Posted by Alicia | May 13, 2026 | Hired Attorney

She will not fight for your rights! She is lazy and a coward.

She has no grit (courage) to stand for cases that require an attorney with backbone. In other words she won’t fight for you, listen to you, or treat you with dignity. She is easily persuaded by the opposition/associates/other professional ppl pleasing is more important to her than standing up for yo...ur rights no matter how awfully they have been trampled or violated. But she WILL charge you as if she did. Warning: dont waste your time or money You WILL end up defeated, mistreated and ignored but only after you pay her for work she never does.

divorce and child support

Received the worst settlement for my child. I could swear she was working for the other side. Don't hire this person for your child support or divorce case. You're better off handling things yourself than using this attorney.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
