Not A Good Lawyer
She racked up thousands of dollars in charges and dropped me a month before the final divorce settlement. I lost everything. She will take your money and leave you at the worst time in your case. Do not hire her or anyone at this firm. You'll be broke and sorry if you do. Destroyed my divorce case.
