Horrible Attorney
Devon did not get discovery completed, missed deadlines and did not turn over my evidence so I couldn’t present it. Great at talking a big game and then can’t produce. Hire someone else. She will make you lose everything.

Replied last December 12, 2019I respectfully disagree and hope you will call me to discuss this. I am mortified you feel this way and would like to correct it if you are dissatisfied.
