Not a good advocate for women in family law matters

I would not recomment this attorney if you have a family law matter such as divorce, custody, placment and child support especially if you are a woman. I hired Gwen to represent me concerning family law matters and I am sorry I did. I did not find her to be a strong advocate nor that she advised me p...roperly concerning my case. I feel I paid her a lot of money and she did very little for me. She would actually defend my children's father in our conversations regarding him and my case and he had his own attorney. I found that she talked in "circles" and down to me as her client instead of advocating for me and advising me regarding my legal issues. I also found her billing to be dishonest and questionable at times. It seems she has received high ratings as an attorney in regards to consumer law, but i absolutely would not recommend hiring her as a family law attorney. I have met with and hired other family law attorneys since her and gotten much better legal advice, insight and respect than i ever got from Gwen. Do not hire her as your attorney if you are a mother and need representation and counsel in a family law matter. I do not think she is a good advocate for women.

"I endorse this lawyer wholeheartedly. I have known Gwendolyn for at least a decade and admire her enthusiasm for consumer protection law and protecting her clients. She is extremely knowledgeable and very competent. If you have a fraud case, particularly car sales fraud, and you are anywhere near her, she's the one to call. I think she is the best fraud lawyer in the state. I recommend her to you."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I strongly and whole-heartedly endorse this lawyer's work. Gwen works tirelessly for her fellow attorneys through the state bar CLE programs and the State Bar administration. She is constantly making presentations on various matters and I would consider her an expert on consumer transactions, consumer fraud, lemon law, etc."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer's work. When I interview clients with consumer law needs, I refer them to Gwen without hesitation. She knows the consumer protection/predatory lending law inside-out. Gwen and I have served together on various State Bar committes, including the State Bar Board of Governors. She has demonstrated leadership, as well as a willingness to serve our community's low-income population. For that, she has earned my admiration and respect."
