I had a very difficult case and was kept informed the whole time about what was happening and how things were going. I had a great result.
She was extremely unprofessional and at one point tried to coerce my child into saying she was abused in the home and went as far as to argue with my child calling her a liar. She was extremely rude to us when she did not get the response that she wanted. She never spoke to the Judge about what my child said instead she told the Judge a lot of misinformation and untrue statements. This attorney not once called my child nor spoke to her outside of court. She missed an important court date and never let any of us know she wouldn't be present and then followed up with an email about things she has no business in handling. My child is going with a different attorney, one that has been looking out for my childs best interest before being hired. I don't recommend this attorney to anyone as she's extremely unprofessional and doesn't give clients the time that they deserve to discuss their case before their court dates.
She took months to get our process started. Took many months to answer phone calls and emails. She was pleasant when I met her in person, but completely unprofessional. She used “on vacation” as an excuse multiple times when apologizing for not answering or getting something done quickly. She took about three or four months to deposit the final payment check and never answered my call or email when we requested she do it as soon as possible.
This attorney is the most unprofessional person I have ever met. She agreed to help us and for other 3 months did not return any of our calls. She checks her voicemail so infrequently that her mail box is often filled so we were unable to leave a message. She has all of our paperwork and has refused to return it to us by not returning our calls. I would not hire this attorney under any circumstance.
