This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

ripped me off for my consultation fee and never saw me

I had a consultation set for her, and I paid $500 with my debit card in advance, shortly before my appointment a lady called, super curt and rude and told me my appointment was canceled and Joan would not see me, she would not give me a reason why she wouldn't see me AND they NEVER refunded my $500. ...Totally unscrupulous lawyer

A real piece of work

Incredibly unscrupulous. She'll drag your case out until your accounts are dry and your credit cards are maxed. $10's of thousands of dollars later and still the case wasn't resolved. I would steer clear. Also she hates children.

Worst attorney ever

Worst attorney ever She hired a private investigator who stole my money and just acted like it was no big deal she read didn’t school schedules with the actual school schedules so all my paperwork was wrong she lied to my face on multiple occasions and she cussed me out she didn’t file any of the th...ings I wanted she just did what she wanted and got a second opinion and they told me how bad that she had done me.. She is possibly the worst attorney in Eureka I would never hire her for anything she is a lying money grubbing she’s way too busy

Terrible, mostly unavailable and deplorable rude

She did nothing to advocate for my case, gave more than one instance of bad advice that ended up dragging my proceedngs out and then once I had found a new lawyer made it difficult to get my file. Steer absolutely clear.

Best in the west

She's fierce, supportive and down right vicious. She's representing my case now, expensive but well worth it. She's grade A, and sweet! If you're in need, choose her before Rory! You'll be oh so glad you did!
