Previous client
I had very bad experiences with this attorney. Every time I spoke to her she only talked about more money. When I talked about the case ,she didn't seem to even review the case . Finally she didn't win the case . I hired another Attorny who win the same case she lost . I would Not recommend her .
This appears to be a phishing review from Avvo for failing to pay for their services and not a retained client.
