About Sylvia
Biography
I work very hard for my clients. I am highly efficient. I am respected in the community and this saves my clients money because I can get things done. I encourage my clients to work with each other to find a resolution that they can live with. My motto is "you can't burn the house down and then expect to live in it!" So compromise is key to my law practice. Still, I take cases to trial and win when the other side is not cooperating. In short, I try to save money and do things through compromise until it comes to a point that negotiation has failed and "fighting" is necessary. There is no better advocate in your corner.

Arrogant and incompetent
Arrogant and incompetent. She never wanted to see or send the evidence of my case to court. She sold me a plan that would supposedly resolve my case in 3 months and simply did not comply.
