Blew my entire case

This lawyer contacted the opposing party completely blowing my entire default case. She had no right and no business doing this when the person was perfectly served by Process Server her out of the way communication with the opposing party along with the Horrible Judge Nakita blokton kept me and my d...aughter from getting child support we were due for over 17 years yes her one act of stupidity cost me an entire case worth over $326,000. I would never recommend her she is a Golddigger and does not care about her client, she even allowed the judge to berate my teenage daughter in the coortroom and shut me up when I tried to intervene it was horrible and abusive to my daughter, Alyson Hood did nothing. Furthermore after having me sign the Covid documents to sit next to her she not only did not allow me into the hearing 30 minutes after it started but had me sit way in the back where I could not hear a thing. Every bit of this was a travesty every bit of this was disgusting and terrible treatment to her client she blew it the bar will hear of this. She even told me verbatim that she pads her fees. Do not go down the same rabbit hole and indoor the pain I did I am begging you!
