Came highly recommended.

I worked with Ms. Preston on my divorce several months ago. Initially,I had my reservations because her fees were so low and my ex had a high-priced attorney in her corner. However, Summer is extremely intelligent, capable and fought for me and I recommend her highly.

All talk, no action

Lawyer didn't present evidence or call witnesses. She let ex's lawyer bash me, call objection repeatedly and do most of the talking.

Replied last July 19, 2013

Clients must understand that you cannot just admit any items into evidence on the day of the trial and just expect them to be admitted without objection. You must be fully prepared for trial and that is why we schedule trial preparation. People hire attorneys because they know the law, however, some people believe that they know best and expect the attorney to follow. This client states that she felt bashed by the opposing attorney but, the opposing attorney represents the opposing party and is not concerned with anyone other than their clients own interests. This client states that I did not call witnesses, however, there were no witnesses available to support her claims. This client has also failed to state that the ruling was in her favor, which shows that sometimes, as attorneys, we cannot please every client, no matter what the outcome.

Great Attorney

I had a great experience with this lawyer in my divorce case. She really knew what she was talking about and made me feel like she was on my side. I would recommend her highly.

Affordable and Competent

What I really like about this attorney is that she looked out for my best interests. Also, I always spoke to her, not a paralegal or secretary. I would refer her to anybody, including my family and that says a lot!!
