Kids are first with her!

I’ve read opinions & opposing ideas on here. I’m not surprised bc if you’re in a court appointed parenting position you’re already dealing in a power struggle. Tahra is focused on the kids because it’s her job. She knows that they will grow up to make their own relationship & decisions. Children are...n’t “owned” by you, their individuals developing to adults. As divorced/separated parents our job s/be to focus on agree of core values allow & flexibility of exploration & experience, vs. controlling. Otherwise you teach the kids triangulation & cause further anxiety to the with division. What she says is-it’s time to be grown-up!

This Woman is Vile

Sinks will 100% take your money, but she will have no idea what's going on with your case. She has been sued by a group of ex-clients for her behavior. Her secretary does most of her work for her, and he is incompetent. She will pretend to be friendly and caring when you talk to her on the phone, and... then she will drag your case out for years, accomplishing nothing while charging you thousands and thousands of dollars. Absolutely do not hire this woman. You've been warned!

Parenting time coordinator

I made a regrettable decision by appointing Tahra Sinks as my parenting coordinator. She has proven to be the least effective choice I’ve made as a parent. Her bias against the non custodial parent was evident from day one, and her paralegal, Tony, lacks professionalism. Moreover, both of them are un...responsive to communications via emails or phone calls. She will request a hearing before any attempt to resolve issues, which will cost you thousands of dollars. If you prioritize your children’s well-being, I advise against hiring Tahra Sinks at all costs. I feel sorry for anybody that hires her for a criminal case.

Traumatic Experience

She is rude as is her desk jockey. Won’t get back to you in a timely fashion but will gaslight you into thinking you’re expecting too much. Beware, beware, beware.

She considers the child first.

I was assigned Tahra Sinks about 3 years ago by the court due to ongoing court battle with my ex over a period of a decade. She started both of us with a clean slate in regard to my son. Time proved out the problems I had with my ex's care of my son were legitimate and ongoing. Tahra advocated for my... son's best interest. We are hopeful for his future thanks to her.
