EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

She represented me and helped with my children when my ex-husband lived in another state. She stayed in constant contact with me. She made sure I stayed calm during the hearing and made sure my children were safe. Would definitely hire her again!

Unfit careless attorney

She was assigned to my children’s case and had my kids taken from me and given to their father who lives across country, my children were uprooted from their home, school,family and friends and given to their abusive father who continues to control their lives and is a very angry man. I was made to l...ook like an unfit parent when my kids missed a lot of school surrounding Covid. She made a horrible decision, she never listened to my children’s opinions or mine and went with the parent that made more money. This was a very cruel decision and was very careless. She seems to have too many cases and never really listens or cares about the outcome of the children . Decisions can’t be undone. She has no heart.

As I was not your lawyer and did not represent you in Court, my response is limited in scope. The Judge is the ultimate decision maker in all cases, and takes into consideration, fairly, all evidence. Given that the facts of your case were such that the Court decided to remove your children from your full time care, your remedy was to appeal that decision to a higher court.

MY SENTIMENTS TO THE FIRST REVIEW

She appears to be very over committed as far as cases go, thereby not giving your case the attention it needs. As previously stated, she smiles in your face but really could care less how the case turns out and in fact comes across like she really does not want to be bothered. Phone calls to the o...ffice were often never returned or many days later. I just did not feel that she really was invested in my case. Advocating is what she DOES however it is not who she is.

As I was not your lawyer and did not represent you in Court, my response is limited in scope. The expectation that a Guardian would be concerned over a "parent's case" is a misconception. That is only one consideration. The law requires representation of the child's interests, which are not always perfectly aligned with just one parent's opinion. Ultimately, the Court's look at the child as the primary focus. Appeal is always an option if you felt the Court did not give your opinion appropriate weight.
