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.

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.

Simply the best!

I was referred to Ms. Preston by a friend and I was initially skeptical because her fee was lower then most attorneys and I met with a few. I am one of those who truly believed that "you get what you pay for"...boy was I was wrong! She works tirelessly on your case when push comes to shove. She is... really busy and you think you will get lost in the shuffle, but when trial came she blew the other attorney away! I cannot say enough about her. .

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.
