Tackiest, and most unprofessional lawyer I've ever encountered

Attorney Martin was always late to court, often looking like she was just leaving the club. I gave Attorney Martin the information to my case and she didn't even take the time to look over it, which resulted in my case being dismissed. She exhibited poor professional courtesy to the other attorney.... She quite often displayed this uppity attitude, but she was quite unknowlegeable about the proceedings. I would not recommend that she represent even a dog! Terrible personality and very sad individual.
