Zero star attorney

There is nothing this lady did right. After wasting thousands I eventually fired her and represented myself getting the results I needed soon after. She was never prepared she was hard to get in touch with she never filed any paperwork on time and had an excuse as to why. I practically had to beg her... to do her job, a child custody case that could have easily been resolved got pushed back for months and months simply because of her lack of caring and never filing motions in a timely manner. I stuck around as long as I did because I had already paid her unfortunately but please save your money and protect your sanity. She made an already traumatizing experience ten times harder because she is who I paid for assistance and every hearing it felt as if she didn’t even know what client she was representing or what matter she was presenting on. Reminded me of when I used to study for a test the day before the test. She also showed up for hearings as if she had just woken up. Everything about her was unprofessional from her appearance to the way she handled my case. You are better off representing yourself than hiring her, which is what I did in the end and immediately got the results WE were aiming for at the start of the case simply by putting in the effort and speaking and countering to the judge instead of just letting what the opposing party said fly to get the hearing over with. Very disappointing attorney. I would rate zero stars if I could.

Excellent Lawyer

Ms. Dantism was very precise even artful in her cross examination. Her objections were sustained continuously. She took the the time to prepare well and it showed in demonstrating a history of making false allegations from the plaintiff. Needless to say the case was ruled in my favor even under cons...iderable adverse conditions. I am incredibly grateful for her diligence!

WORST LAWYER EVER

Where can i begin.... Very unprepared. Didnt give me any results. I could have presented my own case and gotten the same results. I had a child custody hearing and abuse was involved. She didnt even subpena the documents. Called me the day before court and informed me that i had a hearing. DO NOT HIR...E THIS LADY. YOU WILL REGRET IT!

I would give 0 stars if possible

Where do I begin- this attorney showed an unprecedented level of incompetence !! She collected thousands of dollars upfront and then immediately became impossible to reach. It took days to hear back from her and when I did it was usually with an excuse or useless dialogue. She met with me in person... once for 2 hours throughout the entire representation. I conducted my OWN legal research, spoon feed her precedents and statutes and provided a mountain of evidence. However, NONE of that was presented in court. She never objected to anything the opposing party said no matter how absurd nor any of their evidence - even things that a blind man would have challenged. She arrived with an unsorted stack of papers that was so jumbled that she held up court leafing through it and practically pressed her nose to the sheets in order to attempt to read anything. I do not believe she prepared for my hearing AT ALL despite having weeks to do so. I fired her before I even left the courtroom. Truly, I would have accomplished more representing myself. What little ground I managed to salvage of my case was purely by my own effort.
