Divorce Case

Worst lawyer you can possibly hire. Took my money and start ghosting me. I should have done me research because I found out it’s what she does. She told me my divorce was filed and after calling the court a month later, I found out that she never filed it. It took her days to respond to texts mes...sages and weeks to emails. DO NOT HIRE HER FOR ANYTHING. If there was a Zero rating, that’s what I would have given her.

Do not HIRE.

I hired this lawyer, I was a struggling single parent trying to win a custody battle. I paid her in FULL, my first mistake. She only returns phone calls when there is payment to be made. All other concerns are the least of her worries. Her turn around time for call backs, emails, or submitting paperw...ork is almost obsolete. There is never any staff at her office. The staff that answers the phone, does not return calls, I had my final hearing rescheduled twice, and it took months to even get it schedule due to so many of McDermed excuses. I have been waiting since April 2019 for my final court paper orders. Final hearing is done, judge has decided what custody arrangements there will be, BUT I do not have final orders that were to be written up by McDermed. I have emailed and emailed, called her cell phone an Office. NO response. Do not make the same mistake.

CDL holder

I paid this woman 1000 dollars to try and get my citation lowered or thrown out. She barely filed the appeal, said she emailed me when she didn't, and now won't respond about a court date I had may 30th. Do yourself a favor and run as far as you can from this woman, she's a thief and will just take y...our money and run.

Divorce

Hired this attorney for a divorce, which she never filed. cost-$800.00. Tried to contact her by phone-was told that her assistant would be contacting me-which never happened. Have tried to contact her on several occasions-unable to contact by phone and there is no one at her office. Scam....

Never Responded

Have called 3 times for a consultation and they kept taking messages and asking for my info. She has not responded to any of my attempts to contact her and nobody from the office has contacted me either in case something was going on where she was unable to contact me. Have some basic decency.
