Bogus

Very supporting about my issues then does nothing but act like a nine year old brat. Promised for months that a para-legal would call. Finally had another attorney discuss case because she was too busy and I bothered her by inquiring every couple months about status. He quit her the next day, so now ...she was handicapped and filed in wrong court and failed to follow through with any of the information which I accurately gave her and watched her take notes on. Knew nothing, then throws a tantrum when reads the disappointment on my face. I HAVE seen 7 year olds act with more composure in court. Her process server boyfriend and herself were evasive and misleading. She demanded more money before presenting the case and has never returned any, or my documents where she retained originals. You will be taken with her sales job that emphasizes and supports your position. SHE will be your savior before she turns on you after draining the maximum she can from your wallet, all under last minute dead-line pressure. Then it is YOUR fault as the drunken child comes out. A complete incompetent. A waste of thousands of dollars charged and thousands more a competent should have been able to acquire from defendant in short time, before statute of limitations expires.

I Withdraw my Recommendation for this Attorney

Ms. Smith was the second foreclosure attorney to take my case. I submitted to her all the documents I had accumulated in the case thus far. She did not thoroughly review the documents to plead adequate claims to further the case. I was extremely disappointed in her response time. She was released... from the case due to incomplete work. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone who wishes a thorough and adequate job to be completed.

Foreclosure lawyer | Aug 30

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"There are only a few attorneys in WA State who understand and can handle foreclosure defense cases that require litigation (not just a bankruptcy and repayment approach). Jill is one of them and is well worth a call or a referral."
