Took off with my papers

Contacted and met in August from a car accident I had in dec ! Called again today ( nov) found out she moved and the secretary knows nothing of my paperwork I left for her to copy!

Posted by anonymous | October 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Has a backbone

She is GREAT since she is away from Harvey's office !!!! Recommend her highly. She now practices law like it should be, I had to stand back and watch her be a puppet with my cousins case at Harvey's which is still not settled and has cost over $ 100,000. Penelope kept wanting to set...tle Ashley"s case two years ago and she couldn't, you could see the aggervation in her face. To bad Ash is still suffering because of Harvey !!!
