Best attorney I have ever worked with. Honest and to the point. Would hire her again

I was the child in my parent's custody case for my sibling and I. Tahra lied to me, misled me, and rarely offered the support she was hired to do. As a child, I believed Tahra when she told me she would help me. It was clear that she could help me, but she didn't ever seem to have the time or drive to follow through. Tahra unnecessarily escalated many situations and rarely provided solutions. She tried to make me feel special by meeting with me at a coffee shop as opposed to her fancy office but was twenty minutes late. Tahra misguided me into believing that she would work for my best interest, not my parents'. In hindsight, she was the only person who came out of the situation with any gains. I realized that Tahra had deceived me only after believing she could make change possible for me after a year. Tahra's promises were empty and ostensible, a dangerous combination for the vulnerable child I was and the situation I was in. Tahra could've done more and chose not to.

I understand that Tahra would get bad reviews because she is designated to help couples in contentious relationships to navigate co-parenting. However, Tahra is too busy to tend to urgent matters that arise. She's at a soccer match, really REALLY sick, in court, out of town, etc. Nor does Tahra have time to call both parties when investigating allegations. One party says that the other party only feeds the child raw worms. She consults with herself and writes a finding stating that the allegation is true. She sends both parties a letter and a bill for an hour of her time. The kids say that they are locked in a closet. She consults with herself and writes a finding stating that the allegation is true. She sends both parties a letter and a bill for an hour of her time. Perhaps she was too busy to call you for a month? She is happy to bill you at double her regular rate to call you on a Sunday. You may not need a color coded calendar, but she's happy to have Tony make one and bill you for it. Tahra has a great game face smile when you first meet her. But, she does not have time to truly serve her clients. You might be willing to pay for her services at times, but she's too busy. Or, she simply doesn't care. There is not a clear litmus test to know what she will attend to and what will get ignored. You may need a parenting coordinator who you can trust. Your kids may need a good parenting coordinator. Tahra is just not the right one to make sure your kids are safe and healthy.

I was a client of Tahra Sinks. Specifically, she did not focus on what was in the children’s best interest. She belives that register sex offenders have the right to have sole custody of children. She was biased, used information to fit her agenda, she is not fair to all parties, she loves men that have the power and money and did what she wanted regardless the legal parameters. She was forgetful on specifics, lost paperwork, did not tell the truth and over-billed charging interest when my bills were paid on time. I would not recommend using her legal services.

Ms. Sinks failed catastrophically. Do not allow the court to appoint her as a parenting coordinator to your case if it is at all complex, because she cannot handle the complexities of physical, sexual, or medical child abuse, mental illness, and parenting rights, despite assurances that she could. She delayed a reunification for three months while allowing the opponent to prejudice her severely with false documents and insane allegations. She ignored signs of child abuse despite being a mandatory reporter. For the pleasure of her services, she attempted to bill us nearly $20,000, despite the fact that we were the victims of a malignant opposing parent. She should be ashamed of herself, but apparently she is not.

Tahra was a PC in my custody matter. She would not address my concerns appropriately. She would not permit claims made against me to be contested or require proof of false claims. She did not respond to my requests for a schedule 3 months in a row. Granting respondent all requests. During her testimony she was unprepared and ill informed. She made false statements because she couldn't recall. She placed blame on me for continuous partners introduced to child. Specifically, said I was preventing respondent from having a relationship because of her order to clear them by her office. Her timeline of events were inaccurate as well as the nature of the events. In general, she picked a side and met in private several times to advise respondent while never offering me any advise and later using this to say I have not improved and recommending child move with respondent out of state and away from her home/siblings/parent. Based on false information and personal bias.

Did not listen very well during meetings and interrupts frequently. Did not seem focused or prepared for meetings by being familiar with my case. Did not seem to take all info into consideration and look at my case individually. Had a hard time being accurate and consistant in her emails. Struggled with understanding the laws that apply to my situation.
