WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE

Had my case for 2 years never said a word in court, never argued in my favor, missed court often, never gave me advice, inaccessible too many things to say. My case still going on 2yrs 3 months later because of her ineptitude. Only occations she would try to reach me (through her secretary) was whe...n I fell behind on payments. $9000 later I was broke and I could no longer pay her the remaining $6000 ($15000 total) so she decided to stop "representing" me without even letting me or the court know. Other legal advisers tell me my case is so easy it should've been solved in 1 or 2 three hearings maximum.

Best Lawyer

I had to hire this awesome lawyer in 2014, and she had to deal with our case for over 2 years. The outcome was better than we expected and she really pulled through for us. She got all of the yucky legal drama cleared and we got to move in with our lives. I highly recommend this lawyer, she is very k...nowledgeable but also very confident and she stands up for what is right! I have dealt with a few lawyers in my life and they all seemed to be money hungry crooks. She put my faith back into the legal system. Thankyou Kathleen you are truly amazing!
