Review Kelly Shindell DeLacey

Misrepresented

Posted by Robin Fri Apr 05 2019

I needed an experienced, committed, fight for your client, litigator. Those were the reasons I hired Ms. Shindell and those were the qualities she promoted. Unfortunately, she possessed none of those qualities. She was clearly unprepared, evasive, self-justifying and outrageously expensive.
This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
