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.

Worst human

Had to give a star but she doesn’t deserve even a quarter of a star. Was forced to have this person in my case by the court. Tried to remove her but she stayed involved for years. She sends children to their abusers and sides with the abuser to keep litigation going so she can get your money. There’s... groups of ex-clients who have sued her collectively for the damages she has caused their families. Though attorneys are scammers, this one is the worst. She enjoys destroying people’s lives to make money. Beware!

Tahra Didn't Prioritize My Needs As A Child

I was the child in my parent's custody case for my sibling and I. Tahra lied to me, misled me, and rarely offered the support she was hired to do. As a child, I believed Tahra when she told me she would help me. It was clear that she could help me, but she didn't ever seem to have the time or drive t...o follow through. Tahra unnecessarily escalated many situations and rarely provided solutions. She tried to make me feel special by meeting with me at a coffee shop as opposed to her fancy office but was twenty minutes late. Tahra misguided me into believing that she would work for my best interest, not my parents'. In hindsight, she was the only person who came out of the situation with any gains. I realized that Tahra had deceived me only after believing she could make change possible for me after a year. Tahra's promises were empty and ostensible, a dangerous combination for the vulnerable child I was and the situation I was in. Tahra could've done more and chose not to.
