"I normally don't write reviews for businesses because I believe everyone should experience they're own perspective on a business. However.. this is not the case with this practice at first glance everything will seem normal and the "Lawyer" Michelle will walk you through what she believes is her set standard prices. Then when all said is done you will get charged for not only hidden fees she never mentioned in her contract but she will dupe you and say she did XYZ when she never has and claim she has done the work. What is XYZ you ask she will charge to leave you a voice mail, charge for emailing, charge for anything you send to her email, and can and will switch her prices on you if she's feeling nasty about it. Think twice before entering this lion's den she's something for sure. (would leave a negative star rating if it were possible)."

"The worst lawyer in the world. There is not enough time in a day for me to describe the unprofessional and disgusting experience I had with this firm. Her license should be revoked! I wouldn’t even rate her a 1 that’s too good for her and her poor excuse for a secretary!"
