This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

She took my money and a year and a half of my life

She touted herself as an expert in Domestic partner. This was before gay marriage was legal. It cost me $12,000 dollars. I had to declare bankrupt, I lost house Lost everything. I did get a nice bouquet of flowers for my 12 grand. If it's the same receptionist, she smells awful. Like a wet ashtr...ay. Save your money, go call Saul. I will never forgive for what you did to me,Vanessa.

Ms. Crakes did a great job dividing my and my ex-wife's retirement funds after our divorce.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Ms. Crakes to divide the retirement benefits that I was awarded in my divorce. I found her to be very knowledgeable. There were several different types of benefits to be divided, and she was able to answer my questions and explain the process in a way that I found easy to understand. She c...ompleted the work promptly and I felt that she looked out for my interests throughout.
