Consulted Attorney 2022Very rude to you while speaking to her. Clearly can’t hold a job either.. went through plenty of law firms in the past 2 years

Hired Attorney 2012-2015Extremely unprofessional, cold and rude. Insensitive to the elderly population and inpatient. Hurt my parent financially and failed to protect her future. I would not recommend this attorney. She refused to take any accountability or responsibility re: her actions. Would not even talk or advise for a minute without payment. Seemed aggravated and annoyed every time contact was attempted to be made with her. Last call she hung up on me.
