Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.My ex-husband hired her behind my back. The financial information was not accurate. I did not receive the correct percentage of alimony deserved by law. I lost my Tri-Care medical insurance from the USAF, due to the wording in the documents. I felt she did not act in either of our best interest. I will have to take my ex-husband back to court, due to the medical and financial mistakes. I lost my home, I cannot work, I'm still in college, & the stress is detrimental to my brain disorder.
She was completely unprofessional. She worded legal documents that did not work out in either parties best interest including the children. She caused more drama than needed to be and dragged out the process for years when there were no marital assets to be divided. She dragged you to court for unnecessary reasons without even having all the information so she came off not even knowing the case before the judge. She slandered names and contacted the opposing party directly even though there was an attorney representing that party. I would not recommend her. Both parties would have worked it out in a civil manner but she prevented it from happening which hurt the children more than anything. She breached so many ethical laws and was into the case to win it for herself not for her client. She even had the judge complain to the BAR on her in one of the hearings.
