Not prepared
My friend paid a lot of money, only to end up in prison for something he didn't do.. She couldn't remember a lot about my friend's case and kept repeating herself. That only tells me she did nothing before his trial.

Great Attorney
She works very hard on cases and very dedicated to her clients. Windi will even refer prospects to other attorney's, if she cannot dedicate the appropriate time to handle the case.
