Dara Marie Strickland

When we started trying to get pregnant we had Dara draw up a contract. Everything seemed fine. A few weeks before the due date, we attempted to contact Dara to begin the process for my wife adopting our children. Dara was nowhere to be found. We tried calling, emailing and even stopped by her offic...e for at least a month with no response. When she finally contacted us she told us she had been out of town for a death of a family member. We met with her and had everything ready to go. She promised she was turning everything in the next day and she would update us weekly. Almost a month passed with no word. Once again we emailed and called with no response. After weeks she called and pretended like nothing had happened and proceeded to tell us a signature had been overlooked so nothing was even processed. At that point we decided she would no longer be our lawyer. She gave us our file and our money back. My wife easily could have adopted our kids by the time they were 6 months but because of her we were starting all over at that point. Please save yourself the trouble and do NOT use her. She lacks professionalism and is unreliable.
