Awful

She’s an awful attorney. She’s money hungry and not a fighter. You pay her thousands of dollars and have to do your own work. She never calls you only to ask for a payment. Do not hire this attorney

It is unfortunate that you feel that way but your failure to communicate and cooperate with me left me no choice but to withdrawal as your attorney. I pride myself on maintaining contact with my clients so I know that accusation is false and made with malice. With regard to you having to do the work and me not being a fighter, I believe my other reviews including Google reviews, show the untruthfulness in that statement. When a case requires discovery which requires a client to gather their documents for the attorney and a client refuses to do so, it makes it impossible for any attorney to do their job efficiently. Perhaps you should have cooperated with me during your representation and I would not have had to fire you as a client. Best of luck.

I WOULD NEVER REFER HER TO ANYONE!

I was desperate and hired her gave her $3000 up front was late to our on and only court hearing kept talking about needing surgery and business was slow and how clients hire her and she never hears from them again...sends crazy test messages then demands another $1800 a few weeks later . I told her ...I just paid her $3000 and all she did was go to court once and did nothing and sent in 2 forms....she sends a rude email saying I dont work well when im not paid! I was like really????? So i sent her the $1800 then a week later she is demanding more money!!!! Needless to say after consulting with another attorney mrs schenk did NOT send the appropriate documents to the court for my case . I went to get my evidence with very personal information and she has left it with a totally different companys receptionist. I get home not only do I have my evidence but I have evidence from several peoples cases. She is very careless and if she sends you a text DONT ANSWER she will charge you $100!! I WOULD NEVER EVER RECOMMEND HER TO ANYBODY! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND FIND SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT HER CLIENTS AND THE CASE. NOT JUST THE MONEY! (which she did nothing for)

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
