Posted by Jessica | May 02, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Don’t use her !!!!

My daughter was appointed Mrs Dummer in her child custody case , first interaction they straight up did not care said to do what dcs wanted even tho we had evidence of them lying and abusing their power she never even looked at it , then from that day till the day before the next court appearance no ...contact the day before she called and told all kinds of things she was going to do that my daughter had no choice but to wave her hearing if not if dcs won her rights would be terminated which was a lie , and from the court appearance until the next no contact until once again the day before court now here we are and she hasn’t had no contact with my daughter since refuses to call her back , no updates nothing I understand this is t her children and I pray she never has to go thru what my daughter is currently going thru it’s absolutely disgusting and no one will even listen to her currently trying to figure out who I report this to clearly it’s a violation of my daughters rights and it won’t be ignored no longer

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
