WORST CHILD ATTORNEY/LIAR

If this is your child's attorney contact the legal aid bureau and get a new child attorney does child attorney I have watched on multiple cases she handled one of my cases did a horrible job I watched on a few other cases when I was still going through my stuff because I got rid of her and I hear the... same thing from all the same people about her that she picks the parent with the most money that she belittles the other parents regardless of proof or anything so basically if you have more money than your spouse she'll believe everything you say and shall be little you therefore she fails to look out for the safety of the children not only that on numerous occasions I heard from people that she has also lied about stuff in the courtroom that hasn't been proven yet but will be proven eventually I bet within the next 6 months because karma is real. So for anybody looking for a decent child attorney passes page don't even look further this child's attorney is horrible you could probably pay her 10 grand and she'll tell you you'll have your kids 99% of the time and at the end of the case the other party will have the kids 99% of the time you'll have them 1% and then social say that's how the balls rolled I guess you know so she's just takes your money and basically doesn't do any work for it I wish I could have a job like that for God's sakes I had to do all my own work I should be a child's lawyer I had to do all my own homework she didn't do nothing for me I literally had to get all my own affidavits and everything yeah horrible worst lawyer ever.

doesn't report the facts

She picks sides with the more affluent parent and belittles the parent with less money. With zero regard for her client. Her supporting motions did not show any concern for the child or facts, she failed to mention or remember facts that go against her agenda and only advocated for the parent with... more money against the evidence presented in front of her including medical evidence.
