Scammer

This lady took a case for a friend of mine she asked the family for 10 thousand to take up his case, then quit and said she wasn’t helping them anymore she kept the money and gave no explanation as to why she was throwing the case she basically took advantage of them and when they went to ask For do...cuments and get an explanation why she threw the documents at his mother (whom is an older lady) then called two security guards and kicked them out like they were criminals don’t give this lady your money she will take it and not help you.

Worst attorney you could get

This is by far the worst attorney i ve ever had. I m not even sure she knows what shes doing or what the law really is. She acted like she did a ton of work to get a standard offer i was already told i would get long before i spoke with her, very deceitful also. I was cleared for a work detail while ...going thru court and she was supposed to be at court and sent someone in her place, needless to say i ended up woth a warrant and the she wanted to charge me to clear up a mistake she caused. She cleared me to leave and s caused a issue. In her contract it states if she has another attorney stand in for her or has someone handle a duty it comes out of the retainer set forth. Instead she tried to charge me the fee.

Hello, It is unfortunate you have had a negative experience with me. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and take steps to resolve your complaints. Thank you Pia

Do not hire her!

I hired Pia to represent me and that was not what she did. She showed a lack of interest in my case and was hard to get a hold of. I even had my phone calls ignored. I had to end up firing her and hiring a new attorney. By this time I was already out a lot of money. She does not care about the best i...nterest of you and only cares about getting paid. Please do NOT hire her! I definitely felt taken advantage of and hope this doesn't happen to somebody else.

Turn and Run

She is not aware of your case when she speaks to you. She does,nt let you are believe you when you try and explain your case. She 's weak in the court room and doesn't fight for you Just goes alone with DA,s decision. She talks down to you never did I get visit in jail before court.She isn,t a boar...d certi crimal attorney. She just doesn't care about you. Not someone I would ever let handle ANOTHER CASE OF MINE i WOULD NOT REFER HER TO ANY ONE
