Cons

Difficulty reaching and communicating with the attorney, especially as a Child and Family Investigator (CFI)
“It was very difficult to get ahold of her. I called her every day fo”
2
Perceived bias and lack of thoroughness in CFI investigations
“She did not look at or consider any BLATANT and OBVIOUS evidence in front of her and seemed to not take any of it seriously, but it was serious stuff to the people it's happening to. It's like she did not want to even consider the fact that it was true, and it ABSOLUTELY was!”
3
Delayed responses and reports, and requests for additional payments
“She refused do a thorough investigation of anything as she is clearly looking to only accept top pay rates for little to no work. She disregards any other professionals opinion and takes her own to present in court as more credible than a medical professional.”

Unprofessional conduct, including tardiness and sloppy appearance in court
“She shows up to court late, unprepared and dressed sloppy.”
5
Perceived bias towards 50/50 custody arrangements regardless of individual circumstances
“I personally believe her to be a failure, and a disgrace to the Justice system itself, as she just wants the job done, and just wants to throw 50/50 out there regardless of individual circumstances so that her job can be done, and she doesn't have to do any actual INVESTIGATION (as her title implies).”
