Be sure to get a good attorney. Im not sure she is certified.
we were charged 80,000.00 more than we expected to pay. the other attorney just had there way with us. she kept the judge mad at her all the time. the main problem was she let the other attorney get away with hearsay and lies. we have filed a complaint against her in tallahassee. we lost every thing....

Replied last June 29, 2015Your feedback is important to me. My office has reached out to you many times to try to resolve this matter without success. After more than 40 years in a successful family law practice, it is still troublesome in instances such as this when the opposing party or family member causes an escalation of litigation resulting in greater expense for our client. Please know that I value all of my clients, and I invite you to contact me so that we can find a resolution.
