Frustrated and unsatisfied

I hired this attorney to assist with filing my divorce case, expecting professionalism and competence. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. There were multiple instances where the attorney failed to review or utilize the information I provided, leading to avoidable mistakes and delays. Des...pite my attempts to clarify and address these issues, questioning her methods seemed to result in defensiveness rather than constructive action. While she communicated frequently, her decision to withdraw from my case after I raised valid concerns about efficiency and cost felt dismissive and unprofessional. Rather than working collaboratively to resolve the issues, she appeared unwilling to take accountability for errors or adapt her approach. Overall, while she may be capable in some areas, my experience left me feeling frustrated and dissatisfied with her services.
