She was referred to me & I wish I had saw reviews first. First & foremost, if I wanted to be mistreated I would have stayed married. Her tone is extremely unprofessional and makes you question who she represents! She appears rushed & never has time to talk to you even though you’re paying for the c...all? I dread every time I need to hold a conversation with her. She’ll tell you - if you need a shoulder to cry on I’m not the attorney for you. No what I needed is an attorney who works for me and does her job regardless of how large the case is. Despite the size of the case all clients deserve proper representation. I run a business myself & ALL of my clients are important to me. She runs her business off the size of your wallet not the level of your needs. There’s were multiple issues unresolved and she flat out refused to address them. I’d not recommend her services to anyone - go find someone who is worth the money and wants to work for what you deserve! Do your research and think twice - wish I did!

Run the other way!!! She will not explain anything to you and if you call her she has an attitude like you interupted her day even tho your paying her way too much for what shes worth. Also she will meet you in the hallway of court room 3 mins before seeing judge even tho she said she be there 30 min... before and then procceed to coarse you into agreeing to somthing before seeing the judge. She will try to make you agree to terms more suitable for your counterparts who she isnt representing. Like previously stated, Run!!!

She recommended settling for a lot less than what a judge awarded me - then did not follow through with QDRO paperwork and other monies awarded by the judge ... $350 per hour ... still due ~ $50k ... all awarded by the judge ... With her, you need to know when to move on and cut your losses ... I do... not recommend her to anyone :-(

My fiance hired her for his divorce about a year ago and she was horrible. She would yell and him if he called her and didn't feel like the question was important enough or if she felt like he was wasting her time. She wasn't able to make it to one of his court cases and asked him why he agreed to pa...y more child support than the court calculated. How are you going to expect some one that has never gone though something like this to just go into a court room and know what they are doing that why we hired you. Then she forgot to forward some documentation over to the court after he hand delivered them to her office. Not a good lawyer a waste of thousands of dollars

I guess a long time ago she used to be very smart maybe even polite. does NOT listen to the paying client. Makes rushed judgements about you personally and personally attacks you as well!!! speaks down to you like a dog. You will leave her feeling like an idiot and crying curled up in corner. Divo...rce/custody are tough for everyone, she states clearly that she will not "hold your hand and will be tough on you at times" she does not mention if you try to explain yourself or disagree with her, she will stomp on your hand and threaten to leave. ABSOLUTLEY NO PATIENCE or COMMUNICATION client left to wonder where money is going?? Mood swings that you and your children will suffer. Could care less about you as a person or welfare of the children. Leaves all decision to outsourced third parties. Hormonal Lawyer Bully
