries herself with her own paperwork, had to give several copies of information. Was unaware that you had to build a foundation before questioning. Was beat back by a state ap...pointed attorney. Save your money and find a lawyer that knows what the judge expects.
