what an absolute moron. No knowledge of the law, and horrible presentation. FIND ANOTHER.. ANYONE BETTER THAN THIS !

Failed to present facts to help the case, and was easily disproved by opposing side. Acted like a spoiled child with no courtroom manner. The judge did not have a high opinion of her presentation or knowledge.

The person writing this comment was not my client. I believe this was an an opposing party. There was a hearing on May 10, 2024 wherein the Court made orders I believe this opposing party did not like. Family Law cases are very difficult for everyone involved but this statement does not accurately reflect what occurred. This opposing party substituted out his lawyer after the May 10, 2024 hearing.
