"She is a complete crook. Took my retainer in a divorce case and never once talked to me again. She bailed and fired herself the day before my first hearing leaving me with.no representation. She totally messed up my case and in my opinion is a crook with no integrity. She has blocked every review I've posted in the last three years. Total fraud."

"Worst Law firm I have ever delt with I hire an attorney form this firm to handle a Ex Parte hearing I was charged 3500.00 I was then told she was going on vacation for about 2 weeks and wouldn't be able to have my hearing till after then. After her vacation met with the lawyer for about an hour to discuss the history of custody hearings and what the current situation was. after the meeting it was extremely hard to get in contact with the Lawyer and when I called or texted took days at times to get any response. The day prior to the hearing I called and texted multiple times to talk about the hearing the next day with no response. Finally spoke a few Minutes before the hearing the next day, we went into the hearing and the other party didn't show up we had a 5 minute hearing in which the judge asked what we want to happen and all she said was to dismiss the Ex parte with zero augment on why it should be dismissed such as the other party has filed multiple motions and not showed up for the hearings along with other augments that could have been brought to the judges attention. At this time she was trembling and while the hearing was going on which to me showed her nervousness or inexperience. When the Judges orders came in she couldn't as she didn't know how to perceive them explain to me what they were and another hearing for the default out to the end of April she then told me that she needed another 3500.00. After that I decided to find another Lawyer whom I have hired I informed her and told her she needed to file her removal from the case which like everything else took almost 2 weeks which delayed the other lawyer from filing things that he needed to file . I was at the court she said she would meet me to file some things she then filed her removal, after agreeing with me to meet the next day to file what i needed as the court states that you have to wait 10 days to file after the lawyer was removed. I also requested on 2-11-25 that my new Lawyer that I hired needed my file she asked who he was so she could send the file. Today is 3-17-2025 and he still has not received the file"
