Judgmental

This lawyer is judgmental she makes sure a mother can not have her kids. She involves cases that does not contain together with siblings. I would not recommend this lawyer to anyone unless you want your kids taken from you when you have done no wrong.

DO NOT RECOMMEND

Hired for a very specific reason. Took my payment, did absolutely nothing with my case, withdrew as she felt she couldn’t achieve what I’d hired her for claiming she was hired for another reason, refunded not even 20% of my retainer after doing nothing. The second most unethical and unprofessional at...torney I’ve ever had the displeasure of meeting. Save your money and your time and find someone else.

Worthless

She will take your money and not return emails or calls for six months. I don’t think other than Shannon Rash you could hire anyone worse. She is not on your side and will force you into committing to a bad deal. Buyer Beware!! Completely useless

Best around

Exceptional Attorney

Highly recommend Ms. Wells! She is intelligent, well-spoken and well-educated on the laws and court rules. She is prompt in her replies and readily accessible for emergencies. We have hired Ms. Wells now for three court appearances regarding child custody issues. She has easily claimed victory in... the first two and she is well-prepared as we enter the courtroom for the third time in the near future. Would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Wells to any of my family, friends, or colleagues.
