Would not recommend- horrible experience

I would not recommend this attorney based on my experience. Communication was inconsistent, and important details I clearly outlined in my emails were often overlooked or not addressed. I frequently felt that my concerns were not fully read or taken seriously, which added unnecessary stress during an... already difficult legal process. There were also significant professionalism concerns. She was late to a hearing and did not offer any apology or acknowledgment. At times, her remarks came across as dismissive and unprofessional, and it was often difficult to reach her as she seemed too busy to communicate when needed. Additionally, there were interactions that made me feel uncomfortable. When I expressed this directly, there was no acknowledgment, accountability, or apology, which further contributed to my concerns about professionalism. When I asked for assistance with documents, I was told to complete them myself. Despite this, documents were later submitted with spelling errors after I was told they had been reviewed, which raised concerns about the level of care and attention given to my case. I also found myself having to follow up on matters that should have been handled more thoroughly, and I did not feel confident that my case was being given the attention it required. Ultimately, I made the decision to consent to her withdrawal, which I believe was in the best interest of my case. I strongly encourage others to carefully consider communication, professionalism, and attention to detail when choosing legal representation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
