She truly is as bad as they say.

Missed my kids baseball game to be at 7pm appointment. Finally got to me around midnight very condescending and hateful when could not remember facts of case after all our meeting went to close to 2am at a cost of 400.00. She drug out her questions to pad the tab. She told me when I went to court to ...tell the judge in a civil case she could not be there due to another case and assured me they would give me a continuance. Well next thing you know judge is swearing me in. The other guy had his lawyer,but not me judge advised we better work something out, so I took a deal I really didn't want cause my lawyer wasn't there. The deal was struck when Susan strolled in after her other case was over and insisted she would look the agreement over as to assure I wasn't getting the shaft. She took about 15 mins to look it over. Next week I received 500.00 bill 100.00 for looking it over 200.00 drive to court 200.00 for her drive home. That's one bill I never paid or never will.

Horrible!

She is absolutely the worst atty in the area. Her husband takes calls about possible new cases and then says anything to get you to hire her. She walked in his office and insulted his ability, right in front of me, while he was trying to get my business. He acted as if nothing happened except to s...ay her high standards would work in my favor. I fell for it and three years later, was finally free from a nightmare that should have been a quick and simple case for anyone else. She made me wait 3 hours past my appointment time, (everytime!), lost paperwork and expected me to reproduce it, billed me 3 times a week, and NEVER knew who I was or what my case was about, despite many face to face meetings with her. Find someone else. Don't put yourself through it!

No Good

This I must say was the worst experience of my life. That is saying alot seeing as how I was going through a divorce. I was told to fight for one thing, and then at the end she told me I was never going to recieve what she first told me and I was crazy to think that I would. I was always kept in th...e waiting room for well over 3 hours after my appointment. She fell asleep while in the middle of conversations to many times to count. When confronted by the other attorney representing my x husband about how much she had charged she suddenly was to afraid to deal with the case or anything that I wanted out of it. The last hearing She told me I did not need to come to because it was going to be reset. Then she instead went through and settled everything without even talking with me first. I will be going back to court to fix her screw up. And i have every intention of turning her in. DO NOT USE HER unless you enjoy blowing $30,000.00 on a case that should only have cost $2500.00 and took almost 2 years. I was only married for a year.
