horrible lawyer

she didn't follow up. didn't allow me to input on important decisions, and at the end when i fired her she wrote up bogus bills to rip me off big time. did nothing for me whatsoever.

Excellent Attorney

I hired this attorney for my divorce case and she was brilliant! She pushed the other attorney for the settlement I wanted before it went to trial. I got everything I asked for! Her staff was courteous and kind and to be quite frank, I don't know how I would have gotten through this difficult time... without them. A very professional and friendly experience though this office.

One of the Best!!!!!

I had a major issue happen in my life, A DIVORCE!!!! Never saw it coming!!!! Anyway, I had heard from alot of my friends who had been down this road that they had wished they had this lady attorney in Joliet. They had seen her in action and they had said they wished they knew about her. So, I calle...d. I have had to hire attorneys in the past for other issues so this was not my first. She did exactly what I wanted, what I asked for, gave attention to my matter, staff was understanding, professional and prompt. No problems with billing, just that I had to submit any questions in writing. Billing was honest, fair and precise. I had called around for pricing beforehand. She will be my first call for any future help I need.

All show no go (take heed)

Wow, where to begin. She started off will all the right answers, all the right paperwork. I thought to myself, here is a detailed individual. Then it came to going to court. She "wasnt prepared" for the first date according to the Attourney General. I got charged for that and prep fees. ... She sent 160 bucks in letters out if the first month. Arent stamps 40c? She nickle and dimed the retainer to death. Then came the actual court date and she argued nothing that we talked about. I got screwed in court. Then i tried to call her to go over all the other issues and a plan of attack. No return phone calls. Her secretary was rude, her "detailed billing" horriable and non existant. To this day i am fighting to get a detailed bill. I had to fire her. She sent back 97 dollars out of 1800 retainer. I am insulted. I want a final bill detailed, they wont send one. This may seem like a rant. Take heed. This is my 3rd lawyer and the worst of the bunch. Still looking for a good one. One suggestion if you dare use her, payment plans, dont give her the retainer.
