This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Unhelpful

"Out of my league" and something I've never done before are 2 totally different things. And just because I've never done something doesn't make it "Out of my league". I don't have buckets of money to just toss around, which is why I was asking what would be my best option. Your answer was very unhelp...ful.

not sure why you are still here, certainly the police and your Attorney have handled this correct? I don't think bickering a web site will help unless that's your thing? who knows?always call the police when a crime has been committed always call 911 for medical assistance. Always talk to your lawyer and stop confessing on this website for ALL to read.

No help what so ever.

As she stated my question was to general for her to answer. I was threatened by a family member and wanted to know how to go about getting a protection order and if what he did was a good enough reason to have one. Her answer was to call police or local lawyer. As the conversation went on she continu...ed to talk to me as if I were stupid because my question was too general for her. Would never pay for advice from her let alone want it for free. Hoping to get advice from a better lawyer. Good luck to anyone who gets stuck with her.

Best of luck with your situation still can't nor could any lawyer without sitting face to face. Sorry for your expectation that a general answer and question website would solve your problem. You are not alone in expecting a solution from a bunch of strange lawyers and when told its not possible to take rage and anger out on the free advice. God bless you I certainly understand and so will the readers. I do not take it personally just here to help steer people where they need to go.

Answered Questions best she could

I got a response from her regarding an employment related question. her profile says she practices 100% defense. However she is the expert here NOT ME. I am an engineer, educated Mechanical Engineer to be specific. I am sure she would take my advise on an engineering question if I responded. I dont t...hink she was rude at all. I see several posts on here claim she was short and rude. I didnt personally experience that. I also read her responses to those reviews and question if it is in her best interest if she actually replies. My advise would be that trolls are trolls and legal problems bring out the worst in people and the worst people bring out the legal troubles in themselves. So don't reply. She is clearly not an English major. I am not either, however the people complaining about her grammar need to learn how to use a preposition before they act all pedantic online. over all she was good. Answered my questions. Directed me what to do end of story. Shake my head some peoples kids man.

Thank you, I do my best and type fast and short cut missing spell check thinking the folks want some sort of answer to direct them where they need to go. I learned a long time ago no good deed goes unpunished and don't take peoples rage and anger personally. I get it, know they are confused and frustrated just like me when I am asking question to a plumber or hvav. I get frustrated as well. Just my way of giving back. I could care less about the bashing and stars as I have so many thankful clients I have helped. BUT I do appreciate your review. Hope I helped a bit as many lawyers won't even answer questions...... which I may consider to take a break.

Can't handle questions very well, short temper if you mention you're unsure whether you'd like to get a lawyer involved.

It was obvious she wasn't interested in helping by giving very vague answers from the start. I still thanked her for her help. When I asked a couple more questions, she answered partially, but the moment I mentioned that I wasn't sure if I wanted to get a lawyer involved yet, this was the response sh...e gave me... "A lawyer such as the one you are asking is one you do not want to get involved? Confusing. Get off this web site as we are all lawyers involved with answering questions on a general basis. You can represent yourself without a lawyer go.......get off this web site answer your own questions. Get It sure you do I am a big fan in hiring professionals if you think being your own lawyer with no degree, education or license is a good do it your own home project ok. No one will stop you. I would never even consider representing myself in any law suit period without a lawyer but hey you may do well. I have to hire the professionals because it gets ugly when I botch the job and have to pay more to fix the plumbing,h vac, hair whatever." I find this extremely unprofessional (not to mention childish). It was at 1:23am, so it makes me wonder what her mental state was when she replied in such a way. But in any case, if this is the way she treats people whom are unsure about whether or not to get a lawyer involved to pursue a case, I can't imagine anyone deciding to hire her when given such attitude, especially with such an atrocious use of grammar. Sorry Avvo, I'll be looking elsewhere.

I am direct compassionate and clear whatever time of the day it is. This poster confused this web site for an actual attorney client relationship happens all the time. I wish him the best of luck and hope he can solve his problem instead of sparring with Attorneys.
