I specialize in family law. My interest is primarily what is in the best interests of the children in divorce and custody matters. I have three children of my own and I understand the importance of stability and structure for children, as well as access to both parents. I will make sure you get the appropriate amount of child support and spousal support and the best possible parenting time plan.

Wish I had read the reviews before wasting my time and money

I don't know if she has too many clients, but the communication was very poor. I tried giving her the benefit of the doubt, but over time she became more and more unreliable. As one of the other reviews noted, I was in constant panic and not kept informed. Things were done at the last minute and havi...ng to follow up on requests ended up costing more money in the end. Her rate per hour is lower than most attorneys, but not worth it.

Domestic Relations Nightmare

I would not recommend this Attorney. My case was handled poorly. The communication was poor. I was not informed, and things were allowed to expire. The poor attention to my case has caused a serious delay and damages.

Not reliable

No, I'm not a bitter former client with my ratings. I actually still have her retained and is my current attorney . Just until I can find someone with reputable background and an attorney that doesn't nickel and dime me , oh and one that keeps me informed and not in a constant panic.
