A Rare Gem in the Sea of Sharks

I have had Autumn for two cases over the last 3 years. How many people can say that they love their attorney? Autumn was always personable, responsive, and willing to strategist with me. She was passionate and compassionate. I always felt better after discussing with her during the ugly, exhausting b...attle. I never once felt that Autumn's behaviors were driven by greed. She bills honestly and fairly, unlike some attorney which I had in the past that billed unreasonably, including double billing. She advised me to think about cost effectiveness and at times offered me information of less costly resources and options. She and Todd are a good team, and Todd helped tremendously in my case too. I felt that I had a true advocate with Autumn and Todd. Although my child support modification case turned out worse than I anticipated, the outcome was within the range of Autumn's early estimate of worse case scenario. The case did not come to a satisfying result mostly due to my ex' malignantly narcissistic games, his lawyer's unethical and sociopaths conducts, and the magistrate's obvious prejudice. I am not sure how many normal, decent people in the world are prepared to deal with evil, so I do not hold Autumn accountable for that. She worked hard and fiercely against my ex's and his lawyer's countless lies and the magistrate's unfair treatment. As an ethical person, she was as drained as I was by the unbelievable opponents. There is only so much you can do with a biased court. I trust that she has been well trained to deal with the evil kind now after my unusual case. I had a few attorneys before Autumn, and she is by far the only one that I respect and trust as an attorney and as a good person. I highly recommend her.

Autumn is AWESOME!

Last year I separated from my husband. I called/interviewed 6 attorneys. Autumn was so kind and took time to explain the divorce process to me in depth. A year later, I decided to go forward with the process and hired her. She is kind, compassionate, very savvy, not intimidating (like other attor...neys), fair, professional and brilliant at what she does. I highly recommend her!
