Posted by Elizabeth | August 25, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO "NOT" HIRE THIS INDIVIDUAL TO REPRESENT ANY INTEREST...COMPLETELY incompetent....

Before she was appointed my attorney I had spoken to a family rights organization and they recommend that I ask any lawyer representing me if they would be willing to work with a family rights lawyer...well this I did and to my detriment with this attorney...she immediately became irrate and defensiv...e screaming at me that NO, she would never work with a family rights lawyer because they are a treat to her livelihood. I was appalled. But at the time, I had no choice but to take my chances with her and her husband Matthew Dunn who also practices alongside her, vice versa. Upon arrival to her office, her secretary greeted me with this "warm" salutation. "You are the reason why CPS has your children". This greeting was totally unacceptable as she knew nothing about my case in which I'm totally innocent. I was greatly offended by her actions. It appears that no work is done on my case and no calls were ever returned. Her secretary was primarily giving me counsel which was not competent at all, she is not an attorney. My case was a CPS, I witnessed MY lawyers, both and her husband immediately responding and answering and or returning calls to CPS but never returning my calls nor setting up a time to discuss my case. They appeared at the time of the hearings only minutes before my case was heard. At one point, this was the same time when she called in less than a day before my hearing, by she I am referring to her secretary asks me if I have been working my services and that's it. Why didn't her office know? As a matter of fact, no services were offered and CPS were moving to terminate. Why didn't she know? I could go on and on about her negligent in practises in my case alone. Upon seeking to write this review...I realized that others have had similar things to report about her law firm. It appears that each time a negative report is made there is one positive one written directly after it opposing what the last one said to a tee. So if I was a reader I would take notice of it and use better judgement.
