A waste of time attorney

Don't use this attorney. You're going to pay for absolutely nothing. Hired her in November for an alimony case. I'm in May right now and nothing has been accomplished. My court date is in June and I'm having to fire her and rehire another attorney because she was always too busy to help me. She will ...send you home with homework and make you do her work because she has no one working for her. And the excuses oh boy she's got a lot of why things don't get done. From her phone going down and her having to get a new phone, to being scammed, to moving her office, to picking up her dog, because she's just too tired etc... I read a review on her once this started happening to see just how her reviews were written. You'll notice that she has no reviews lately and I doubt this one will even make it. But one of her reviews a woman said exactly what I'm saying. And I read that a month ago and realized that she is taking me just like she took this other women. I have nothing good to say about this woman. And her billing is also shysty. She doesn't itemize her billing. She'll just say email / phone call and then charge you $450. Other attorneys will write exactly what that email was How long it took them and what came about that email and then you're billed accordingly. I've asked her numerous times for an itemized bill and she refuses to give it to me. I wasted $5,000 on her of which I will take her to the bar and try to recoup some of my money. Please don't waste your time with this attorney. You're only in for more frustration than your divorce.

  • 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.
