Whatever you do, Don't Hire Her. Don't even agree that the court appoints her in your case. Run Run Run

If you hear her name mentioned run as fast as you can in the other direction, this is the type of lawyer that should not even be allowed to be a paralegal, let along practice law. Her filings are confusing at best, the writings she filed in my case was full of errors and looked like a copy and paste ...from another case, with a terrible editing job. As a Best Interest Attorney (BIA) she should be removed from the court list. Don't agree with her being assigned to your case; she is not thorough, not professional, very opinionated, most likely just signed up for the money, and don't care much about the children' best interest she claim to represent. As an abused parent, dealing with her made it worse, save yourself and stay away. If I could give her a rating worse than one star, I would give her a minus 5 stars

Custody

She treated me with respect when I was going through a difficult custody case. She was knowledgeable and explained the process to me. She handled my needs promptly and effectively. She kept me advised of the status of the case throughout and after the hearing. She helped me to understand my leg...al rights. She helped protect me. This had a big impact on the future of my family especially my children. I FEEL LIKE A STAKE OF HEAVY BRICKS WERE REMOVED FROM ME!!! THANK YOU!!

Great Attorney!

Attorney Oliver served as my attorney during my divorce, child custody, and child support cases. She was extremely knowledgeable of all codes and statues and represented me and my children well! Through this very difficult time in our lives; her professionalism, legal advice and attention to detail... truly gave me a "peace of mind". It was her superb representation which allowed me to focus on that which matters the most - My children, their stability, and our healing!

I retained Ms.Oliver for my divorce, she helped me thru a very difficult time in my life she kept me informed and guided me thru the divorce process. She was always on time for our meetings and was very helpful to my family also, I couldn't have asked for a more professional and knowledgeable lawyer... than Ms.Oliver. I would highly recommend her firm.
