Posted by anonymous | December 29, 2021 | Hired Attorney

Too much money for very no personal time.

This woman will quickly take your hard earned money only to have her staff submit failed paperwork full of misspellings, wrong dates, wrong names, etc. Your case will be incredibly delayed thanks to such irresponsible, unprofessional mistakes. The only reason she will contact you via text or phone is... to remind you of your remaining balance and demands that you aren't late. She mixes personal life with professional life using it as an excuse to not meet in person EVER. Also, to this day she still uses Covid as a pretext not to meet in person, even though a Zoom call, FaceTime, WhatsApp, or any kind of video call would suffice. Within over a year of handling my case, to this day she still refuses to see me in person, and my case isn't resolved. I think that for $4000+, anyone else would have done a lot more for me, and things would not have been as horribly delayed thanks to her unprofessional behavior as well as that of her staff.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
