No Actual Care for Client

I would never ever recommend this lawyer for anyone’s child. Her behavior is absolutely disgraceful. She does not actually care about anyone well being. She does not listen. She acts very unprofessional in courtroom. She even did not show up to a hearing without letting the client or the judge know. ...

Horrendous attorney

Horrendous experience. She seems to hate all parents, completely lacks objectivity and makes wild, unfounded accusations. She has an awful reputation amongst law professionals and clinicians. Awful experience from start to finish in court and all staffing meetings.

Horrible Person and Lawyer

I wish there was a choice for 0 stars. She is the most unprofessional and nasty excuse for a human being out there. She has no interest in her clients and has yet to contact her current client. He needs serious help, but all she does is bash and get nasty with you when you try the best for your child.... She is the first to tell you that you are a horrible parent when she doesn’t even know you! I can’t stress enough do not have her as your child’s lawyer! She must have got her degree from a Cracker Jack box. Wrong profession for her!

SHE IS A SHYSTER

THE Most unethical and unprofessional lawyer and person on the planet. She never spoke to me. SHe did not have the best interest of her clients. Relied heavily on dubious expert witness. Including that mismanaged the office and practice. SHe has tempertantums in the court Room.
