This woman seemed a bit "lost", for lack of a better word during our 1st meeting, but i thought well, this is about a child support issue and it can't be that hard...a common task for an atty. i should have trusted my instincts. she is "lost" in her words and doesn't come off as being very astute at ...even communicating, let alone looking out for her client's best interest. i must agree with several other reviews on here regarding her. she got her money in full and i never heard from her until i saw her in court the day of the hearing. she literally sat there and looked lost as to what the other atty. was telling her. she had to look at me like a child caught in a lie for simple facts she should already know!!! i don't know if it's medication or if she's just like that, but whatever it is...(besides basic greed).. she needs to revisit basic life skills and common courtesy for others and not leave her clients out on a limb to sink or swim...meanwhile your money is already in her bank acct. i would never advise anyone to hire her for any reason, esp. in any matters regarding the welfare of your child(ren). when she was on the city council board..she was bright eyed and with it!
