Mital Patel, Divorce and separation Attorney on Apr 11, 2019
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Camellia was opposing counsel on what could have been a difficult divorce case. However, we were able to work together to get a amicable resolution for both parties and in the most inexpensive way possible for the clients. It was great working with another attorney that wanted to do what was best for their client without a lot of the unnecessary steps and expense of a contested divorce. Great to work with and against. Very knowledgeable in her areas of practice.
John Haines, Child custody Attorney on Feb 6, 2019

Camellia is knowledgeable, diligent, and experienced, and I recommend her highly to anyone seeking legal assistance in a divorce or child custody matter.
