Andrea Salinas

Ms. Salinas came in on my case as the second attorney with the firm, it was explained that she was the "senior" attorney, which was a bit misleading as I later learned she had been practicing for only three years. Ms. Salinas initially did well with the preparation, appeals, and settlement portion o...f my claim. Shortly before trial, she suffered some mental health issues, and was let go from the firm -she was currently working for the law firm of Jason S. Newcombe. The law firm did not inform me of her release, until I had called, distraught that she had a breakdown on the telephone. The senior (only other) attorney then came on my case, but had little time to prepare for trial at that point, which was highly stressful and traumatic. I do feel like my case was mishandled and at the end, Ms. Salinas was extrememly inappropriate and unprofessional. I do not believe that Ms. Salinas or the law firm of Jason S. Newcombe handled this admittedly highly unusual matter well at all, and it could have cost me custody of my children. PLEASE do research about your attorney and law firm - I learned a valuable lesson.
