This attorney is representing my sister. We think she is anyway. So far, she's been rude, non communicative, and condenscending. My sister is afraid to call her. It's a total crap shoot as to what the end result will be. She came highly recommended, however, I will not be one to recommend her to a...nyone. It's a difficult enough time w out your lawyer acting like she's a putz. She has a way of making you feel she's playing for the other team. Hey lawyer lady, hows about you take less work and spend more time with your clients? Yuck

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
