I was referred to the attorney by a friend. I was in a very bad divorce. My ex husband is very well to do. He physically and mentally abused me, he was also very controlling for 21 years. I desperately wanted out. I went off my good friends recommendation During the course of waiting three y...ears to mediate, I found that I was addicted to a prescription med for anxiety. The divorce had affected me in so many ways bc of having three children as well. I decided on my own to go to rehab to get off of the anxiety medication. I left the day I decided to do this and was leaving for Colorado quickly. My ex husband was actually very supportive through it and I asked him to let my attorney know & that I would be gone for 28 days. There was a lot of packing to do to get ready and to say goodbye to my children. When I returned from rehab I got a nasty message from Mrs. Smith that I didn’t tell her everything and was very embarrassed because my exs attorney explained to her that I had become sick. She did not like that. She was more concerned of how it made her look??? I was under the impression when someone is trying to get help from being sick that you have support by others. Not this attorney. She was very ugly and rude to me and went instantly to to remove herself from my case with a judge leaving me with no money for another retainer. She didn’t give me a dime back and she never did anything except ridicule me. She’s a very very ugly person. Her office is extensive unprofessional. Her right hand will gossip to you about all of her boss business and I never felt comfortable there. They are a joke.
