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.

Child sexual abuse

Attorneys who support child sexual assaults and molestation should have a psychiatric evaluation. Mothers who are and have a history of mental illnesses should be mandated parental therapy often. Thanks not thoroughly investigating your clients and the accusations of child sexual assault. There’s a d...octors report cps and sheriffs report. Thanks a lot for failing another child.

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.

Amazing Attorney

We have used Ms. Preston on a few occasions once back in 2016 & just recently for our Stepparent Adoption which went in our favor . We also have her for My Husbands Custody case and are seeing promising results, she is professional, knowledgeable, responsive and understanding. I will ALWAYS continue ...to recommend her every chance I get. Thank you so much Ms. Preston for ALL that you have done for us you are AMAZING!!

Lack of integrity

I hired Summer to file a custody modification. I suspected my ex-husband was involved in drugs and I didn't feel comfortable sending my children to visit him during the summer. I sent Summer $724 for a retainer, filing fee, and process server fee. She sent me a few blank forms to fill out and I spoke... with her on the phone once regarding the issue. My ex-husband then died of an overdose a few weeks later, before anything was opened through the court, before I even finished filling out the paperwork. I told Summer what happened, she advised me the retainer was non-refundable, however she would get back to me when she was in office the following week. I never heard another word from her. She never returned any of my emails, voicemails, or texts. Its not only the fact that she kept the retainer after doing very minimal work on the case.. its the fact that she also kept the $125 for the filing fee and process server fee that should have been refundable. All this while helping my children with their dad's death and spending the money to fly them to the funeral. Very disappointing.
