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.

Too busy for another client but not too busy to bill you.

I understand that Tahra would get bad reviews because she is designated to help couples in contentious relationships to navigate co-parenting. However, Tahra is too busy to tend to urgent matters that arise. She's at a soccer match, really REALLY sick, in court, out of town, etc. Nor does Tahra h...ave time to call both parties when investigating allegations. One party says that the other party only feeds the child raw worms. She consults with herself and writes a finding stating that the allegation is true. She sends both parties a letter and a bill for an hour of her time. The kids say that they are locked in a closet. She consults with herself and writes a finding stating that the allegation is true. She sends both parties a letter and a bill for an hour of her time. Perhaps she was too busy to call you for a month? She is happy to bill you at double her regular rate to call you on a Sunday. You may not need a color coded calendar, but she's happy to have Tony make one and bill you for it. Tahra has a great game face smile when you first meet her. But, she does not have time to truly serve her clients. You might be willing to pay for her services at times, but she's too busy. Or, she simply doesn't care. There is not a clear litmus test to know what she will attend to and what will get ignored. You may need a parenting coordinator who you can trust. Your kids may need a good parenting coordinator. Tahra is just not the right one to make sure your kids are safe and healthy.

Unprofessional and bias

Tahra was a PC in my custody matter. She would not address my concerns appropriately. She would not permit claims made against me to be contested or require proof of false claims. She did not respond to my requests for a schedule 3 months in a row. Granting respondent all requests. During her testimo...ny she was unprepared and ill informed. She made false statements because she couldn't recall. She placed blame on me for continuous partners introduced to child. Specifically, said I was preventing respondent from having a relationship because of her order to clear them by her office. Her timeline of events were inaccurate as well as the nature of the events. In general, she picked a side and met in private several times to advise respondent while never offering me any advise and later using this to say I have not improved and recommending child move with respondent out of state and away from her home/siblings/parent. Based on false information and personal bias.
