Very Rude, Unprofessional

She was unprofessional from the time she took my sons case. She doesn't follow up with her client. She belittled myself and my son when we had questions. She will tell you she has other cases to tend to as if you're not a priority as well. She threatened my son to take a plea that he did not want to ...take in court and if he didn't she was not going to continue with his case. She does not speak like an attorney. She does not dress appropriately in court, in fact she had on a pair of nursing crock shoes with a dress. She was late to court. Not one time before my sons court date did she visit him or contact him about his case. She is rude, talks over you, and her attitude is nasty. This is not the person you would want to represent you or a loved one. She will not fight for you.

Terrible attitude/Extremely rude

Called to get some help and she belittled me and was terribly ride. I got off the phone in tears she made me feel so bad about myself and hung up in my face. Quoted me $10,000 when other lawyers I spoke with have been very helpful & quoted me $5000 and $3000. This woman does not deserve to be a lice...nse lawyer. The reviews are accurate, she is terrible!

Unprofessional and unorganized

I should have known not to have her on my case when we had our first meeting and she failed to mention that she charged a $250 consultation fee until afterwards. 2/3 of my court dates passed and we hadn’t met up once to discuss anything, despite me attempting to keep regular contact with her. When I ...brought this up, she told me it was because I hadn’t been indicted yet which come to find out, was not true and I had already been indicted for one of my cases. She only contacted me when it was regarding money. She was aware of the fact that I live paycheck to paycheck and was barely scraping by to even afford her but yet somehow it was my fault when she neglected to run my debit card on the original pay date and waited 2 weeks, then got mad when I told her she would have to wait a few days until I got paid again. She’s had an unnecessarily insulting attitude with me more than once and when I confronted her she said “what’s wrong with you?” She was a waste of money, energy, and time, which is 3 things I couldnt afford to lose.
