This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Poor Communication and Follow up.

This attorney has POOR communication and presentation skills in court and on zoom calls. Clearly NOT prepared or able to speak in court. Doesn't return emails or phone calls. Decided not to go with this hear. She is quick to ask for legal benefits claim number but doesn't do her job. Represent y...ourself...before you would select this attorney. It is clear when you listen to her she doesn't work a case until the day of court if that. Felt sorry for her clients. Judge even calls her out in court sharing that she is the reason for the delay.

Poor Communication

Very poor communication with client. Was slow to respond or she did not respond at all to requets for updates on case . Neglected to meet deadlines of motions requested by other attorney. Did not disclose any information to client and severity of motions filed due to her negligence. Would not recomme...nd.
