Dear anonymous, I am concerned that you may have made this October 2018 post in error, since I wasn't and haven't been available to be retained as an attorney since the Spring of 2018. I have never, ever had any client complain that I was unprepared - if anything, I tend to over prepare. I also have no recollection of any complaints that I have made offensive comments, and I would certainly hope to be afforded an opportunity to address any such complaint if one existed. -Rebecca Edwards
