Trial

I used Summer for a paternity trial. Initially, I had another lawyer, but they withdrew from the case because I couldn’t afford their trial retainer. Her fees were something that I could afford. I ultimately got the 50-50 Timesharing I was looking for and my ex was so mad.

Worst Lawyer

Mrs. Preston claims to be probono, She takes will take your money and once your income is found out, she basically will ignore you if you have no money to provide to the case, yet she can get dues paid by the other party, she fills your head with what you want to hear, an stops helping you. She does...nt care about the kids it about her pocket book. Shes a scam lawyer

Picks and chooses by Pocket Size

This women will take your money. Lie to you and not do her job. Beware when she tells you thing and she doesn't respond. She does not care about the issues at hand or the childrens lives.

Sense of Compassion and Understanding in her voice

I'm in the process of retaining her but from the moment I spoke to her, told her about my complicated family law case, I could hear the sympathy in her voice, the compassion. I took the time to read all the reviews and over the years with my litigation, I learned that its human behavior that no pers...on is going to be able to please everyone. But, in family law, its the dedicated attitude, the fighting attitude for justice that a lawyer needs in additional to the knowledge that they possess. I am in the negotiating stage with Ms. Preston and am very hopeful that she is the kind of attorney with compassion and a fight for justice. You can hear it in her voice and family cases are emotional when children are involved that you need someone like Ms. Preston on your side. I know I am very emotional when it comes to my children because they are the innocent ones.

Rude Lawyer

I called Mrs. Preston for an appointment she returned my call and set up an appointment. When the appointment time came she was late and when I called her she was rude. When we spoke she appeared busy and uninterested in my case. She told me my concern was not covered under family law and could not... help me. She could have told me over the telephone and not wasted my time and gas.

Replied last March 13, 2015

My website and advertisements clearly indicate what areas of law that I practice. This consultation's appointment was yesterday (the day prior to her writing this review) and she appeared at her appointment (30 minutes) earlier then the scheduled time. In addition, she requested I send a "threatening" letter to a "church." I do not engage in that type of practice of law and not sorry that I would not accept her case.
