Posted by anonymous | November 16, 2012 | Wrongful Termination

Unqualified

I hired her to handle my fraud case and wrongful termination case. Even not knowing what to expect, I could tell she was unorganized and not really interested in my case. When I was in her small office (that her sons were also operating a dubious credit check business out of), she would answer the ...phone and talk to other clients as if I weren't even there, discussing facts about their case, etc., right in front of me. Made me wonder if she was doing the same about my case.....discussing it with others. Come to find out, she was a friend of one of the defendants and had discussed my case with them. She also misrepresented my case to the DoJ and had not properly prepared or filed the Complaint, nor did she even prepare a Disclosure Statement. She said she had won a FCA case, it must have been by chance. Because she definitely did not prepare my case and also cost me my case because of it. What she presented to the DoJ was just some sort of chart and a brief sentence or two about me and the defendants. It was quite embarrassing. In my opinion, she is highly unethical and not fit to be representing clients.

  • 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.
