Valerie Butler Malara

Horrible. Missed the Statuts conference with the court. She missed three of our scheduled phone calls. She and Picard Law Group will blast through your retainer and you will be left wondering what they did. Senior attorneys continually review each other's work when there is no movement, each bill...ing on top of the other. She would not return calls, follow up or simply do her job. FIND ANOTHER ATTORNEY!

I'm grateful I met with Valerie Malara for a divorce consultation. Before hiring her, I was considering signing an unfair Settlement offer, being too ill to keep up with overwhelming paperwork. And it was late in the process. I brought in every spreadsheet and document I could find. Valerie had ...quick answers of what was important, due to 30 years of experience, including being a Magistrate. She was patient describing the things that were possible. Without her specific advice, I would have made several costly mistakes -- even after my own research. She's fearlessly assertive. Being a shy person, I really needed someone who didn't give up. I felt confident we finally gathered the most solid information for a court hearing, if events had led up to that. I'll definitely call her again when needed in the future. The investment in her time and experience saved me much money in the long run.
