Awful Attorney

Oh, if I could turn back time, I would have never come to this firm and retained Deb. I only went here because the attorney I used for a previous case who was with Sodoma Law left and started her own firm - so out of convenience, I went with someone at Modern Legal. Deb did not handle my case with c...are, was sloppy and had a very bad "bedside manner" to say the least. She also advised me poorly and gave me wrong information regarding a question I continued asking. She was rude and at a time when I needed someone to advocate for me, I felt she did the opposite. Will never go back or use Deborah again.
