Overrated and Overpriced

This person tried to open her speech of who she was as someone who has never been unable to accomplish something and that she always provides great resolutions to the best of her ability. When she asked what I was looking to get out of her services, I felt like most of what I had said went throug...h one ear and out the other. I had a very complex case, made her aware of this, and all she did was push for what she wanted to do, regardless of what I had asked her to push for. Im very flexible and willing to negotiate, but without going much more, she was unreliable. After using her, my case was actually placed in a worse position.

Unkind and unfair

I felt brushed off and unheard by her. She was quick to make assumptions. Our mediation was rushed and felt one sided. I waited a long time to finally feel seen and heard by the court and was hopeful and optimistic about our meeting. Our case is complicated with many moving parts. H...er bais baseline prevented her from understanding my unique case and felt like I was being categorized or stereotyped and was extremely uncomfortable the entire meeting.

Poor

She is absolutely the worst human being, not to mention a horrible lawyer. Run as fast as you can away from her.

ZERO stars

I don't even know where to start- she represented a friend of mine and it was a mess!!! She filed in the wrong courts. She had multiple errors on paper work and in grammar & punctuation. She was a conflict of interest & unprofessional, communicating with the other party via txt. She didn't give a sig...ned copy of order and instead told her to go get one her self? She failed to file emergency and immediate temporary orders and restraining orders. In the end she fired her self and left her without notice high and dry. Never heard of such BS and I've gone to court plenty. If she could be rated zero that's what she should get! Disgrace and embarrassment to real attorneys out there.

Does she ever respond?

We have the hardest time- ok, she has not responded- to calls, emails or other any communication. This is very unprofessional!
