Cons

Lacks attention to detail and makes mistakes in handling cases
“She continuously made mistakes such as sending me to the wrong court house, telling me not to submit documents which was used against me, she failed to give the judge a witness list so we had no witnesses.”
2
Lack of communication and responsiveness
“She used the excuse I have other clients besides you to explain why she did not return calls or answer emails.”

Questionable billing practices and refund issues
“She accused me of not being able to pay her saying I owed her thousands of dollars, when she never sent an invoice. I fired her the first day of my trial. I am considering filing a complaint against her with the Bar.”
