Hired Attorney Ms. Kate M. Benson

She told me to lie in court and it ended up ruining me and my son's lives. She told me to lie and say I was with a current boyfriend for longer than I was. I ended up losing my kid in the long run. She draws things out just to get money.

Hired Law Firm

If you for sum reason need to hire a lawyer I highly recommend not hiring Amanda thole she a liar she is a lazy lawyer never once ask me to stop in and have a office visit to sort out sittuat ions of charges and she calls off a private caller ID to talk to client this isn't grade school amanda then you put her in front of a bunch of people in court room and she loses her ability to act as a lawyer and ask for another court appearance for person with charges then gets it to a trial jerry and calls in and for fits her obligations to client by quiting as there lawyer with is fine she was by far the most worthless person I've ever del with as far as law involved charges and even thought she forfeited be for my appearance court time I was there on time and when she would of came if she had wich she didn't I was going to tell her that she was done acting as my lawyer cause she was absolutely terrible and waste of space in the court room far as helping a client .I would not refe her to any 1
