Drop the ball on my custody case

Back in 2004, I retained her to represent me in a custody case. Time was of the essence due to my wanting to take my child overseas for a job relocation. I had a hearing on a specific date. I asked her if she could meet the tight deadline with her schedule. She said she could. A few days before the c...ourt date when I couldn’t reach her, I was informed by her office that she was on vacation!!! I was absolutely livid. The court date was rescheduled. When she finally did appear in court on behalf, I did not feel she represented me because my ex ended up getting the better end of the deal with major concessions when I already had sole physical custody. I really wanted to file a formal complaint. For future custody and child support issues, I fared way better representing myself pro se.

Integrity, Knowledge and Experience

I have known Tara since 2000. She did my Estate Planning and Trust. My home and finances are now protected from the government getting their hands in it and missing things up. Thanks Tara.

Handled my divorce with very little hassle. I’ve referred others to Tara and they were equally pleased.

Brilliant attorney

Tara has been a god send to me. She helped with making our wills and Trust. She helped me navigate through my father's estate and division of property with my contentious brother. She was a huge support when my husband died and assisted me through all the paperwork that was needed in regard to my ...family Trust and purchase of a new property. I trust her high ethical standard and appreciate all she has done for my family and myself.
