Save your money for someone who cares

Once this lawyer got my money she would take weeks to respond and when I finally spoke up and said it wasn't professional called and left a snarky voicemail. Once I hired her and needed to meet she sent one of her colleagues instead who was clearly high on something who kept going on and on about all... the people he knew which nothing was relevant to my case. A friend also tried hiring her but no one ever responded to her call so yeah if you need someone who cares and is reliable look elsewhere.

Save your money hire someone else

Agreed on a price to finalize my divorce. Then she drug her feet… wanted more money, kept postponing and then didn’t even show up for a hearing. Asked to release her and she claimed an assistant would send over the paperwork… that never happened. I highly DONT recommend her

Will not represent YOU

Neglect and improper supervision case. Against a registered nurse mother. This attorney was representing the plaintive and let the defendant's attorney Work with c p s to close the case. The case stating the allegations that were proven without a Shadow of doubt were untrue. CPS and Michigan state ...police. subpoenaed to the courtroom Board testimony The child shared the same last name as the plaintiff. Case was closed. After a behind closed doors meeting with the defendant attorney. Stating allegations are untrue and the plaintiff was not the father. When she was fired, she refused to give up the file to the plaintive. And to this day states, there was nothing she could do. This person clearly has no compassion for her clients. Don't let the name fool you

OWI Defense

Jodi represented me in a case where I was arrested for Operating While Intoxicated. I ended up going to court 4 times and Jodi came to only the final trial, sending an associate of hers to represent me the other 3 times. While I appreciated all that her firm did for me, I would have rather been rep...resented by only her the entire time. But they ended up getting me a pretty decent deal with the court that I am satisfied with. 8/10 experience.

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.
