Terrible!!!

Judy is terrible. She Works in quantity not quality. She has so many cases she can never remember the facts of yours. You will spend 85% of your time catching her up on the facts of your case each and every time you meet with her which is generally in the hallway right before your court appearance. T...he whole staff when you can get ahold of them treats you poorly. The constant excuses of the emails not working or a employee who left or the phone system is down gets really old really fast all of this of course you're being billed for and you pay a lot of money for very poor service. You would do yourself a favor to look elsewhere for an attorney.

GO ELSEWHERE.....

Please do your homework and read other ~bad~ reviews on this lawyer. She did not do anything for me, there was absolutely no communication even when I had emailed her and asked for a meeting. In court, it was not her that was representing me, it was her Paralegal who was doing the work. Nothing wa...s taken care of after 7 months, I had to revise my situation and ~fire~ her and retain a new lawyer. More $$ than I wish to disclose and absolutely nothing was done, not even child support issues. Please look for other hard, working lawyer's in the area, my new lawyer is doing a wonderful job and has found a lot of error's that just don't even make sense at this point in the divorce.

Burned out and unethical!

My experience was pretty much spot on with the existing review. She had me sign an agreement that she ignored herself. She did things without telling me. Took days and sometimes weeks to reply to messages and when she did they were incomplete responses. Part of her staff is family and she claimed sh...e couldn't fire them after acknowledging their incompetence. Now that my retainer has been used up and she is aware that I'm not happy, she is withdrawing from my case for false reasons. On top of all that she over billed and under delivered. Wish I would have checked here before hiring her.

worst custody lawyer EVER

would never recommend Judy. Her and her staff were very unprofessional and rude. She didn't listen to what I wanted, went to court wi th out telling me, petitioned for things we never talked about, ignored other requestes, wouldnt return e mails, phone calls, half ways through my case seemed like... she gave up
