Lier and thief

I'm glad she was disbarred, told me she would have my custody case settled by the end of the year which was 2020 when I initially hired her. After payment I was ignored, my case was dismissed after she abandoned my case, her words were"at this point I can't help you" after I got upset because I had n...ot heard from her in almost a month and i said what point you haven'tdone anything!! Refused to return my money. She did no work, the one thing she did draft looked like she just copied a template, and even spelled my name and my sons name wrong and other things that i could tell this is just a template and she or her team just put my info in. I filed a Grievance with the texas state bar and they told me she has been disbarred for doing this to many many clients. Someone said they don't know why the negative reviews...just because it didn't happen to you does not mean it's not true. She picked and choose who she wanted to help but still take thier money!! God don't like ugly!!

Run far away

I hired this lawyer to help with custody but the only she ever did was show up to court very late mind u it was done by the time she showed up because i was getting an enforcement from adivce i took from her than turned around and said to my face never do that again. I gave her 2k as a down payment t...han paid off 6k. Idk what work she ever did or anything she never answered the only time she ever answered is when i got off late called cuz i found out some info didnt expect her tl answer she didnt left a message to call me tomorrow only for her to call me right back. She will take ur money and run

Thief and Liar

I'm very disappointed with myself should have looked her up before I hired her for my son's child custody case. She sounded very professional and so willing to help us out. Paid her $800 dollars in April and now no txt, no email, no calls, No Update on the case. So, thank God I went to the website w...here u could see your case and there it is a date for my sons' case. And she hasn't even told us about the court date. I'm glad she got DISBARRED but i wish they would make her refund all that she did wrong.
