Posted by Sheryl | September 27, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Probate

She betrayed me, she’ll betray you!

She handled the probate for my deceased brother, since he had no trust or will. My second brother was fighting me. I confided an idea I was mulling over to Kira with explicit instructions to not tell anyone else. She told his attorney anyway even though I had asked her not to. She betrayed my trust, ...which forced me to abandon the idea I had. Her answer was…”I don’t live in a vacuum.” Do not use this attorney! She couldn’t be bothered to make the trip from Encino to San Bernadino County for the final court date. She sent a staffer that could not answer the judges questions, so my out of pocket expenses were denied by the judge. And it took a lot longer to get my reimbursement. She’s terrible!

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.
