DISBARED! ATTORNEY CANT PRACTICE LAW! This Attorney took my money, and NEVER filed my case!

I hired this attorney due to high marks on this site. I paid the attorney and she never filed the paperwork stating it was all lost in the court. I filed a claim with the state bar of Arizona who has Despard this attorney

Needs Some Serious Work On Communication Skills

She was great with answering & returning calls up until after the first court appearence with her as our lawyer, then we paid her the rest of the money making the full amount she'd asked for paid off and now the dumb broad can't answer or return a single call (even after leaving voicemails every time...), message, or email. I'm beginning to wonder if she's even a real lawyer, or just a fraud... I would've rated 0 stars if this site would've let me

THIS IS NOT ONE OF MY CLIENTS. I believe it is a friend of a criminal defendant who has contacted me, stating that it is not fair that a client doesn't know what is happening until before the next hearing. She has provided her name but has never provided a client's name. I have never met her. None of my clients have mentioned knowing her. I am a member of the Arizona Bar and I have been since 2002. My bar number is 021555.

Very Friendly, Yet, Professional

When we first hired Valarie, we got a bit uneasy after paying her in full then not being able to get ahold of her for a couple weeks. But after finally hearing back from her, we discussed it and she pointed out the facts of it being the busiest holidays of the year amongst other understandable person...al reasons, which, therefore, it's gonna take a little more time to meet up & discuss the case than I anticipated. So I then realized that I had overreacted a bit. I just couldn't help but get more nervous as it got closer to court. I should have at least waited till after the next court date before going as far as writing a review before the job was even done; it wasn't fair to her. So to Valarie, I am so sorry about everything. You made some good points & helped me get a better understanding of the situation. Thank you for trying your best & doing everything in your power to help this situation get the best outcome possible. Please forgive me for my mistake

Thank you for communicating with me, and listening to my explanations. I appreciate your efforts to correct your other review. I am open to hearing more about how I can improve communication. I certainly want every client to get the attention they deserve.

Great Criminal Defense for a felony DUI case

Valerie McNeice helped me through the toughest part of my life. Although I was subject to the law of the land, she mitigated the consequences tremendously. She argued for a lighter sentence on my behalf due to my predisposition as a combat veteran. Without her in my corner, I am certain I would have ...been in prison instead of on probation. I wish I could give her six stars due mainly to her pricing options. She offered me a great price and we were both lucky enough to have the situation of my case turn out the way it did. However, the result would have been different if I never called her for help. She is an outstanding lawyer for my case.
